is it rude to return baby shower gifts

[kmommy2b]

Got some really cute stuff but im missing essentials like a baby bath, safety stuff, baby gates, and socks. I got soooo many memory books and they are so adorable but i know ill never have time to complete them and having more than one is almost pointless because they all say the same things! I also got tons of lotions and blankets but i dont know when ill even use them all.  Is it rude or ungrateful of me to return alot of the stuff i got?

Thanks for the advice i dont feel so guilty now :)

It's not rude at all, I did it. You need what you need.

I returned a bunch of things. It's not rude at all. A lot of people don't have kids and don't know what to buy so you end up getting a lot of the same thing. Plus half the people aren't ever going to be here to see if I'm using their things.. I'm sending thank you cards to everyone though

I don't its rude at all that's the purpose of the gift receit. I returned a lot of things because I received a million and one newborn clothes I hear the babies grow soon fast and the new born clothes have a weight limit up to only 10 -11pounds so I switched out the sizes for 3, 6 and 9 months

i personally didnt return anything i would just give them away as presents at other bbyshowers but thats just me i dint have enough time. but no i dont think its rude

I don't think its rude. Most of my baby shower gifts came with the tags on or gift reciepts so I could exchange or return if I needed or wanted.

I didnt get any bottles.. bottles are actually something i need to get. I have about 13 blankets not counting recieving blankets and i just dont know what to do with all of them!

No its not rude at all just make sure u keep enough cuz u don't know how much you will go through but returning items to get wat u really need isn't rude at all

I would say keep a few of the bottles of lotion and definitely keep the blankets, they'll be useful as burp rags or anything.

You gotta do what you gotta do, you can't help that you still need these things.
