Megan told me they have an owl print so sign me up!! The worst gift I received was an acrylic scratchy blanket. It felt like a brillo pad.
ReplyDeleteI am in my final weeks and I can't think of a worst gift. Just thankful for the generosity of my family and friends. Maybe after the baby is born I might rethink those cloth diapers, but so far practicing on the baby doll has proven that it is easier than it looks!
ReplyDeleteThe worst gift we got was a baby-sized, homeboy, rapper's outfit--with fake Timberlands and all. Granted, it was from someone in NYC--and maybe this is what all the cool babes are sporting there, but I doubt it. The worst part was when I had to put it on my baby when they came to visit...luckily no pictures were taken :) I felt like the worst mom putting him it on him, but he didn't seem to mind. I will get back to you in about 15 years to let you know if it left any lasting impressions.
ReplyDeleteThe worst gift I got was with the best gift I got. My father gave me a bassinet that had been in my family for three generations - which I was very happy about. But he also "made" and new mattress out of foam rubber and stuffing that he thought would be nice and soft for the baby to sleep on. He really thought it was nice of him to make a mattress and didn't understand why I didn't want my baby to sleep on a homemade pillow. I have ordered a proper bassinet mattress!
ReplyDeleteThe worst baby gifts that I got were from people (i.e. my parent's friends) who clearly didn't realize when my baby was due and bought clothes out of season for when he would be that age. Then they didn't include gift receipts so when I went to return them, I got the lowest price offered.
ReplyDeleteThe worst shower gift I got was a metal water bottle clearly not made for an infant. The gift-giver also enclosed a matching bib that would be more useful...except that it was pink with a large flower on it, and I'm having a boy.
