how do I tell someone that I dont want an...

[CLH_X3]

I would ask her to show you which one it is before she buys it when she shows you act all shocked and say you already have one that your MIL/FIL/MUM/AUNTIE has bought etc... its so cute etc...

then she can buy something else

Just another point - Sorry here lol!!

For my nieces 2nd birthday I bought her a replica Crystal Palace football kit and some nike trainers. I didn't ask my sister and her dad is a bloody Tottenham fan!! But she wore it loads for nursery and running around it. It also did look super cute I'd have been gutted if my sister said no I can't buy her that, cos I can buy her what I want

Don't apologise its great to get as many opinions as I can, I knwo I may feel different when the baby is born (dont know if its a boy or girl yet) but that's just not my sort of style really so I can't imagine dressing my baby in it, its hideous.

It would be a boring thread\world if we all agreed with each other all of the time. I personally LOVE a good debate

Well, I thought (semi) honesty was the best policy, so I mentioned to the person who was going to buy it that as baby will be born in the dead of winter it may not be warm enough for going out in so she then suggested a coat she had seen that she liked and said shewas going to get that, the coat is lovely and her feelings werent hurt.

Yay! Well done, crisis averted....and a nice coat in to the bargain

Well done, I totally agree with you, hate tracksuits and trainers on anyone
unless they going to the gym/doing sport. x
