Nothing off my registry! People even asked for it. It's all stuff I needed and really wanted. I was pretty bummed, even though that sounds a little selfish.... I got a few onesies, some small blankets, baby socks, a few books and a rattle! I was on here ranting the other day how some people in DH family didn't get me much even though I got them a lot off their baby registries! I really didn't think I'd get so little considering I was so generous to them.
 
that is really obnoxious, i'm sorry :(
i mean, what are registries for?? you're letting people know what you need!
are you only having the one shower?
 
Yes it sucks! Unfortunately it's my only shower, my family lives in a different country than me so it's not possible for them to host one for me. :(
 
I got about 3 things off my registry most people got me clothes and such which I dont mind since he always needs those. My mother in law bought our carseat which came in the mail today so that was awesome one of the more costly items. I dont have alot to buy this time since I know what I need and don't need.
 
We had one shower where we only got clothes, none of them registered for and ALL of them in 0-3 month size. Luckily, most were from toys r us. I've just been taking everything back I can. It's so bad that I've already reached the max number of returns for the YEAR at target without a receipt.
 
It's really luckily that they'll let you return something without a receipt Sass. I don't think anywhere in the uk will let you do that for a refund so you're stuck with a gift you don't like if no gift receipt here! x
 
No refund, just store credit, but fortunately, target has everything under the sun, as you probably know Jules. I was able to et a storage piece of furniture, the boppy cover, a bottle, a sun hat and some pacifiers. It's like this oe but longer and without the bins https://www.target.com/p/riverridge-kids-6-bins-storage-unit-espresso/-/A-11300498#?lnk=sc_qi_detaillink
 
I do indeed remember (especially for some reason the 2 tonnes of Halloween candy they always seemed to stock for the month of October)! One track mind at the moment? Not much! x
 
My first baby shower was march 23rd..except only about 10 out of 30 ppl showed up...I posted a thread in 3rd tri about it...
But of the ppl that did show up we Got a few things off the regostry like bottles a baby monitor and his bouncy seat.
My aunt and uncle sent us diapers and wipes snd bottles and my diaper bag off my registry since they couldn't come. And one of OH's friends sent us our baby swing he is stationed in afghanistan I thot thay was so sweet.
My second shower being thrown by my mom which is mostly my family is tomorrow so well see how it goes.
 
i have a very small family, so I was worried we weren't going to get much off our registry - I just happened to get lucky with my job. I have super co-workers (besides my sometimes obnoxious boss), and they just went all out.

it's such a bummer that some people aren't more generous when it comes to babies. babies are so expensive, and new parents need all the help they can get!
 
That's a shame people buy the wrong things or don't show. We don't really do showers here, one if my friends organised one for me but I cancelled it as she invited her friends not mine and mine couldn't make it, plus I didn't think it was necessary for baby no.2. I'm not a big one for being centre of attention either so I'm happy to not have one. It's very different though here - people buy gifts in general when the baby arrives and you just get what you get! Family might buy something specific like the pram or cot but everyone else buys their taste in baby clothes abd all tend to be 0-3 months. We were given a crab knitted hat last weekend - yes a bright orange knitted hat in the shape of a crab hmmmmm
 
In fact this is it: https://m.gap.com/product.html?dn=gp422133002&dv=1&cid=91493&vid=1&pid=422133002
 
I think not!! It's 0-3 anyway so will be too big for its head as a newborn which is very unfortunate lol!
I'll have to take a photo of it in it though. Also it's quite thick - not quite sure when its meant to wear it as hopefully we are entering summer!
 
such a bummer you guys don't do showers in the UK....as obnoxious at the US is, baby showers are one thing I think are really great.

I think the crab hat is actually kind of cute, for a boy. not sure I could see a little girl in a crab hat?....
 
Our friends are quite quirky so we always get things that are a bit random and my DD has always had more boy clothes from them than girly stuff. I can see a boy in it more - although no idea what we are having so could well be a girl in a crab hat lol!
 
reminds me I need to buy some baby hats my son had a huge head so never fit the newborn hats hahah thank god he grew into that
 
Holy I am beat today!!! Can hardly keep my eyes open and just want to EAT LOADS!
