The shower is Friday and from the buzz I've heard at work today, it's going to be an interesting shower. I am actually going to try to attend, because I have a feeling there won't be a lot of pampers and wipes in the gift pile. No one is really saying what they got, but everyone's been giggling.![]()
Disposable diapers are horrible for the environment.
The shower is during the workday, and as a nurse, I rarely can just drop what I am doing to go attend. Yesterday I returned all the clothes/outfits I purchased for a refund if 56 including taxes. I purchased one big tub of "boogie wipes" for 8.99. I wrapped them and put a big bow on top. Did you know there is such a thing as boogie wipes? I laughed when I saw them. Perfect gift for a snotty mom. She said she wanted wipes.and I saved over 40 bucks.


A coworker is having a baby! She told us the gender a few months back and I went out and got some gifts. I got some pajamas, some onesies, and a few outfits. This past week it was announced that our work party for her will be a "wipes and diaper" party and that she prefers Pamoera Swaddles. I assumed I would just still give the gift I purchased. On Friday we were informed by this coworker that she had a huge family shower and if anyone brings anything other than wipes or diapers just include a gift receipt as it will be returned. And anything other than pampers Swaddles will be returned. She also told us about all the hideous clothes she got and all the things she's Returning and basically beratedall the things she got.
I found this so off putting, I'm thinking of returning my gift and giving her nothing. She's 32, so old enough to not be an ungrateful brat. My husband thinks I should return the stuff and get her what she requested.

But then, I don't hold with demands for gifts. At weddings, polite couples who don't mention gifts receive cash and a gift from Tiffany's. Couples who include registry info or instructions (such as a not-cute poem about how they want only money) get an engraved toaster that reads "A Toast to the Bride and Groom!" The tacky demand is ignored and met with a tacky gift. I hadn't realized how far rumours of the toasters had spread until someone I'd never told the story to mentioned that her sister was having a "toaster wedding."![]()


OP- we're all waiting with bated breath to hear about princess's shower.![]()
