...when buying clothes as presents.
hopefully I'm not sounding mega ungrateful here but it was DD1 christening at weekend. got lots of lovely presents, I was really overwhelmed with the amount of stuff and how generous people were. the only thing is, we received lots of clothes, that are 2 sizes too big (18-24 months). I know people probably thought that was the best thing to do but they are really summery things - a white sundress, some sandals, a couple of rompers - and by the time she fits in them, it'll be winter! so she won't get to wear them. i feel like it's just such a waste of money, I feel gutted as the clothes are lovely but will just drown her. when I'm buying kids clothes as presents I try to think of the weather! so not buying wooly jumpers 2 sizes too big when it'll be summer... I don't particularly want to go back to all these people and ask for receipts because I feel cheeky!
