to be disappointed in this newborn present?

Not ever having bought anything from Shien, I would not know. Are they inflammable or something? If not, then some people don't have the choice of liking things - better on someone's baby that has nothing new, than in the bin, say I.

Oh fuck! I never got any of my friends or family presents for their babies. Luckily they still speak to me years later.

I would never buy from Shein and wouldn't put my baby in it. I thought everyone knew by now it was awful.

I can't believe people saying they wouldn't buy anything for a 3rd baby

Shein stuff is potentially dangerous. Baby clothes from there should go into the bin.

Yanbu, I'd never gift someone something from Shein. Also hate the mentality of not gifting for a third baby or gifting less. I gift to the child not the parents and wouldn't deprive them from a thoughtful gift the same as their siblings just because they are the youngest. I'd of likely just washed it to be honest though so at least it had got some use and not been a total waste.

If you don't give to receive then why are you disappointed.

That I agree with, that Shein sweats. But perhaps you are happy to drive an electric car despite the child (slave) labour used in the Democratic Republic of Congo to mine cobalt? I won't have an electric car, they are monstrously bad for the environment long term (and short -term bad for kids in the DRC).

Why have you started a thread on this?

Urgh

Get over it, with a first baby maybe getting out and buying a gift was just too much and ordering something from SHEIN was all she could manage?
It's the thought that counts, also surely you could have washed the items and donated them if you weren't going to use them? Very wasteful to throw them out.

You could have given it to a charity. Many people cannot even afford the prices in charity shops, or Georget etc. and would be grateful for something new for their baby. Don't be so snobby.

You don't know they did not take trouble, you just didn't like the gift - though throwing it away was a bit extreme; you must have money to burn. You probably embarrassed her with such a large gift as you gave, too. Never have I either given or received such a large present between friends for any occasion. You sound snobbish and as if you only give to receive and weigh gifts by what they cost, not why they were given. You don't sound a very nice person, I'm afraid.
NB What you give your sister is miles away from what you might expect from a friend - bit cheap, going to George though (in your apparent terms)!

I would have kept it, washed it, took a photo in it and the said it got stained. I certainly wouldn't have binned it but that's your choice.

You wouldn't but many will, I see many people in my day job. Who can not even afford charity shop items so when Shein give huge discounts they are happy to have something new for their child. You and a good few others on here sound like snobs to be honest. And why would you throw it away Surly there is a baby bank or homeless charity close by who would have taken it

Tesco is going to start selling clothing on its website again, according to the business section of the Times.

I think your gift was over the top

Whilst I agree that is an crap company to buy stuff from, its their first baby lots of cost and not much time to spend looking for gifts to be honest you spent far to much and you cant expect to buy exspenive gifts for other just for them to spend as much money on you. Id just say thanks and then what you do with it is up to you.

At least you can regift S&G. It isn’t fair to pass Shein tat on.

Same 😅 soap & glory stuff and teabags would be completely useless to me. But I'd still be grateful, say thanks and appreciate the effort. I certainly wouldn't be bothered making a thread complaining someone got me a present that wasn't to my taste 🙈

I'd genuinely rather have an outfit from Shein than soap and glory stuff 😂

I don't think it's a money issue, it's down to taste. Most of the clothes we got for our little girl were absolute pink shit.

I think she made an effort n as much as she browsed ajd placed an order and it arived on time to give it to you.

But anyone buying from shein has low standards because as you say, they are a shit company for many reasons, so you're fighting a losing battle.

Basically I wouldn't expect a nice gift from anyone that shops at shein. And I'm not snobby, I'm more than happy with charity shop gifts or no gifts at all. I literally hate shein.

My post on here has clearly been reported and hidden - I am not angry about this but I genuinely want to understand what I did wrong so I don't make the same mistake again.

I did say that I didn't think Shein stuff was harmful to babies after it had been washed, but I also said that was only to my knowledge, and I was happy to be corrected if wrong...... So I made it clear I wasn't trying to pass my opinion off as concrete fact.

If the person (people?) who reported me wouldn't mind telling me why I would honestly be grateful. I feel a bit upset actually, and worried I have done something awful without realising it.

I only really posted because I know a lot of people have very little money and use Shein for their kids out of expediency, and I didn't want those people to feel judged - I often think that scruples like ethical shopping are ones that sadly only the better off can easily afford to have. If you need to clothe your family, you need to clothe them. (I use charity shops myself but not everyone has access to them, depending where they live and what hours they work).

Have asked HQ for clarification too. Again, I am genuinely sorry to whoever I offended.

And of course posters think you should wash and dry it and donate it to charity. Throw it out and be done with it. It’s a shit gift and a now MN wants to make it a burden you are ecologically responsible for

Exactly this. Throw it into the bin and try to forget about it.
