Would this be really cheeky?

Found out I'm expecting DC2. Already had lots of friends and family asking what we would like/need.

Last time we ended up with some lovely things and also some things we never found useful and some things we got in doubles or even triples!
Plus DC1 is a v awkward size so some clothes - what people buy the most - would sometimes sit in the drawer and take up room for a year or more until they fit properly. And if this DC is the same gender we have tons of clothes.

I have recently seen someone do it online and I thought it's not a bad idea but prepared to be corrected.

I'm thinking of starting a wish list and giving the link to the people who ask us what we'd like etc.
Thinking of doing it on Amazon and just things between £1-£45 everything from toys, bulk nappies to bath stuff etc and things we know we will use/need.
I'm quite happy to get anything and absolutely don't expect anything from people but like I've mentioned before some people have been asking what to get us.

AIBU? Would you see this as cheeky?

I don't think it's rude or grabby but I do think it takes away the surprise element and the personal touch from receiving something that a friend/relative has considered by themselves. I wouldn't be offended by a list but it would take the joy out of finding something for you on my own. I would assume you were either really skint or very particular.

NRTWT but DB has just found out he & his DP are expecting. I asked what they'd like (youngest current DC is 10) & he didn't know so I asked for some suggestions. The Amazon thing could work quite well especially if family/friends are widespread & are asking!

As it is I'll probably put a box together over the coming months with essentials in & give them that. They know I've started hand-preparing fleece to spin & then crochet a christening shawl.

If your family/friends are happy go for it

I did it and it was very handy. If people are going to buy you gifts anyway far better that it's things you would actually like or use. If they would prefer not to use it they don't have to. Or maybe you could just ask for gift vouchers to use in stores you would buy stuff in.
