Bought my friend a cheap baby shower gift ...aibu ?

[sallyhoooo]

So it was my friends baby shower and I bought her some vests and bibs and a outfit (reduced for £15.99 to £5.99 in the sale )
She didn't know boy or girl so I wanted to wait till after the baby was born to buy nice outfits.
Anyway she said she didn't like what I bought and did I have the receipt so she could exchange.
I unfortunately didn't but she told me she took them back and the exchanged anyway
Now I feel so guilty that she knows I spent only £5.99
Aibu to feel crap here?
I've just spent another £30 on some more outfits now.

Unless it said "fuck you mum/dad" surely they are all wearable.

It was short sleeve and she said as it was getting into autumn/winter it would be too cold for him to wear ...and they weren't appropriate

Bit rude of your friend. I did exchange some gifts for my son. But only because they weren’t the right size / season (ie Christmas outfits that it would be June when he fitted into them)

I think she was rude.

So rude. They can wear short sleeve vests under clothes even in the depths of winter, too many warm layers and they can over heat really easily. She's a CF.

*She doesn't know it was £5.99 when you bought it because you didn't give her the receipt. She just knows that's what it was eventually reduced to, so that's what the exchange value was.

Also, what kind of ungrateful mare wants to change vest or bibs, ffs?*

All of this! And I say that as someone pregnant and about to have a baby shower (which I have made clear to everyone is about a get together with no obligation for presents at all, but there is no way in this world I would tell anyone who was so kind to get me anything that I didn't like their gift!)

I just thought the outfits were lovely and I like to spoil my friends children

Hate to break it to you OP but no baby has ever cared about an nice outfit. 😁

You weren't unreasonable to buy a £5.99 gift. It sounds like you got her a nice gift for a bargain price... nothing wrong with that at all!

Your friend is very rude. If she really didn't like your gift she didn't need to tell you that, she could've gone and exchanged it without saying anything.

I definitely wouldn't buy her anything else.
