Hi
Wanted some advice before I ask people....
Lots of my family have asked what they can buy for our newborn for Xmas. I think this is nice they have asked as we ABSOLUTELY do not need any more clothes and I don't want anyone wasting money on something that won't get used. I've happily made a list of a few inexpensive toys etc and said if they were happy to choose something then that would
Be lovely. Equally happy if they choose not to as we are fortunate enough to not need anything.
I was wondering though, is it reasonable to ask people not to buy certain things? I am thinking specifically of the giant teddy bears etc which people seem to think are cute but are pretty useless and just sit gathering dust. We have a small two bedroom flat and just don't have room for Things like this. I think one person in particular will insist on buying such things and I've said if she does it will need to be kept at her house (she has a spare room) is this reasonable?
