In-laws give us gifts from bins

[GooglieWooglyWooglyWooglyWoo]

Every single present that the in-laws have ever given our baby, they say have found in a bin/skip or on the street. They are a little bit hard-up, but they are able to afford basic things like groceries. I completely support people helping to save the environment, and I'm eco-conscious myself, but I feel like soft toys and things can get pretty unhygienic second-hand. You don't know where they've been, and I understand that they are thinking about us when they find them but I just think it'd be nice to have something new from them. And some of the stuff I'm not even comfortable accepting or giving the baby as it looks quite dirty, but I don't want to be rude.. it's every time we see them!! I just don't want to seem uptight or ungrateful. Surely there are toys made out of recycled plastic? Also does anyone know of some good eco-conscious toy brands please?

When you say bins do you mean public bins you find on high streets/roads or people’s outside home bins??

Hot wash soft toys or bleach plastic toys, they will be fine.

Giving a baby stuff out of bins is just foul. The baby doesn’t need anything anyway.

Id tell them you have too much stuff and not to bring any more.

I've had to do this twice now, for my aunt and for my DM.
My late Aunt left her entire estate to me, She was disabled and had a housekeeper so everything was in order. I got a local auctioneer/valuer to have a look at it, he was very knowledgeable about what had value or not. Quite a few items went to auction including a long case clock and jewellery.
I think after his fees I got about 4k. (The house was already sold before she died, she got a lump sum to pay for her round-the-clock care and the company took possession of the house sfter her death.)
For my mum's house my DB and I took the items that meant something to us, DB had her gold coin collection and I had her jewellery. Then we got an outfit called Junk2Clear and they did the rest. Broke it up and carted it off. Cost us about £300 AFAICR. It was a bit upsetting but necessary.
As others have recounted, DM had a hugely inflated idea of what her old furniture was worth. "But it's G-Plan" or "This came from Maples/Heals!" Still not worth a light really, after forty years of daily use.

Oops, wrong thread. Apologies.

Just put the gifts in the bin after in laws have gone. Ask them to buy books from the charity shop instead. There are always baby books there, often for 50p or so.

Only on Mumsnet...gave me a chuckle though.
