Second hand cuddly toy for newborn baby

[workingitout1234]

Bought on Vinted
nice thing to gift or no?
thoughts?

Indeed you have the choice to accept or refuse entry of any item into your home. I am not sure that is a gendered thing.

No and I would bin it.

what im trying to say is if you have a thought process of thinking you might not keep something due to bed bugs (ops the one who brought this up not me) then you dont turn around and say ill give it to charity lol. You'd bin it. If I dont want to risk it for myself then im not risking it for others. Thats my point lol. I think op was trying to pass comment to not open herself up to criticism by mentioning bed bugs and charity shop because you're 100 per cent right... she doesn't think it has bed bugs, shes talking nonsense.

Are you okay

🤣 Priceless response! Lol

Most stains held under cold running water should disappear.

😂😂😂 oh, op give it up please!!! Go and check your inventory or something fun like that!!

Lol i think everything my dd has ever owned has been 2nd hand from charity shops. Future ds is also fully 2nd hand when he arrives. Some people are just snobs. Providing the item in question isnt damaged or dirty theres no issue. No wonder theres a landfill crisis happening.

I’m a half and half sort of mum. There are some things I want brand new and there are some things I’d happily use second hand. I love Vinted for outfits that would cost £20 that I get for a £5.
I am really funny with things like bottles, toys, dummies, especially teethers. I don’t think I could have used a second hand next to me crib or Moses.

Thats fair enough i understand some things people arent comfortable with. Both my kids have/had 2nd hand next to me cribs, cots and moses baskets, clothes, toys. The only real new things they got was towels and dummys.

Yes. Consumerism is disgustingly wasteful. Re-use as much as possible. Not one harm will come to the newborn.

I agree

If they had washed it before gifting I wouldn’t be offended. In fact, I would be glad they had bought second hand.

Look up a company called Loved Before. They’re on Instagram. It’s seriously eye opening to see how damaging all those NEW little teddies are because so many that go to charities actually end up in landfill.
