Help! Dilemma over Birthday and Christmas pressies (explain all in message)

[west3]

Help - dd's birthday (she'll be 5) is on Thursday and in laws have just delivered her pressie ready for the big day. Despite me telling them oodles of times what we have bought to cover both birthday and christmas what they have bought for her birthday is exactly the same as what we have got as her "big" present from Santa. Haven't got time or transport to be able to go and get something else. Any suggestions welcome.

Other problem is they have bought clothes for ds (6 months and big for his age) that are age 0-3 months from a shop that doesn't exist near us. Don't want to hurt feelings but starting to get frustrated.

Have just had an e-mail from www.mailorderexpress.co.uk that says they are still taking orders for Christmas and can deliver them in time.

I assume it is really obvious that it is the same or v. similar ? tbh I think your dh should be upfront and say you think they've made a mistake and duplicated. Can it really not be exchanged before her b'day or a substitution found, assuming she is uanware of this as yet? I'd definitely say something about the clothes - they may be able to exchange them if you can get them back to them. If they buy the wrong size now they always will.

The reason i know it is an exact duplicate, is they said when they delivered it what it was and how much they thought dd would like it. I know i should have said something there and then, but didn't have the nerve.
Will try mailorderexpress - thanks for the tip.
