    El got 3 of the same items for her half birthday so I took 2 back. i just checked the shelf found that asda sold them and took them back easy as 1 2 3 no questions asked.

    What if I can hazard a good guess where it came from but I don't know for sure? It's something you can get anywhere but I think this one was bought from Asda.
    in that case just take it to wherever you think will swap it and that has stuff you want to swap it for, asda should be fine as they're usually happy to take pretty much anything back :D

    As an aside, what has been everyone's favourite new baby gift? :)

    And least favourite if you want to confess it! ;)

    Fave... hmmmm toughie...
    Possibly a baby flower basket - flowers made up of socks, hats and baby grows arranged in a basket - it was so pretty and yet practical!
    Alexandra however would probably vote for "Raffi"... She's merrily munching one of his legs at the moment :eek:

    Least fave? Uhmmm oh set of trainers - they look awfully chavvy but the thought was nice :) She'll ofcourse never actually wear them!

    bad ones are easy :o my dad's mum got Chris some 70's looking brown socks :confused:!!!!!!?! she also has a talent for picking the most vile scary looking 2nd hand teddies from charity shops and buys age inappropriate stuff - suitable from 3yrs cars for 1st birthday anyone? :rolleyes:

    best stuff was from dad's best friend, he'd just had the snip so his wife gave me tonnes of V handy stuff my fave being the BFing pillow I'm using right now :D

    presents for Ed were much thinner on the ground :(

    To answer my own question..

    Fav: Either the toy basket - like a hamper from a really posh hamper place; I accidentially found out how much it cost, £65!! :eek: Or the huge bag of practical things which my best mummy friend gave me. It's got allsorts in it, ranging from stuff we need now to things we need for weaning and beyond. All the things she'd found most useful :)

    Least fav: Anything Winnie the Pooh.. I'm sorry, I don't know why, but I just can't stand it! It's all very nice things in principle, just they have WTP all over them. I can't understand why someone would choose something so specific (rather than just clothes with random cartoon dogs on, for example) when they have no idea if I/we like it - particularly when I thought I'd been so vocal about not being able to stand WTP!

    And, yes, don't worry.. OH has been telling me what an ungrateful so-and-so I am.. :o

    LOL see I got so many REAL flower arrangements that I thought it was lovely - only the hats didn't fit and she hates having anything on her head anyway so no great problem... the rest she's actually used so I thought it was quite nice :)
    You got posh trainers tho - mine were a) pink b) cheap c) not actually nice looking - but I said thank you very much all the same and will just pass them on at some point ;)
