Because these days it's very hard to know what to buy people I now prepare a birthday list (and my husband does the same).

Mine contains specific chocolates, books, toiletries, makeup etc.

It works quite well because I get what I want and other people have less stress.

If something comes up through the year that I want and it isn't urgent then I add it to my birthday or christmas list.

I think it's a general problem these days because people have so much stuff.

The doctor advised that I didn't use bubble bath in my daughter's water - there may be a very simple explanation as to why it is unwanted!

I know but she was and still is still using it......anyhow not worried now it was just my initial thoughts when I first posted

I am honestly not worried now....and no I will not be saying anything to her (but yes I do know exactly her financial situation (she is very open with my hubby) and she is doing very well)

No don't think it is a money thing at all....they honestly have plenty of that. I was just a little sad that's all. I got her some bubble bath etc that is really expensive but as I knew she used it I splashed out for the baby.....never mind live and learn and all that

never buy people bubble bath etc especially if you've fallen out previously.

I refuse to buy things like that for people purely on the basis that if people bought it me i'd think they thought i smell.

dont just judge please.how can yoube so sure this is the one you got her?
maybe she already got oneof this. i just cant understand why ppl justjump to conclusion like this.just be honest with her and ask her. u may get different answer then you think. also if u give present tosome one, dont ever bother with what they do with it.its nonofyour business any more. ppl agree with me or not.?

I wouldn;t get too hung up about the "unwanted gift" thing....if you're going to sell something you have been given, how else would you describe it? I think that "unwanted gift" is merely a label to show that there is nothing wrong with the item and the reason for sale is not because it is faulty. It's just a standard term that can (clearly) be misunderstood by the giver of the gift (if that makes sense)
