Question about a baby gift

Ok, so I mentioned a week or so ago about this shower we were invited to.  Im not sure if we will go, but I did but something off the registry.  I got a diaper pail and the baggie refills for it.  Should I get something else (was thinking about getting those onesie monthly stickers)?  I spent $35.  Im not buying the diapers like they want for their "raffle."  Keep in mind, I never talk to this person and kinda despise her.

Re: Question about a baby gift

  • I think it's really sweet and generous of you to even buy a gift considering you kinda despise her. That being said, i think you did just fine and don't need to buy anymore items, especially if you plan on not attending.

    Why do they want to do a raffle?

  • $35 is more than enough for someone who's shower you aren't attending and don't particularly like! We were invited to a wedding in September for a friend of a friend who I'm really not a big fan of. We couldn't go anyway but I didn't even send a gift. I feel kind of bad but I really hate being invited to things when I don't know a person and then have to feel obligated to send a gift!
  • I think that is plenty. And I think it is fine for you to not participate in the raffle - I hate those things.

  • I think what you got is fine and plenty enough. I don't blame you for not participating in the raffle. I don't like them.
