I swear my little girl has more clothes than paris hilton. I knew this would happen so i didnt buy any clothes at all during my pregnancy. I only bought the outfit i wanted for her hospital pictures and her coming home outfit. Luckily my shower was in february at the start of the spring season and we got lots of spring summer clothes that were just in season. No matter what, you'll get things you dont need, or already have. With the items that i did not have a receipt for, i took them to target, walmart, and kohls and they did returs without receipts. I got store credit, and now use the store credit to buy diapers, or whatever comes up. It worked out perfectly! I got TONS of clothes for my shower.

I have a lot of clothes that my son never wore. Also, he is very warm blooded, which you don't know til they get here, and so we had tons of fleece type stuff that he couldn't wear. So, I put everything in totes and I'll keep them for the next one and see if the seasons will work out there. I also didn't get a lot of things that were on my registry. My husband and I had to buy the exersaucer and swing and other big ticket items. I completely understand where you are coming from. Yes, this same thing happened to me.

Plus I think they're just a lame cover for asking shamelessly requesting presents. Just my opinion. You'll have to graciously accept them and then perhaps donate them to a women's shelter or children's hospital (NOT Goodwill). Congrats on the baby.

People just LOVE buying the cute little outfits. Return as much as you can and the rest you can sell on Ebay or Craigslist or give to charity. Yep, it happened to me too.

Also giving some away in the Christmas drop boxes for needy familes or Red Cross is a good idea. There is always something you can do if you have too many of something and someone is always out there needing what you just might have too much of.

What works out nice is my sister is pregnant and due in Mar so at least she will get alot of nice clothes hardly worn and I am definately going to tell her to not put clothes on her registry because people buy them anyway and she will have plenty. If you don't have anyone to give them to then, save if your going to have another baby or give to charity.

I didn't register for any and still ended up with a ton, especially smaller ones. The good news is, babies can go through clothes so quickly (sometimes 4-5 outfits in a day), so you might actually need them. Also, personally, I would skip the "newborn" size altogether and go straight to 0-3 months--my daughter has "newborn" clothes that she was too big for from day one. Some stores, including BabiesRUs, Wal-Mart, and Target, will let you exchange things without a receipt if the store carries that item. This could be something to try with common brands of clothes like Carter's. People love buying baby clothes…they’re little and cute and just generally irresistible.

But you could always return some and get clothes for later in the future or take the money and put it towards another baby item.

A Pregnancy center that has a teenage mom would greatly appreciate clothes and such. I, myself, received used items like clothes (not many), crib, swing, bathtubs, and so on. I used them until my son outgrew and then passed them on to someone else that could use them. They weren't snobby about receiving used merchandise, but were grateful that I saved them some money !!! I even took some of the merchandise I received and re-gifted them at other baby showers. Some of it was used and the recipeint knew beforehand and some of it was new. Each was truely grateful. I'm sure that you will experience the same thing. Cowgirl is right !! A Pregnancy center that has a teenage mom would greatly appreciate clothes and such.
