To go along with what David said, I can tell you that the thing that is getting re-gifted from all the stuff we recently received (we are new parents) are those super cute newborn or 0-3 month outfits. Everyone loves to buy them, but babies grow out of them so fast, and we already had plenty of clothes, so we just never took the tags off and squirreled them away for our next gift giving occasion.

What would a parent really love to get? DIAPERS and WIPES! You can get good deals for these if you watch for sales and combine them with coupons, so you don’t have to pay full retail.

When I read the title of your post, I hate to admit it, but the first thing that came to my mind was “re-gift”.

I am sorry to say, but I would simply have to suggest this route. Of course, only for current parents.

After my wife and I had our first child, we found ourselves with soooooooooo much stuff that we got as gifts that we would simply never use, that we just ended up using it for these occasions.

I think we still did buy something brand new for the Mom, but we also wrapped up and threw in 2-3 other items from what we received.

Hope I’m not being politically incorrect, just trying to be realistic about the whole thing.

Honestly, I say forgo photo frames and give a package of diapers. With digital photos, I display my babies’ photos on Facebook, not my mantle, but a package of diapers is a luxury for this cloth diaper scrubbing mom.
