Baby Shower Gift Ettiquete: Need YOUR Opinion
My sister (half-sis whom I didn’t grow up with and hardly know) is having her first baby.
My other sis and I are going in on a gift and checked out her registry. There’s an item for $159 that’s rather high end for this particular item (swing.) It’s really cool(it swings both ways), but I saw another really cool 3 in 1 swing for $85 that doubles as an infant chair and bouncy chair. So I’m thinking…I want to get her THAT one. It’s more practical and I know a swing is really only used for 6 months. But is it alright to get something that’s not on the registry and then what happens if someone buys that $159 swing. Her shower is over. She lives out of state and is moving to another state after the baby is born, so I’d have to ship it there.
What would you do? Buy the one on the registry or the one not on the registry???

Gina, that’s a good question and I’m interested in seeing what advice you get. Personally, I prefer to give the gift of money. If others do the same, then they can put it all together and buy something they didn’t get but really need.
