baby showers

[kangagirl1321]

my friend just had her baby girl and she was gonna have a baby shower with friends but then she had the baby so it had to be rescheduled. i had more time to find something for her. i dont spend a lot if i dont have to. i go to garage sales and find things that are new or gently used with no stains or nice stuffed animals. of course if they are big then i wash them. if they are small and dont stink i put them with the baby stuff. i gave my friend a 25 cent blanket, 1.00(in the box) baby shoes, and a little pink teddy bear which i got for like 10 cents. so she got a gift that was retailed about 15 dollars and i only spent $1.35 on it. the bag i put it in was a used but like brand new bag from verizon and i just covered the label. thats how u do it folks. don't spend a *bleep* load of money on someone who had like 2-3 baby showers already even before she had the baby. everything that i got was brand new or gently used and like new. that's how i roll. my friend said she doesnt care if it is used.. the baby will grow and she wont fit into it for long. she doesnt want us to spend a lot in the first place.

That's the way to do it!!  There is nothing wrong with getting a bargain!  Just as long as it looks good! It is great that your friend is appreciative of what she gets, not what the price was.  I hope everything goes great with her and her baby!  Tell her congratulations!  There is nothing like having a little one around! Babies are precious gifts from God!

Yes that is true not to spend a lot and if u spent 15 dollars your way you would have got even more they will get more for their money that way anyways !!! Always garage sales for these type of things they will grow out of and toys too boy you would save a lot that way !!!

she should be grateful for anything yu get her i know i would it the thought that counts not the price

I've never been a big fan of bridal showers and baby showers because I hate feeling obligated to buy things off of their registry list. And then when I do, everyone has already bought the things in my price range and all that's left is expensive stuff. Sounds like your friend is a lot cooler than some of the people I know. Maybe in the future I'll take your route and just find things that are a bargain. I guess it depends on the friend though!
