Boys - they would! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/writing-a-thank-you-note-for-a-returned-gift#post-867135 Wed, 19 Jun 2013 09:19:29 +0000 .twist. 867135@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Alivoo01: haha I let my husband write out thank you's for his family for our wedding. Never again. He's absolutely ridiculous and thankfully I only gave him people on his side of the family who understand his sense of humor. </p> <p>Some of the cards he wrote to his cousins included words like "poop" "jerk" "stupid". LoL. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/writing-a-thank-you-note-for-a-returned-gift#post-867011 Wed, 19 Jun 2013 08:27:39 +0000 MrsBrewer 867011@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@oliviaoblivia: Just wanted to say that your suggestion was AMAZING! LOL </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/writing-a-thank-you-note-for-a-returned-gift#post-866967 Wed, 19 Jun 2013 08:09:41 +0000 Alivoo01 866967@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would write the thank you card like you're keeping it, but return it to put towards the Ergo.</p> <p>I'm like you though, my thank you cards are ridiculously long!! I had to recruit the hubby since he writes short and sweet ones. Otherwise, it'd take me all month long to write them all. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/writing-a-thank-you-note-for-a-returned-gift#post-866840 Wed, 19 Jun 2013 06:51:07 +0000 jh524 866840@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Don't mention returning it, they'll never know! And if they ever see you and ask about it just say I got his one instead. No worries!! Have fun writing those thank you cards;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/writing-a-thank-you-note-for-a-returned-gift#post-866755 Wed, 19 Jun 2013 03:06:26 +0000 illumina 866755@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would just keep it simple like other pp have said. I wouldn't mention you plan to return it, unless they live super close and would see him in the Ergo often!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/writing-a-thank-you-note-for-a-returned-gift#post-866280 Tue, 18 Jun 2013 18:28:31 +0000 heffalump 866280@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My thank you notes are always the same. </p> <p>Thank you so much for the baby bjorn. It was so sweet of you to think of us. (If they don't live near you, see you often, I would add) I can't wait to use it with the new baby. (If you do see them just leave that out..... or later you can just say that the baby didn't like that carrier so you tried a new one). It meant so much that you were at my shower to celebrate with us. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/writing-a-thank-you-note-for-a-returned-gift#post-866220 Tue, 18 Jun 2013 17:46:48 +0000 Boheme 866220@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just write them a thank you note like I don't plan on returning the gift. They'll never know! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/writing-a-thank-you-note-for-a-returned-gift#post-866180 Tue, 18 Jun 2013 17:16:25 +0000 oliviaoblivia 866180@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Will work for unwanted shower gifts. ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/writing-a-thank-you-note-for-a-returned-gift#post-866131 Tue, 18 Jun 2013 16:58:58 +0000 .twist. 866131@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@TurtleDoves: Seriously, I'm thinking of sending her my list!!! :D </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/writing-a-thank-you-note-for-a-returned-gift#post-866126 Tue, 18 Jun 2013 16:58:02 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 866126@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@oliviaoblivia: where the heck were you when I was writing *my* thank you notes?! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/writing-a-thank-you-note-for-a-returned-gift#post-866121 Tue, 18 Jun 2013 16:57:23 +0000 oliviaoblivia 866121@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@TurtleDoves: I knew it, I'm a horrible person. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/writing-a-thank-you-note-for-a-returned-gift#post-866116 Tue, 18 Jun 2013 16:55:32 +0000 .twist. 866116@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@oliviaoblivia: Bahaha, I'm considering using yours word for word. But really, that's actually very good, they don't need to know which carrier I'm actually using... </p> <p>@Dandelion: I can't even thank them for being at the shower! They live in another province and sent it with their Mom (Our Aunt)! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/writing-a-thank-you-note-for-a-returned-gift#post-866108 Tue, 18 Jun 2013 16:53:41 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 866108@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@oliviaoblivia: hahahahhaha, you a**! Note to self: stick to @oliviaoblivia: 's registry! </p> <p>I would just keep it simple. "Thank you for attending my shower and spending that special time with me and X, in celebration of our upcoming arrival, X. We truly appreciate your generous gift"<br /> ... Don't even mention that you'll be returning it for some $$$ to put towards an ergo ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/writing-a-thank-you-note-for-a-returned-gift#post-866104 Tue, 18 Jun 2013 16:52:13 +0000 Dandelion 866104@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just say "thanks for coming to the shower to help celebrate Baby, and thank you so much for the generous gift of the carrier." </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/writing-a-thank-you-note-for-a-returned-gift#post-866100 Tue, 18 Jun 2013 16:51:34 +0000 aprk 866100@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@.twist.: I like to keep it simple :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/writing-a-thank-you-note-for-a-returned-gift#post-866096 Tue, 18 Jun 2013 16:49:39 +0000 Smurfette 866096@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@aprk: ditto!! </p> <p>Or can even say I look forward to wearing baby in the carrier. They don't have to know which one you are talking about. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/writing-a-thank-you-note-for-a-returned-gift#post-866094 Tue, 18 Jun 2013 16:49:02 +0000 oliviaoblivia 866094@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I hate it when people do that. And then I feel bad for being ungrateful.</p> <p>I'd say something like...<br /> "Thank you so much for the crotch dangler (you'll probably want to change the wording there). We are so looking forward to bringing baby x home and are now well equipped thanks to your generosity. We can't wait to introduce you to the baby soon.<br /> Regards,<br /> Ergomama" </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/writing-a-thank-you-note-for-a-returned-gift#post-866092 Tue, 18 Jun 2013 16:48:43 +0000 .twist. 866092@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@aprk: It's that easy!? Man, I make thank you notes way harder on myself than I need to, I think. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/writing-a-thank-you-note-for-a-returned-gift#post-866088 Tue, 18 Jun 2013 16:46:53 +0000 aprk 866088@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Short and sweet:</p> <p>Thanks for thinking of us.
