Maybe I'll keep both or return his when I get it. </p> <p>@PrincessBaby: yeah, a lot of friends w/out kids just don't seem to realize how much time is passing! I've had to tell them like "hello! She's almost 2 months and you my close friend haven't even come to meet her yet!" I just had 2 friends visit for the first time yesterday night after a couple of weeks of guilting them! They just don't realize how much a baby grows and changes in a week or two! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wwyd-1#post-746375 Fri, 26 Apr 2013 11:00:25 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 746375@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would buy a mat and if ever you get his either use it another part of your house or donate it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wwyd-1#post-746373 Fri, 26 Apr 2013 11:00:08 +0000 Foodnerd81 746373@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@PrincessBaby: I agree with this-- since he mentioned it already a few times, I think you can totally text him asking where it is, saying baby needs it now. it' not gift grabby if he already got it for you, you know? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wwyd-1#post-746365 Fri, 26 Apr 2013 10:56:20 +0000 PrincessBaby 746365@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's weird that he didnt just mail it. Like, babies grow out of stuff!! Get it to them ASAP if you want them to use it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wwyd-1#post-746363 Fri, 26 Apr 2013 10:56:05 +0000 TemperanceBrennan 746363@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Would you have a use for two mats? If it were me, I would try to buy the same one you registered for and then return the one he gives you. If he doesn't give you a receipt with the gift, you could use your receipt. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wwyd-1#post-746360 Fri, 26 Apr 2013 10:55:04 +0000 PrincessBaby 746360@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would just shoot a text and say "K's getting big enough to where I want to put her down to play...If you'll be coming by soon or plan to mail the floor mat you were so nice to get her, can you let me know? Otherwise I need to buy something else to have on hand bc baby girl is getting wild and needs a place to sprawl out and play!" </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wwyd-1#post-746356 Fri, 26 Apr 2013 10:54:21 +0000 shopaholic 746356@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Dandelion: @MerryC: I chose a "wood" looking one to blend in our floor and I can only find it online. I might just have to do that, but I wish I would have done it with my registry completion then... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wwyd-1#post-746354 Fri, 26 Apr 2013 10:53:19 +0000 twinmama 746354@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Amazon is really good with registry returns, btw. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wwyd-1#post-746352 Fri, 26 Apr 2013 10:52:45 +0000 twinmama 746352@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Can you buy the same one yourself, and then just return the gift whenever it arrives? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wwyd-1#post-746351 Fri, 26 Apr 2013 10:52:38 +0000 Dandelion 746351@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Maybe you should just buy one...and then return his when he brings it? Save your receipt if you guys get the same exact item. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wwyd-1#post-746341 Fri, 26 Apr 2013 10:49:47 +0000 shopaholic 746341@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A friend purchased the foam floor mat from our registry before our baby shower from Amazon. He didn't recieve it before the shower and has been telling me he has it and needs to come visit. If it hasn't been purchased I would have bought it myself because we really need a soft surface since our house is all hardwood. K is almost 2 months and because of his crazy work schedule and moving, he hasn't come visit yet. He said he would a couple weekends ago, but I've learned not to hold people to that anymore. He lives at least an hour and a half away. I really need the mat nowadays to have somewhere soft to put baby down in the living room. WWYD? Should I ask him to mail it? Offer to pay? Buy a cheap rug in the meantime?<br /> DH says I should just text him and ask when he's going to visit? But I also think it could be easily forgotten to bring it with him if I don't mention it? I just don't want to come off as greedy or gift-grabby? </p>
