It was my birthday last week and my in laws gave "me" a walker for LO for my birthday.
Does this ever happen to you?

Wow. I can understand something that you use but is beneficial for baby. But something that's completely for baby??
-
Yes, someone gave me onesies for my birthday last year!
-
when I was pregnant I got baby gifts for Christmas from my SIL, super cute...but not actually for me. I'm pretty careful not to do that, mommy needs love too!
-
Wow, I would hate that. I'm a person too!
-
lol haven't yet, my birthday is next week, we will see! I wouldn't mind gifts that were for my LO if I really wanted them or asked for them. for example I really want a new baby carrier or a jogging stroller, would totally take those for my bday!
-
The only way that would be ok, is if it were a gift certificate for a maternity or newborn photoshoot. I'd be thrilled with that.
Or gifts that are indirectly for the LO but also for you, like a camera or video camera.
But a straight up gift for LO? No. Not cool.
-
No! That is not cool. My friends still get stuff for me!
-
I'm not sure how I would feel about that. On one hand I would feel like people have forgotten that I'm a person, but on the other hand, if it was something we really needed or wanted, I might just be glad to have it given to us...
But I have baby fever like crazy right now, so my opinion might be colored a little bit.

@mrsaudi: I DID ask for an Ergo. I got that from my hubby! But when my MIL asked what I wanted, I said I would love a gift certificate to Target so I could buy some new picture frames and candles. She got me a baby walker! LOL.
-
@Rainbow Sprinkles: YES!!! I was a little... um offended? Actually I thought it was funny. I just have to choose to not be offended by her anymore.
MIL did this too. She gave me tons of owl stuff for *my* birthday. Now what am *I* going to do with a stuffed owl

@Mrs. Superhero: that happened last year at Christmas, I was 30 weeks pregnant and did receive a few baby gifts. But I also received items for me. At that point I was so excited about baby I thought nothing of it!
-
For Christmas last year I asked for gifts off our shower registry, but that is what I wanted. We needed the gear and didn't want to spend a fortune on our own.
I do make an effort to give gifts that people ask for though, and if mama doesn't specifically ask for gifts for baby, then I would never get her that.
-
@Rainbow Sprinkles: I want to ask for an Ergo for Christmas, but that's more for me than for her anyway! But, for my birthday, MIL got me a giftcard to TJ Maxx and told me I was forbidden to buy the baby anything with it! I think a walker is a little crazy to try to pass off as a gift for Mom!
-
I don't get gifts anymore for the most part, but I wouldn't mind something for LO since that saves me the trouble of buying it myself! =P
-
For christmas I don't care if my little guy is the only one that gets stuff. But for my birthday I want my own stuff NOT for him. I already spend everything on him. I don't get anything of my own.
-
I wouldn't care! I'm kind of picky about stuff for myself so I can see it just being easier to buy something cute for LO. Nobody really buys me presents anymore though!
-
Yes. My first Mother's Day I got a pack of onesies and a teddy bear from my in-laws. They, however, got my husband something for himself on Father's Day. Honestly, it irked me a bit!
