I just had my shower and only recieved 4 things off of our registry :(. DH's family got me a bunch of clothes even though we are team green. The clothes are cute BUT they are "boyish/gender neutral" things in sizes 3 and 6 months. I'm anal and by the time LO is in 3 month clothing he/she will be in all gender specific stuff. I already have all I need to survive the first few weeks clothing wise and then plan on going shopping online and in store to get gender specific stuff. DH's family already knows this. The items did not come with a reciept or gift receipt but they are Carters brand. What store should I return them to? Will the store know if the stuff didn't actually come from that store? I don't expect money back just in store credit. Blah I wish they would have stuck to our registry. We also got some long sleeve onsies in size 9 months but by the time LO is fitting into 9 month stuff it will be end of spring or beginning of summer.

There are Carter's stores... try there first?
-
@pastemoo: We don't have any Carter stores where we live.
-
Do you have Kohls? I had good luck returning Carters brand there if I didn't know where it came from. I know BRU has Carter's, but I think their return policy is a little more strict.
-
@Mrs.B: Bummer.
I didn't know there were Carter stores here until a few weeks ago.
Kohls, Babies R Us, TJ Maxx, Target all sell Carter's in our area. -
I would try Target & Kohls!
-
I returned Carter's stuff from my shower at BRU w/o a receipt.
-
I have this free app called "red laser" on my phone and basically you scan the tag and it'll tell you everywhere IN your city (and beyond) that that item is sold and for how much.
Basically....I scanned my baby items and it would say this item is sold at "bru 2miles away" "target 5 miles away" and "Carter's 90miles away" so Id pretty much know it was either BRU or Target
Its not foolproof but it helps A LOT -
try kohls i returned stuff there without a reciept and they gave me store credit, no questions asked.
-
Kohl's has a really good return/exchange policy and carries Carter's! I would try there first!
-
@TurtleDoves: ooh, now that is smart!
Do the items not have tags? If they are without tags, I can't imagine a store would take them back. Actually, I take that back. I removed some tags from Gap items and they can use the info on the tags inside the clothing to come up with the return price. But for Carters, I can't imagine Kohls would take it back unless it has a Kohls tag on it.
I'd keep the long sleeved onesies, especially if they are white. I am currently using both long and short sleeved ones in the summer.

@TurtleDoves: cool app! I'm going to DL it right now!
I say keep the long sleeve onesies too. Many times, tags say "x" months, but after you wash it once, you'll notice it shrinks a little, and oftentimes babies can wear them a few months earlier than the tags say. My LOs usually are ready for sizes 3 months ahead of when the tags are labelled. And my LOs aren't on the heavy side at all... They were average - under-average in weight during their first years.
I say consider keeping some of the other clothes too. We get a ton of clothes as gifts also... a lot actually that aren't my style and/or extra since I shop a lot too... but I do use some of the less cute clothes as playclothes so I don't worry too much about them getting dirty, stained, etc...And I save the cuter clothes for weekends, picture taking, etc... But I totally understand about returning things... I do it a lot! Good luck!
