Well, I think we ALL know someone who goes over the top on buying baby stuff. my gf just had one last summer....it was outrageous.
The centerpieces were $100 worth of gifts in a basket or vase. and the four people at each table were expected to contribute $25 each towards the centerpiece. when i called to Rsvp, she asked me for a check to help defray the cost of my table's centerpiece
........Ah, NO! I've already bought her a gift.
Then....we were all asked to bring one pack of diapers to that additionally. The average out of pocket for each guest was about $100.
Not me. I'm the resale queen! i dress my dd and fs in gymboree and gap and never buy them new. I push around a peg perego and kate spade diaper bag and bought them so cheap 2nd hand, you'd cry.
Our little foster parent group in my town act
ually starting throwing a party for each child that finalizes. one lady had adopted NINE TIMES and no one had ever given her a shower. She gets her first one in october!
oh, btw, the girl who had the above shower, spent so much on her new stuff (spent more even after the shower)- sadly, her house is in foreclosure....but her son just had his room redone from pottery barn. SOOOO SAD! What the heck is wrong with these people?
