Gift Dilemna- (might seem a little stupid . . .)

I posted the swarovski toasting flutes that I wanted and were purchaed off of our registry. We have astrong idea that it was FI Brother and SIL that got them. My uncle knows someone who works at a china shop and gets them at discount, and when he asked if there was anything specific that she thought we might want for our e-gift, my mom mentioned these to him. A few days later, they were bought from the registry. My mom tried to stop him from getting them, but It ends up that he already got them from his friend for us. Now we don't know what to do. Both of them are so excited about what they are giving us, and we don't want to hurt either one of them by returning a set. I love them, but what would I do with two sets? Should I keep them both or should I return one set? What would you do?

(could you just picture the wedding having them both come up to us and say that 'THOSE ARE THE TOASTING FLUTES WE GAVE YOU' )

I would just keep one and return the other, if it comes up tell them the truth. My BM had a ringbearers pillow made for me (her son is the ringbearer), and my FH had just bought the one I loved. I told her and she was totally fine with it. I am using it somewhere at the wedding, just not as a RB pillow.

If they are both the same set, keep one glass from each set and let the gift givers know. Everyone will get a good laugh and you will have a piece of each gift yet still have a matched set

Part of me thinks I should keep both. I know this sounds crazy, but maybe it was meant to be. (what if something happens to them at the wedding)?

I say keep both!! Just think, in the future if you have children and its your anniverasy, your children may want to toast with you !!
I also like the keep one of each part!
