We are Italian and we have two kitchens in our house so I just told people that one would go upstairs and the other downstairs.

I GOT 2 DYSONS!!!!!! That was awkward

I'm gonna be the person who says not to act like you didn't notice? ***... people will think you're a moron/spaz-face.

Thank them. They're probably like 'derrrr' that they are the giver of a duplicate gift. 'Thanks' just as appreciative of the first-giver...then move on.

UGH I am DREADING opening gifts in front of people. My face is SO easy to read and I am a HORRIBLE actress.

I guess I'll just pretend like I didn't open one already. That seems the best route to go.

Although how hard is it to read a registry and see that something has been purchased already??? Unless two people are shopping for the same thing at the same exact time I have no idea how that happens.

I guess I would rather duplicates though than something purchased not from the registry, My cousin got a lighthouse clock at her shower. WT F is she supposed to do with that???

My cousin just had her shower this past weekend and she responded to the dupes pretty much the same way she responded to the originals. She was nice about it which is weird b/c she's a sarcastic chick. She's was very good tho.



I did the same thing.
