Registry Question/Vent

Registry Question/Vent

i don't want come off sounding unappreciative because i am of anything that anyone decides to purchase off of my registry but i just checked and someone purchased a set of cookware that i didn't register for??...so i spoke to my mother and she confirmed that yes this person didn't like the set that i picked out and thought that it looked 'cheap' meanwhile it was $100 more then the one this person purchased...now the question, is it rude to return the item afterwards and purchase the set that i picked out for a reason and want? my mother said this happens all of the time and it's fine to return it but in a way i would feel bad if this person found out...

Re: Registry Question/Vent

wow, some nerve to say that it was cheap. I mean it is something that you liked. Don't feel bad, I would return it for the item that I wanted. Thats the whole point of the registry...You can wait to see if you like it then decide. But now someone might be be ordered the cookware thats on your registry, do you plan on removing it?

Re: Registry Question/Vent

wow, i can't believe someone would do that. though i'm sure it's not the first time! i guess you should see if you like it first. if you do great, otherwise I would return it for the one you want.

Re: Registry Question/Vent

There is nothing wrong with returning the gift after the fact and buying what you originally wanted. I wouldn't remove your set from the registry - someone might decide to purchase it for you and you can return the other set for something else you wanted but didn't get. Just thank the person for their gift and leave it at all. No one has to know you returned it for something else. Your mom is right - this happens all the time.

Re: Registry Question/Vent

I really think it's rude for someone to do that. This isn't about what she likes, it's about what you like. I say go and return it!

Re: Registry Question/Vent

i agree with everyone else! i don't see anything wrong with returning it. There was obviously a reason you picked the other one. I think she was rude to buy you one that you didn't want.

Re: Registry Question/Vent

see the one she picked out and if you like the one you picked out better then return it.... theres nothing wrong with getting what you want..

Re: Registry Question/Vent

i wouldnt feel bad returning it. You're the one who will use it. I'm sure you'll change ur mind about alot of things u registered for later on that u might end up exchanging

Re: Registry Question/Vent

wow thats so rude for her to say that...if you don't like it...i say definately return it! you have a right to have what you wanted...I just don't understand that..you have a registry for a reason..why disregard it?!?!

Re: Registry Question/Vent

thanks ladies for all of the advice! i guess i'll remove the one that i picked out just to make sure no one purchases it my mother said once i see who purchased it i'll understand

Re: Registry Question/Vent

i think you should return the set they gave you. They didn't care that they called your taste cheap so you shouldn't feel bad about getting the set you registered for. I work at Williams-Sonoma and I see all the time people come in and say I'm not getting her that and I try to be like well she doesn't want that one. It's a lost cause. At the end of the day I guess just say thank you and exchange it if you hate it. My mom actually did this too....she got me a waffle maker that I didn't register for. I actually like it better so I ended up keeping it but I was like Mom this is the point of a registry. My bridesmaids are trying to teach her all about registries...it's actually kinda funny.

Re: Registry Question/Vent

Return it.... i'd keep the other set on the registry anyway.
