A first birthday can be hard to buy for…

Do you go with a toy? Maybe some clothes? Or is it safer to ask mum or dad what the child needs?

Well if you’re related to one little tyke, there’s no fear you’ll ever be at a loss. Thanks to a letter his parents sent out with a list of approved toys, and instructions on how to handle receipts.

No, we’re not kidding.

In the letter, the parents ask relatives to “restrict themselves to giving the baby just two presents per household”, with items listed including a water table, play tunnel, play tent and a specific book.

While some might appreciate the tip off, the letter goes on to include some pretty vital instructions… if they need to return gifts that weren’t included on the list.

Relatives were asked to include the receipt, “When we return items without receipts we only get about 50% of the value, so it’s like throwing away money if you don’t include receipts with the gifts”.

Or you could just say thank you to someone for buying your child a gift.

Just an idea…
