I would keep the blanket…The person who bought you the blanket obviously has the money and wanted to show you how much she cares for you and your baby. (In my humble opinion, it is far too much to spend on a blanket.)
I feel that, if you take the blanket to the store, get the money and go and buy things that you actually need, you might suffer later. The person might come to visit you and your baby and make an inquiry as to whether or not the baby "likes" the blanket -or- will want to see the baby "in" the blanket. I can only imagine your embarrassment when you "come clean" and say that you returned the blanket, got the $$ and bought other things…If it were me…I’m be pissed…(not that I would ever spend $650.00 on a blanket!)

thats crazy!! i mean i’d be scared to use it on a baby!! lol
Arriana says
thats crazy i wouldnt use it until she came around lol
Mom2be says
DANG!! That’s an expensive blanket. Yes, I think it’s too much to spend on a blanket. I would be afraid to use it because the baby might spit up on it.

I think that 650 is a lot to spend on a blanket . . . but my little giraffe blankets are my favorite and, they are pricey enough that I wouldn’t have bought them for myself.
If I were you, I would graciously accept the gift, use it, love it, and have it professionally cleaned after your babies to save it as a gift for your grandchildren.
Amanda says
I would return it and get $650 of things you will really need, like diapers, and wipes, and things that you NEED.

Some people like to give flashy gifts. If it is a nice blanket that you think you’ll need, hang onto it to be polite and to get your $650 use out of it. If you don’t think you’ll use it, $650 is a nice amount of money to have to spend on your new baby! You can get a lot more for the money that way!
Amanda W says
That is quite the price tag! You should use it for show, like a decoration on the crib or wall. That is too worthy for use with baby although our kids are the world to us.

I agree with you, $650 is waaaay to expensive for a blanket…I don’t care who desinged it, and neither will the baby! If she wanted to spend that much money, it would have been wiser to buy you a piece of furniture for the nursery or set up a savings bond for the child. I am guessing that she is either ridiculously rich and just doesnt know what to do with all of her money…or more realistically, she has no children of her own and has a lot of fun money to throw around.
Andrea H says
Wow! I can’t imagine buying something like that knowing a baby will probably spit up on! I agree with you. I would be happy with something from Target or Wal-Mart.
I would want to frame that blanket instead of using it! LOL

Your friend must think very highly of you. Granted it is very expensive, but I would take it as a compliment. Not many people can say they have a Chanel baby blanket. You could always use it as decoration and then give it to your baby when he/she grows up.
Who knows, maybe it will appreciate in value if kept in good condition. Then you could sell it for a college fund, lord knows what that will cost in 18 years.

Am sorry but you sound ungrateful, take the blanket and enjoy it…if thats what she wanted to give you from her heart then by all means enjoy it, no one twisted her arm and made her buy it. She must really like you to give you something so expensive, dont be like that and dont break your head about it…
L.L. says
that is a lot…but a nice gesture.
maybe you could use it as a decoration somehow in the nursery, rather than have the baby mess it up.
lori c says
Why dont you accept the gift but keep it in tact. You never know, it may be worth something someday. I would keep it, give it to your baby when he has children, so that they can pass it down to thier children and so on. You could make it sort of a tradition. Nice gift though. Good luck.
txcuttie09 says
yep thats expensive. but just think about it, for some people thats just how they show that they express themselves. so just thank her and move on. hopefully since it was that expensive it will last a really long time…who knows your baby could pick that blanket as "its" favorite blanket!!! : )
