Is this family member the original "secret" poster?
That's great drama!
drama i don't have time for, nor am i going to create a fake name about it when i know the other person frequents LIF. I guess she thinks i'm THAT stupid.
Life's too short for this b.s. If she wants to hold on to this, go for it.
I actually thought it was slightly funny when i found out after i asked her, but now i'm just hurt. Clearly she doesn't want to own up to it, so be it.
This is petty. I'm done. You should have just talked to me about it as an adult instead of putting it on a public forum for me to see.
WHOA!
Personally if a family member asked I wouldn't think it was rude. If a casual friend asked I would find it odd bc I would never do that.
Either way posting it here knowing the person posts here is rudest of all...grow up!

Spinoff... to is it rude post...
As someone who is constantly getting duplicates I find it kinda annoying when someone doesn't give me a gift receipt with a gift.
It's such a waste of money when I can't return something or get back full cost because they only give you the lowest price on a returns without receipts. It's already so much effort just for me to pack up my girls and schlep them to the store by myself and deal with a return.
I don't think it is rude at all to ask for a receipt especially if it's a duplicate or similar to something my girls already have. Last year for christmas I got 5 sets of the same fleece carter outfit. I didn't get a chance to return them and there was no receipt for them anyway. I ended up just passing them along to another twin mama.
I would never be insulted if someone decided to return a gift I gave. I would want my money to go to good use more than anything.

a gift is a gesture, not an expectation IMO. If you got a duplicate gift, I think it's rude to call and ask for a receipt because it seems ungrateful. I get random stuff all the time from people who think I would like something or something is really useful. I say thank you, and either regift or donate. It's not the end of the world.

Re: Spinoff... to is it rude post...
We have a small family.
If it was my parents, I would definitely ask for a receipt. They come to our house often and would not feel offended. It is only natural to want to return/exchange a duplicate gift.

As the gift giver, I rather the parent return the duplicate and get their a DC a toy they would actually enjoy instead of just throwing it in the trash or leaving it in the basement somewhere!
ITA. I'd have no problem with that but then again, I'd just return the item to a store that sold that item without the receipt and just get store credit.

Re: Spinoff... to is it rude post...
I have done this before, I don't know if this makes me rude then... recently a friend of mine gave DS an outfit that was too small for him (yes he is 6 months but definitely out of 6 months clothing right now!). She did not include a gift receipt. I tried returning it at first to various stores myself, but had no luck. Finally I just casually asked her where she had gotten it, since I wanted him to wear it but it doesn't fit, so I'd want to get it in another size. She told me, but I hope she wasn't PO'd or anything.. I always give a gift receipt when i give a gift, just in case!

I think that if you were like "Oh, I love this but he needs a larger size! Do you mind letting me know where you got it so I can get him a different size" That wouldn't be off putting. I guess it's all in the delivery also, bc I could see not getting offended by someone calling and saying "Thank you so much for the gift but we actually already have one, would you mind if I exchange it?" vs just calling and asking for the receipt

If someone asked me (family or not) I personally wouldn't think its rude.
I would only ask certain family members- one that I am very close with who would understand- my grandma, my parents, etc. I don't think its rude, but it would be an uncomfortable question to ask. I'd feel bad about it.

Re: Spinoff... to is it rude post...
I don't understand why it would be rude. Of course it depends on how you ask for the receipt.

Whoa!!!!
Posting family drama (which, in this case, it shouldn't even be!!) on public forums is just disgusting to me. I've been through it & it is horrible to see someone you love post nasty things about you out there for the online community to see, even if they did not use your name. So passive-aggressive. Sucks that you had to see that but good for you, standing up for yourself.
And no, I didn't think the receipt thing was a big deal in the first place, especially now knowing it was about a family member. Even if you didn't thank her out your rear end when you asked for it...you're family, & I'd imagine a family member especially would be happy to give it to you, as they'd want the kid to be happy!!

Re: Spinoff... to is it rude post...
Ali you know I am going to be on your side about this  but I also understand people siding with the "other" OP because of how she worded the request for the receipt. Like, no thank you, just give me the receipt.
Which we all know NOW is bull
ETA: I am clearly misunderstanding something here but my answer still stands. Not rude at all as long as they thanked you for the gift.

but what if the gift you give you don't have a receipt for? My son received a few of the same awesome toy story buzz lightyear car...I gave one to a friend of his who was having his 4th bday party. I didn't have the receipt but took a gamble that he didn't have the toy. And he didn't..but even still, i don't think it's rude to give a gift without a receipt! Its helpful if you have one, but not rude in my opinion to not include one. A gift is a gift!

I always forget to get a gift receipt! I wish that cashiers asked more often. I would ask, but I never have.
