What are some things you do NOT want to receive as a gift for your child (inspired by JennZ's "Please Be Honest" thread)
JennZ's post about no "characters" got me thinking (esp after I read Goldie's comments about not wanting to receive Sailor Suits for her DD, which I strongly agree on).
So it got me thinking, what are some things you HOPE that NO ONE will ever give your child b/c you hate it, find it not cute, etc? A just for fun thread! 
ETA - Remember, it's a just for fun thread. We are just chatting about what you would prefer to receive/not receive in the ideal world. So let's please keep this thread going in the spirit of fun.

Nothing with words written on the butt of her clothing. I do not want anyone reading my daughter's butt and thinking "Juicy." A child isn't juicy. I like when children are dressed like children and not like mini -adults.

As Goldie and I agreed on below in Jenn's thread, NO SAILOR SUITS. That's my first and foremost.

I don't want anything that cannot be used or played with. My BIL is a collector of everything......toys, comic books, etc. (YES - he is a total dork!!  ) He loves to buy gifts BUT he has a tendency to give things that are meant to not be used but admired and collected. My DH and I are not collectors so if it can't be used for the baby or played with by the baby then we don't want it. It's going to be interesting dealing with him.

Oh I totally agree on this. It's a bit risque for a child IMO.

No characters...puppies are cute, Winnie the Pooh is not.
No sailor suits or train engineer outfits
No overalls....I really don't like them.
No stuffed animals or blankets...

I agree wholeheartedly with this.. I have an 8yr old and the clothing they make for children is just horrid. I don't need to give any pervert/pedophile a reason to look at my little girls hiney.. i hate clothing with words on the butt.

I don't like characters or sailor suits either.
I also don't want any matching outfits.

I can understand this.
My mom also thinks this is cute. My cousins had babies at the same time and she would buy them the same outfits. I made sure to tell her, "You think that is cute, but they don't. Their babies aren't even twins and yet you still do this. FYI, many people with twins don't even like this."
Turns out my SIL is due a few mths after me and I made sure to tell my mother "Don't go buying us the same outfits either if we both have the same sex children. NOT CUTE."

if I have a girl, NOTHING that says like "sexy" "hot to trot" or anything like that. I HATE little baby clothes that a designed to look like juniors. JMO
Oh, and I would love to put a limit on the amount of sports stuff (ie Red Sox, Yankee) from my friends and family. Yes my DH will love it, but Mommy won't. A couple of things, fine, but not a whole closet full

I thought of another one. I don't mind small discreet bows, headbands or barrettes, but those huge flowers on the tops of little girls' heads make me nuts. I don't want her to look like she has a bouquet on her head.

I hate character things!!!! I don't want anything that has a big elmo on it. I don't like baby boy clothes with things all over it - trucks, dogs, etc.
No stuffed animals.
