I love board games Maz! Can never have too many. Do you have hungry hungry hippo? That was my fave. Closely followed by guess who. Is that classed as a board game? hmm maybe i'll get Lu a board game for chrissy. Good idea Maz~ Thanks.

Anyway....... back to the point.


Absolutely 100 % ok to donate unwanted gifts to charity, or pass on to someone you know who would need or use them. Or if possible, i'd exchange it for something the kids did need. Maybe when it's coming up to a birthday you could mention that the kids need new books, crayons, or you could tell your MIL and she could let the family know.

I would rather someone told me they didn't need something. I wouldn't be at all offended, especially if they are family. I also would not mind if someone passed on a gift they couldn't use.
