Gift-giving for babies can sometimes be controversial.

AITA for buying useful gifts for my boyfriend’s niece even though he thinks they’re “bad”?

I (21F) have been with my boyfriend (22M) for two years now.

His older brother and sister-in-law have a baby girl who’s turning one soon.

We decided to both get her gifts.

This woman got her boyfriend’s niece some diapers and a puffer jacket.

My boyfriend got her a small rainbow xylophone, which is cute and obviously for her to play with.

I bought her a big box of diapers and a little puffer jacket for this winter.

When I showed him, he immediately said those were “bad gifts.”

And that she wouldn’t like them because she can’t play with them.

But her boyfriend insisted that she return them.

I explained that I knew the gifts were more for her parents than her.

But they’re still useful and thoughtful.

He didn’t budge and insisted I should return them.

But like… why?

So, AITA?

Let’s see how others reacted to this story.

This person makes a valid point.

This one makes sense, too.

Lol. Indeed.

Here’s an honest opinion from this user.

Finally, a parent of young children speaks up.

Useful gifts should always be the preference with young kids.

They’re not going to remember any of this!
