Sooo actually the opposite of this group lmao

I'd stay away from decorative stuff since a lot of parents plan out their baby's "theme" and go a little nuts with it when planning the nursery lol. But it's okay to buy off the list they give as long as it's practical. If it's diapers, don't buy for newborns, buy a size or two up since they're probably stocked with newborn diapers. But clothes are always acceptable. And we usually give things like thisbecause it's so useful (occupies their mouth and hands) and has so many designs/animals it's likely nobody has gotten them that exact one

Not rude at all! Diapers and wipes and personal gifts from friends are very sweet and thoughtful. No one should expect you to drop all your money on their baby.
