He says that he does not have enough room to store them. Says that he does not want his new daughter to see him as less of a provider than Grandma and Grandpa. My wife loves to listen to people for clues as to what they would need or like and then tries to full fill those wishes. My take on it is the giver can give anything and everything they choose as long as it it not illegal or inappropriate like pornography, or a box of chocolates to a diabetic, or a box of cigars to someone trying to quit smoking. I beleive the receiver should graciously accept the gift with expressed appreciation. At that time the receiver can do anything with the gift they choose. They can return it to the merchant for a refund or exchange, can throw it away, can regift it, can hide it or store it, can use it, or what every they choose with no ramifications. Am I off base here.
