My sister-in-law is having a shower for her new baby, I would like to give her my sons radio flyer wagon overflowing with baby goodies. The thing is that the wagon was very expensive and sentimental to us, (its one of the big wooden ones that I got for my son's shower 15 years ago) and we would like it back when her child is done with it. So the question is, how do I present this at her shower while letting her know that when they are through we would like it back. Is that rude? Should I just go with a different gift?

i agree with the first response - or DO NOT give the wagon at the shower - but offer beforehand to LEND it to her if she feels that it will be useful - that way she should know that it is NOT a gift.
you give gifts without the expectation of having them given back to you

you should just go with a different gift, no one takes back present after giving them and if you really want to lend her the thing, perhaps you should not give it to them as a present but instead see if they need it and lend it to them and also by telling them that the thing has quite a lot of sentimental values i think they'll catch the meaning... :D

just use bathtub and that is it. if you do this it could be gone the wagon. some people tend to forget and then gone. so i wouldn't give it up
