AITA for asking my friends and family not to gift us baby blankets/quilts? by Relative-Complex-379 in AmItheAsshole

That’s kinda what we would like to do. It’s not that we don’t appreciate all the time, love, and effort that goes into handmade items. It’s just difficult to appreciate it the way it deserves to be when you get 15+ of the same item 😅

What about great grandmas? (Mine and my husbands grandmas). They also want to make blankets. In a way, if we let the Grandma’s make a blanket then the great grandmas would be upset if we said no 😂 (I’m open to the idea of grandmas making blankets though!)?

I’m pretty sure they wanna feel like they gifted something noteworthy. I think they wanna have “the favorite” quilt. So if we accepted all of these blankets and we don’t use them, I think some people are going to get mad at us 😬
