Duplicate items

We got a duplicate gift at my shower. My mom and my one of bridesmaids got us the same coffee maker so because we opened gifts in front of everyone at the shower they knew we got the same thing. Neither of them bought it from the store that we registered for it at so it wasn't marked off the registry as purchased. My mom said she could use a new coffee maker so kept the one she gave us and she bought us an instant pot. I told her she didn't need to buy us something different, but she insisted. My husband's aunt also got us the wrong set of plates so we exchanged them and paid the difference as the right plates were more expensive. I would probably return it and get something else that you registered for.

I definitely think its not in bad etiquette to return the duplicate item. I mean what's the alternative...you have two of something and the second one just goes to waste anyway.

I think that's totally fine! Sometimes duplicates just happen!!

Yes, definitely!
