    anybody know anything about baby showers?

    i was invited to one and given an amazon registry. i saw a fraggle rock (which i love) book on it and thought an anniversary edition boxed set of the DVDs would be way cooler so i got that instead. now i'm thinking i may have fucked up some kind of custom and don't wanna look like a one-upping asshole if someone shows up with just the book.

    and am i supposed to gift wrap it?

    are these gifts supposed to be anonymous?

    i've no idea what i'm doing.
