Mum admits she chucked £320 baby shower gift in bin - and regrets asking for it

When given an expensive gift, especially one that you had asked for, you wouldn't think you'd be throwing it in the bin anytime soon. However, one mum has confessed she did just that with a present her sister-in-law kindly purchased for her baby shower, which cost a whopping £320 ($549 AUD).

The parent, known only as Leanne, has even gone as far as to say that she regrets asking for the gift before getting rid of it and the whole situation left her feeling "sick".

Speaking to Kidspot, Leanne told how she'd been given a Beaba Milkeo automatic bottle maker and had spent time researching different machines before selecting that one as a gift ahead of giving birth. She thought the high price was reassuring, however she claims she soon encountered some difficulties with it after welcoming twins.
