 When you're expecting a baby, it's not unusual to hold a baby shower in which your family and other loved ones may chip in to buy you certain items that you'll need when your little one arrives. But one mum-to-be has been left feeling disappointed after her in-laws didn't buy her the gift she wanted for her impending arrival, and instead picked up a cheaper alternative. The woman explained that she recently had a baby shower with a registry of items she wanted, and most people chose a gift from the registry to give to her so they knew she'd use it. When her husband's parents asked what was left on the list, she sent them a link to a playpen that was exactly what she wanted, but they instead used the information to find a different version that was cheaper and didn't have all the features the mum needed. The gift wasn't what she had asked for (stock photo) ( Getty Images) The playpen the woman wanted would have cost her in-laws $125 (£105) but they bought her one for $90 (£76), and she insists the decision wasn't finance-related as they had initially offered to buy her a different gift that would have cost them $200 (£169). In a post on Reddit, she said: "I'm having my first child in a couple of weeks and my in-laws asked what I was missing to buy for the baby. I sent a link to a playpen that I wanted to get for the baby which is $125 (£105), on sale from $180 (£152). "It is the colour I want, with music and vibration features. It has multiple pockets and a big space for nappies, bottles, etc. Plus, it has near-perfect reviews. "Yesterday my sister-in-law showed me the one they got me which is $90 (£76) but in a colour I don't like, with a smaller area to put baby things and no outside pocket. It was like they didn't put in the effort to or){kind=link}
