I found these at the store today:

Savvy Etiquette

My child received duplicate gifts. Can I ask other parents for the receipts so I can exchange them?

Not really. Practical parents may include a gift receipt with the package. If you know the person well you may be able to discuss it without offending her, but it's better to err on the side of politeness. Many stores will accept a return for store credit without a receipt, so try that first. But if that doesn't work, stash it on the shelf for a spare in case the first one breaks or to give at another child's birthday.

WHAT, you can do that? The short answer is, yes. Remember once a gift is given, it's yours to do what you want. That being said, I always stick a post-it note on the duplicate gift of who gave it. Because, even though it is your gift now, you don't want to give it back to the same family who gave it to you...oops.

Remember, if you do exchange a present without the gift-giver's knowledge, be sure your child mentions the original gift in the thank-you note.
