Had baby shower yesterday…”bad” gift question?

Why don’t you give it to charity? If you can’t use it I’m sure that someone who can’t afford it would be extremely happy with it. Plus you would get a slight tax cut for the donation.
Honestly, your husband needs to talk to his friend and simply explain that the piece of furniture was REALLY appreciated and that you, unfortunately, can’t fit it into your apartment. He should explain that you both really liked it but that there is simply no room for it.
Let the men settle this since it is THEIR friendship that is tied up in all of this. I don’t think the crazy woman’s boyfriend (your husbands friend) will get upset if he understands that it is simply TOO LARGE for your living space.
Offer to give it back to them….with no worries about a gift receipt. They gave you other gifts, too, and the most important thing here is making sure their friendship isn’t affected (versus exchanging the furniture).
Worse case scenerio….put it on Craigslist.
Good luck….
