Is is okay to donate gifts received in a kid's birthday party?

My daughter received a lot of gifts in her 1st birthday party. She is just one and I don't think she needs so many gifts. She enjoys playing with her Mom and Dad more than playing with any of the toys she has. And she already has quite a few toys. So, I was thinking of donating it so that some other kids who cannot afford to buy toys can have them. My only concern is if it is okay to donate gifts given by others.

Answer:
That's a great Idea. Just don't let the givers know.
I like my daughter to have one favorite toy at a time instead of a pile to deal with.
So long as theyre unopened i dont see why not.

Although remember she's going to change and develop lot in the next year, and she'll want and need more different kinds of interaction and stimulation for learning and devloping, and those toys might provide that.
That is a great idea. Helping the less fortunate, especially children, is a great thing to do for the holiday's.
That's really a great idea! My parents do that to. Why do we have to waste something that we don't use which could mean a lot to others?

Gifts comes from the heart and it's not the price or the buying that matters. Your gift could bring a joy to someone's face and that's priceless!
that is a good idea!
That is an AWESOME idea, I know that every year my children get more toys than they now how to play with on Christmas so I stack them all in a closet and every month bring a couple of them out and they love it versus getting them all at once and never playing with them again the rest of the year!

I have received clothes, toys, shoes, etc. that my children didn't have need for at the time and I saved them for later, only for them to have outgrown them so then I give them to someone else who can use it.

Just don't let the giver know, and if they ask be honest.
Great idea! I do that with my kids, I give to our CHurch or the salvation army.
Sure. Especially this time of year - donating them is a way to help those who can not afford xmas gifts....I just wouldn't let the gift givers know about it. Some may love the idea and some may hate the idea.
I'm on the fence about this question. I don't think I would be very happy to know that a gift I shopped for specifically for a certain child was given away. Did you have a party? People will brings gifts to a party and you should have expected that. If you didnt want any, you should have requested "no gifts" on the invitation.
I'd be pissed if I found out someone had "donated" my gift that I spent time and effort picking out. I always put a lot of thought into gifts and choose them specifically for that person, no matter how young they are.

I would rather a parent just request donations be given in lieu of presents if they're uncomfortable with their child having so much. Your intentions are good, but overall it's a pretty tacky thing to do.
ABSOLUTELY! What a great idea to pass along what your child cannot use to someone who may not be so fortunate. Way to go!
