Gift givers have the option of choosing a trendy style or opting with a conservative design that stays in style year after year. Although Wisconsinites tend to be more casual in dress they do like to be trendy in style. That holds true for both girls and boys. Grandmothers tend to lean toward the conservative end of the children's clothing spectrum whereas aunts, uncles and other family members prefer more trendy fashions. Exchanging or returning children's clothing isn't as difficult as it may seem.
Return policies vary from store to store so inquire about the policy prior to purchasing the gift.
Gift giving etiquette suggests that price tags and receipts be removed prior to giving the gift. But many stores require proof that the merchandise was purchased at their store. Some stores now offer a gift receipt that verifies where the gift was purchased, but does not state the purchase amount. If a gift receipt is not available, remove tags from the clothing and place along with the receipt in a sealed envelope and give it to the parents in the event the merchandise needs to be returned. Many stores require that merchandise be returned within a specific time period, but Mikich points out that most store owners will go out of their way to help.
