I’m thinking about making up gift baskets and selling them. How much would you spend for a friends/family members baby shower gift? The gift basket would have about 10 products. Would this be something you would buy as a gift?

30-40$

My boyfriend’s friend and his wife are expecting their third child. They already have two boys ages three and one. I thought since they are being so kind to let me stay with them and my boyfriend for three weeks, I’d get them something for Christmas.

I don’t know the gender of the baby, so would a gender neutral baby gift be appropriate for their Christmas gift?

Totally fine.

A friend of ours is having a baby in October. But her husband is a pastor in a small town, so the congregation is giving her all kinds of baby gifts….cribs, clothes, stroller, etc. She and her husband are also only children and this is their first child (so, first grandchild for both sides of the family). She isn’t registered anywhere, but we want to get her a nice gift.

What would be a good gift for them?

size 2 or 3 diapers you can make a diaper cake with them so it will look like a nice gift. bigger diapers are always a plus b/c when people normally buy diapers, they buy newborn or size 1, and they run out so quick!

My sister in law in having a c-section today.It was not planned.I would like to get her something that she may need in the hospital or shortly after?I have already given a baby gift but want to bring something just fir her. Any ideas?Thanks in advance :)
You could put together a little bag or basket for her of some nice little things for her durring her recovery.

She will be told to take it easy for a week or two after the surgery, so you could get her a good book, or some magazines if shes into celeb gossip, some nice smelling lotions, maybe a nice candle, and a couple of her favorite snack things - like a little box of cookies or cupcakes from a bakery etc.

Just some little things that are for HER - to help relax and pass some time :)

Im due tomorrow with a baby boy - our first - and I would love if someone brought me a little package like this to the hospital :)

I was invited to a baby shower for someone who I only know indirectly. My boyfriend works with the father of the baby, and I feel that I was invited because the mother felt obligated. I am unable to attend the shower. Am I still obligated to give them a gift? I plan to give them something when the baby is born. Should I give a shower gift and nothing when the baby is born? Or am I simply obligated to give both a shower gift and a new baby gift? HELP!

If you don’t go to the shower, you don’t have to give a gift. You are being very polite about this whole thing. It’s not like you’re completely snubbing them or anything. Give a gift when the baby is born. Hope I helped :-)

A friend wants to send me a baby gift, but we’re not *that* good of friends and I’m not comfortable giving her my address. I was going to recommend she send a gift through my registry…. would she see my address if she used my registry?

No, most sites are really good about not giving that info out. But maybe you can try logging onto the website you are registered at as a guest and try to make an order to see if your address pops up? like a dry run?

I want to give my wife something Special That is just for her. She has got over a 150 baby gifts the last 3 months and its time for her to get a Gift From Daddy And New Born Son! I want to stress that i only want gift ideas that has to do with her. This is her special Day. I LOVE LOVE my baby boy but i want this gift to be just for her. Ok i guess you got it.

Give her a pandora charm bracelet. (Google it if you haven’t heard of it, and lots of jewelry stores sell them). They’re quality and have tons of charms to commemorate different events or interests. You can add to it over the course of your lifetimes on special occasions. I suggest starting out with the baby carriage charm to commemorate the birth of your new son! Congratulations! :)

My cousin wants to get me gift for my baby shower, but the thing is I haven’t seen her in 20 years. I couldn’t invite her to my baby shower because she lives in a whole different state. When I got adopted I lost contact with real family. Since I have been on facebook, I have been reconnecting with them. I don’t want to give my cousin my address to send me gift. What do you think?

If you feel like keeping those people out of your life completely then all means do not contact her at all. Delete her from your friends list on face book and when she messages you just delete the messages she’ll eventually get the hint. Its all up to how you feel about the situation. Are you worried that this person might come and try to visit you and end up being an awkward situation if so then don’t give said cousin your address.

My sister had a baby. Her baby is now 6 mths old. (She is here visiting from Europe). I need to get her a baby gift and was wondering how much to spend on her baby. As well, I need some ideas on what to give as a gift. The baby has a ton of clothes and toys already. Thanks.

Does she need diapers? Get a size larger than what she’s in. Ask if she needs bottles? Wash clothes, baby soaps, powder, lotion, bath towels with the hood on them. Socks, coats, blankets.

You don’t have to spend a lot. Diapers aren’t cheap. Spend less than $20 or $30 bucks. She should appreciate anything.

She’s due in three weeks, and we’re having an in class baby shower/party for her. Do you think it would be inappropriate to give her a gift? What do you suggest?

Not at all! Thats very sweet. I get birthday gifts from my students every year (even though most are handmade collages or cookies or cakes, they still mean a lot to me). When I was pregnant a few years ago my students actually gave me a TON of gifts! Half of my kids wardrobe was from them lol. A cute little baby outfit is always nice, or some little toys. Nothing to expensive
