I’m not great with gift-giving; I tend to mull over the ‘perfect gift’ for far too long. My friend and her husband recently moved into their new home, and she just found out she’s expecting her second child. We’re out of state, so my husband and I wanted to send them something, but we’re not sure what. I realize personalized gifts are the way to go, and that you all don’t know them, but any general ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Gift certificates, big ones are the most fun. If they are handy, maybe Home Depot. Or if not, maybe Bed, Bath and Beyond. Think of the things they might for the home and use that as a guide. Gift certificates are good, because they can satisfy their needs in their own style and taste.
it’s my friends baby’s 1st birthday in a week or so and I want to get her a Personalized gift (like a rocking horse with her name carved into it etc.)
Anybody know shops that do personalized toys?
please and thanks
She might be too young, but dolls are always good. You can personalize these with hair color, & they come with different clothes sets…

A good friend of my will be having a baby soon.. I don’t want to get her clothes because i know everyone else is going to be giving her clothes.
Does any mommies have a unique idea i can do?
I was planning on buying a medium size basket like a laundry basket like this:

and i was planning to buy wipes and baby things such as nail clippers and thermometer, bottles (she said she will be needing bottles) bottle brush etc. and baby books!
Is this a good idea?
or i wanted to get her diapers with a personalized blanket with the baby name?
i think that is a really cute idea. you can buy the basket and then put the diapers, wipes, nail clippers, thermometer, bottles, and bottle brush in it. thats a really good idea and your friend would be very appreciative of it.
suggestions:
bibs, binkeys, crib sheets, recieving blankets, wash cloths, a baby towl with a hood, baby lotion, baby soap, or baby sunscreen.
hopes this helps!!!:)
My friend is having a Christening party for her 7 month old daughter this weekend. My husband and I are bringing a gift (outfit for baby and a personalized frame with baby’s name on it). We want to include a card so they know who the gift is from. Who should the card be for, the parents or the baby?
I know the gift is for the baby, but since she (obviously) doesn’t read, should the card be addressed to the parents - congratulating them on their baby’s Christening?

Ok, i will be finalizing my adoption of a foster child that i have been caring for since may of 2009. My experience with NJ DYFS has been a great one, and i would like to show my gratitude to the social workers who have helped me by giving them a nice gift. I was planning on giving them a personalize portfolio or something of that nature (you know something that would be put to use) i just didn’t know what to have it personalized with… i want something that sounds nice- something to let them know how appreciative i am for having them place such an awesome baby boy with me.
ps- i am open to other ideas it does not have to be a portfolio- it can be anything good.
also the personalizing website only allows 40 characters (that’s including the space between words)
DYFS workers are not permitted to accept gifts of value. A nice picture frame with a photo of your new son would be appropriate, as long as the gift is less than, say, $20, they should be able to accept it. A letter to their supervisor commending their work would be greatly appreciated. Send them a copy and a copy to the office manager. Congratulation on your adoption!
Is there anywhere I can go
I don’t think that is the best gift for a baby… But anyway go here

i have a friend, i met her through our husbands who work together and i have only known her for a couple months. what i do know about her is she is 23, used to model, she has a 3 year old and has another baby on the way. she has no apparent hobbies, too busy with the 3 year old.
She likes to shop, but i don’t have much money.
i just need an idea for an easter gift. we have one for her husband but not her. we already have a baby shower gift for her and want to get her something for her that she will enjoy. i don’t want something cheesy or cheap, or personalized. any ideas or tips would be much appreciated!
A MUG is always fun and welcome! And there are SO many available to choose from in so many different
Have a polite day.
A personalized piggy bank with his name on it filled with some dollar gold coins to start OR just the personalized piggy bank with one coin (for good luck) and a book or two?
How about both? I would personally go with the books.

If she doesn’t have much time for herself, you could offer to babysit and give her either a night out for herself or a date night for her and her husband while you watch her kid. If you aren’t comfortable with watching her kid, give her a gift basket of lotions, nail polish, body scrub, etc. Whatever you can think of so she can pamper herself for once. If you can swing 20 dollars, you could get a gift card to a salon or day spa — 30 would be better but 20 would be sufficient, especially for a casual type acquaintance/colleague.
