Just a little pet peeve of mine. I couldn’t stand receiving baby gifts that had no thought put into them. By baby gifts with no thought put into them I’m referring to the gifts we’d receive that woud be an outfit clearly for the other gender, or a totally inappropriately aged toy, or worse still, a can of formula. The formula was a big peeve because everyone knew I planned on breastfeeding. The formula, minus its “just in case!” note, went to a local women’s shelter.

It’s so easy to pick out some nice, thoughtful baby gifts if you just put a bit of time into it. Find out what the mother-to-be is having, or if she’s unsure or you can’t, go for unisex items (white, yellow, peach, light green). Find out what she really wants to have. If it’s a more expensive item, see about chipping in with others to cover the cost without breaking your budget.
