What To Do If Someone Gave You A Bunch of Baby Items
My mom's friend's daughter dropped off a whole bunch of baby stuff yesterday!
All of the items are immaculate, clean and they look like they haven't even been used.
I can't thank this person enough. Do you think I should send her something, like a gift certificate or something? I feel guilty just taking this stuff, although she made it clear that she's done with these things and it was a relief to get it out of her house.
The items include a Graco Swing, a FP Bouncer, a FP Soothing Motions Glider, a Baby Bjorn carrier, a bobby pillow, 2 activity mats, a FP Aquarium Soother and a couple of other things.
I already left her a message thanking her 100 times for all of these things, but I think I should do something more. What do you ladies think?

Wow - that's a good bunch of great stuff! I would def. send a gift card with a thank you - but you probably don't need to go overboard.
Maybe $50 to a spa or restaurant?

I would send a cookie basket. I love getting those things. They are thoughtful and edible. A perfect combination.

How about a gift basket from Stew Leneords or something. Baskets are nice. Or popcorn factory - that''s what I've done a couple of times.
That is very very nice.

Re: What To Do If Someone Gave You A Bunch of Baby Items
That is so nice. One of my GF's had been given a lot of things like that from another friend as well and she sent her a Gift Certificate for a massage thanking her. or you can do a nice thank you with a basket of something, dinner or flowers...

Re: What To Do If Someone Gave You A Bunch of Baby Items
Great ideas guys!
I was thinking a restaurant gift certificate and/or flowers, but now I'm liking the cookie basket!!! COOKIES!!!!
Hopefully, I can return the favor to someone else someday!
Preguntas - you are way too funny. Do they even let you keep the afterbirth? That would be something to put up on the mantle, eh?

PLacenta is high in nutrients. There is a certain hair care treatment that is made with horse placenta.
I wonder what you could get for it on th eblack market...
Cookies are nice- or an edible arrangement. Or edible panties.

You could bronze it and put it in the baby's room . . . you know, instead of the generic bronzed shoe.
