I have been invited to a baby shower and been sent a Mamas and papas wish list to buy off for the baby shower. I was in mama and papas today and heard a member of staff encouraging a couple to have a list and send it out to family and friends.

is this the norm now?

I was planning on rocking up with a few well thought out gifts but wondering if I should buy off the ‘list’ instead.

In the UK baby showers are not normal and regarded as rather vulgar.

Just buy a card and a little gift.
