To ask Mums of December babies…

My niece was born last year just before Christmas & I’m starting to think about birthday & Christmas presents.

I was thinking of getting her a toy for her birthday present & then vouchers for a local soft play she likes for Christmas but I just wanted to check with mums of children born in December that you would be happy with getting vouchers rather than a present ?

I’ve not always had the easiest relationship with my SIL so I don’t want her to think we’ve not put any thought or effort into the present but equally I’m mindful that DN is going to be given a million toys in the space of less than a week.

They both sound great, I’m sure any present gratefully received for both Xmas and b days!

A soft play voucher would go down well with my Dec baby

I have a December baby and an early January one!
Id be happy. I could save them for Feb when the weather is rubbish

I would just give her what you would give her if her birthday was in June. It’s crap enough having a birthday close to Christmas, as DD does, without people holding back.
