Present for new dad-to-be (adopter)

[TheSMOne]

I have a friend (male, gay, single) who will shortly be adopting a child. I am super excited for them as it has been a long road to reach this point.

He's going to be an amazing dad and i have never seen anyone so good with children. I would like to give them a gift of a kind of cheque book where they can cash them in with me if/when they have a less than idyllic day for things like 'a homemade batch of brownies' or 'a trip to a different park' or a 'movie of your choice with popcorn'.

Does that sound stupid? I wanted it to be thoughtful... any ideas of things I could include in it? Any thoughts would be very welcome!

Thank you 😁

The matching aprons sound lovely when we adopted it was lovely just to get the normal new child presents like photo frames, soft toy, toiletries. At that age paint and arts and craft supplies is always a good one in a nice box. We also received a "baby" book which is for the first year of adoption so the parents and lo can document their firsts together.

This is the book www.amazon.co.uk/dp/0811857379/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_oHksFb18YN5FQ?tag=mumsnetforu03-21

Thanks @zigzagbetty for the adoption book suggestion - i will certainly take a look 😊
