Cook voucher and some nice toiletries. Just blows my mind someone would buy all that baby stuff so early on, she won’t use half of it! We barely bought anything, i was too paranoid.

Patterned muslins from Etta loves. The patterns are good for cognitive development and endlessly useful.

I agree!

Well yes it was obvious from your posts that you are judging her a bit for buying so much.

She's probably just excited about having her first baby, it's totally normal.

The most generous thing you could do is to be supportive and not judgy about anything.

I agree.

I also don't see what is wrong with what she has bought, all seems fairly standard to me.

I would buy a lovely shawl or picnic blanket and a jellycat keepsake for baby.
