to buy a second hand but brand new gift for friend who had a baby recently?

[EverythingsRosie]

I was thinking of this

It is brand new, yes?

So will look like a quite expensive gift for a bargain price?

Am I being an arse?

not at all, i am expecting baby no 5, our first girl and one of my friends has been trawling the charity shops for me and bought me some bits as presents,i am not bothered at all :)

there is no way she could tell this is sec ond hand, unless she is the seller. i think its lovely.

still pricey tbh. i doubt the baby will care. v. cute.

That's a lovely present, yanbu.

Still expensive! Very nice gift.

I sent a friend a new baby layette gift set when she had her last baby, was only £1 reduced from £18 in M&S at the end of the clearence sale. Nothing wrong with getting a bargin!

i found those daisy root shoes abit like pears. you wait and wait for the feet to fit them and then one day their feet are too big

I ALWAYS buy new babies these daisy roots. They are gorgeous, and the as i refused to put shoes on ds until she walked, the only thing that stay on. I'd be thrilled and how would your friend ever know?

pears?

Like pears are too hard and then all of a sudden they're all mushy

Well at least I think thats waht cereal meant loopyloops

pears aren't ripe, you wait and wait and suddenly they're slushy

(I assume that's what cereal means) :)

ooooh, I was thinking pear shoes???

Oh and OP no YANBU = they are gorgeous

They are new, why does it matter where you get them?

Yay

I will buy then, I think.

Thanks guys.

yanbu at all. That's a lovely gift.

Only thing I would be careful of is that sometimes ebay stuff can arrive with the box slighly battered from the post... Have had this a couple of times and it makes me a bit loath to them give as a present as it doesn't quite look immaculate IYKWIM?

Only thing to worry about is if the box will get damaged in the post..
