Gift for neighbour I don't really know?

[Milany]

Sorry. Me again.

My neighbour has posted on FB about struggling a bit with her MH. She's pregnant and her midwife knows and is supporting her.

I don't know her really. We've chatted a bit but are basically FB friends.

I'd like to just get her a little something to cheer her up (I know depression isn't solved by smiling).

Any suggestions for a small gift that isn't over stepping or won't be too awkward to hand over (or more likely, post and run away!)? I have a feeling she has some sort of food allergy so a box of chocs is out. Something for her, not the baby.

I nice candle?

An invitation to go for a walk or come over/go out for coffee and chat might be worth so much more than a gift? You don't know her very well but you know her enough to be facebook friends. Giver her an hour for a neighbourly chat.

Don't post and run away, that's pointless. If you can't offer a chat, then it might be best to do nothing. I'd just message her on FB that you are there if she needs to talk, rather than give a physical gift.

A bunch of daffodils. Cheap and cheerful, and she won’t feel indebted to you or awkward that you spent too much.

Flowers? When my neighbours had a death in the family, I got them a basket of flowers.

Sorry. Should have said she has manic cat who is a climber and jumps so candles are out.

I'm not very good socially with people I don't know. So although an invite for tea or a chat is probably a much nicer or more useful gift, it would be really awkward and I'd find it very stressful. I think she already has lots of friends too.

Yes, or a potted primrose.

(I definitely wouldn't have wanted a candle when I was pregnant)

Thanks everyone. I've decided not to.

I mentioned it to my husband who thought it was weird and that giving a stranger flowers is inappropriate and toomuch like an Impulse advert.

Then I saw she'd taken down her FB post so I guess she decided she didn't want to talk about it afterall and I felt like I would be intruding on a private matter.

Little pot of flowers would be lovely, could just leave it there to say you're thinking of her and best wishes for pregnancy
