Hi,

Just looking for ideas on a nice gift or something to get for them?
They also have a son the same age (10months) and have kindly offered to watch ours for the day! This is so great as we trust them and our families are further away (and we don't trust them!)

Would really like to get them something nice but not sure what?!
Any ideas appreciated as they are doing us a big favour!

Thank youuuu

A voucher for a meal and the offer to mind their LO when they use it? Hopefully they'll be sensible and not want to use it as soon as you're home from the hospital!

@JustHavinABreak haha! I'd hope not! They have loads of family and friends who watch their LO regularly so aren't short of babysitters. I'm also not sure how I'd manage tbh as my son is 10months old and I'd have a newborn 😅 but i do still offer anyway!

Voucher for a meal sounds good, and I'd know they'd use it!

Bunch of flowers will be fine. I've looked after quite a few little ones whilst their siblings are born and I've never expected anything....you have enough to think about with a new baby.
