Giving dummies as part of a newborn present?

[pjsgalore]

I'm going to see my new niece for the first time this weekend - and have made her up a package of lovely things - some pretty, some useful.

Anyway, I happen to have some spare newborn dummies left over from ages ago (still in packaging) as both of mine used dummies. My sister-in-law (we get on very well) strikes me as someone who may not like dummies, but I was wondering if I should take them down anyway for her to put in her cupboard in case she decides to try. Or do you think it seems kind of pushy or somehow encouraging her into a habit she may not want - or something!!? Otherwise may just chuck them out! Or take to charity shop

I didn't use dummies, if you had tried to give me one then I would have thrown my glass of wine over you and stormed out of the house.

...Actually I would have just said thanks and then donated them.

Well.... I decided to leave them in, and my SIL seemed thrilled with them and everything else - she said she already had a pack to try if she needed them - but they were from 6 months - so she needed some newborn ones! So I guess she wasn't someone who was massively anti-dummies after all that! Good point re: age - I will get her to check the expiry date. Thanks all!!
