New baby gifts

1 reply

My colleague is pregnant with #2. When I had my 2nd they did a collection at work and bought a little outfit for baby, an outfit for sibling (20 months apart) and a Costa voucher for me which I thought was an amazing gift as it considered us all!

For reference I am overthinking neurodivergent so choosing gifts and even cards takes me a lot of thinking and humming and harring and i find it mentally draining.

I did think to buy the same as they got me because I loved it but does that seem lazy that I have done the exact same thing ? Also their 1st child will be 6 when #2 is born , is buying them an outfit the best sibling gift? Would something else be more appropriate?

Any suggestions welcome please :)

Are you organising the collection? If so, then that sounds like a great idea, as you say it's a thoughtful selection. If anyone else in the office has a 6yo you could ask for ideas but an outfit is a safe bet.

If you're just buying from you no need to be so generous :)
