3rd baby present

[movingonsaturday]

What would you like to receive as a present upon the birth of your 3rd baby? Struggling for present ideas, £40 limit

Honestly? Something to make my life with the other children easier! Depending on how close you are with them - a meal service voucher? A one off house clean? Things that don’t cost money either - saying you will babysit the other two children on X day for X amount of time!

Considered meal voucher but not sure £40 will get us much, on cook.com for example. It's out next door neighbours, we have looked after their cat while they were on holiday and we chat at the front door very occasionally, so not that close

Takeaway voucher

Or a voucher for somewhere such as Next

Small presents for older kids. Something personalised for the new baby maybe? Some nice baby smellies from Neil's yard or similar?

40 quid is very generous for next door neighbours! (Or am I tight maybe!)

Could you cook the family some meals and drop them off at dinner time for a couple of days after the baby is born? Only works if you’re close by but so valuable.

Failing that clothes? Something nice that won’t be a hand me down!

I'm pregnant with my 3rd and honestly we don't have any clothes - hand me downs are all a bit shabby looking so I'm sure a nice outfit wouldn't go amiss 🙈
The best present I ever received after my 2nd was a roast chicken veg and potatoes my friend left on my doorstep. I genuinely cried 😂😂😂

A present for the baby is lovely, something like an outfit. I found that when I had my second a lot of people didn’t get her presents like they did my 1st and the lack of acknowledgement was really sad as it felt like she wasn’t as important to them as my first had been.
