New baby gifts - acceptable costs?
Everybody has wedding present lists these days, made up of the items that the couple want along with where to buy them. Usually ranging in the £40-£250 area (or at least on wedding lists I’ve seen for recent weddings my family’s been invited to).
Question is what’s acceptable to pay for a new baby present? Should it all be £10 baby booties and £20 towels and blanket sets in pretty pastels? Or is that just being cheap. Like buying a toaster for newly weds?
The reason that I ask is that, as regular readers will be aware, my best friend’s girlfriend is expecting their first child in February. Obviously I want to get them a really cool gift that will aid them aswell as be functional for the baby, but don’t want to just head to TK Maxx for a basket full of white babygrows and socks with teddybears on them for £14.99.
Britax Carseat
Browsing the internet I came across the Britax minisite for carseats. Granted at the moment my best mate doesn’t drive but he’s going to have to learn pretty damn soon! I don’t mind shelling out a little extra for a good quality present for the baby and parents if I know it’ll make their life a little easier. And I don’t want to be the person to give them yet another ‘cute’ collection of baby bibs and dummys.
