Gift idea for friends

Amber, on May 27, 2021 at 3:50 AM Posted in Community Conversations 0 7

The question about gifts for girlfriends has been asked here, but I'm curious about something else. I will only have 3 friends, one of them is expecting a baby, two of them also want to start a family in the future. I was picking out gifts for them, and I really liked these albums www.top-mom.com/best-baby-memory-book/. We used to make similar ones when we were kids, like a friends album. I like that you can decorate them yourself.

    I think it would be fine for the one already pregnant, but I wouldn't give it to someone who isn't yet. My husband and I struggled to get pregnant for a year so something like that would have upset me when we were trying.

    I agree with Veronica. As someone who has/is also struggling to start my family, receiving a baby book before I was even pregnant would invoke sad feelings instead of excited one.

    Do not give someone this gift who does not have a live physical child outside of her body by the time of your wedding. I think the sentiment is lovely and that your friends would appreciate it when they actually have children - so please save it for that!

    I wouldn't do a baby book for people who aren't at least very close to giving birth (like at a baby shower). We found out after we started trying that we were unlikely to get pregnant on our own because I suffer from PCOS (which we also didn't discover until after we started trying). If someone gave me a baby book, I would melt into a little puddle - it's bad enough if people ask about it.

    Agree with the masses, not appropriate for a wedding related gift, but they are super cute— I’d bookmark the idea and give it as a baby shower gift !

    Agree with all previous posts! My fiancé and I want to start a family after our wedding but I have fertility issues. Getting a baby book would make me incredibly disappointed and sad.

    Here to agree with everyone else. Not appropriate for non pregnant friends.
