i have been invited to a dol.
there will be good food.
am I expected to bring the baby a present?
what is the customary thing to do?



Answer
its funny that you say theres good food. lol
its a celebration for the first birthday of a child.
wether there is good food or not if you want to share the good occasino you should go.
usually if you are close to the baby's parent you'd buy a gold ring
some people give cash in envelops...
if your young and you dont work then its okay not to buy anything.
but just keep in mind that one day you'd have a child and if your a korean you might have a don jan chi and you might invite as many people you want, if you give a nice gift, you probably get something of the same value back. wink wink

Gift ideas for mom traveling with kids?

I have a friend who is traveling overseas with her 3 kids and I would like to get her a going away gift. Any ideas as to what I should get her?
Thanks in advance.



Answer
I traveled to Korea once with my 1 year old to see a military friend. The flight was soooo long. We had a lay-over in OKC for 3 hours and then we hopped on Korean Air. That ride lasted another 17 hours (give or take). So my advice is to make her a customized gift bag (a small bag - due to carry on rules) just from you. You could include a travel pillow for her (and because she can get pillows on the plane she can even use this 5.99 pillow for one of the kids just in case they sleep with their necks drooped), sani wipes for the kids (these are about 9 bucks for 150 or more wipes) - these are essential - especially going overseas and even more so with the various viruses going around now, some aspirin for her, depending the age of the kids-teething tablets or baby bliss gripe water (hyland's tablets are the best because they calm the tummy and soothe teething pain), plenty of snacks (ie goldfish crackers), little welch's 100% apple juce bottles, the little bottles of bottled water (especially bottled water for going overseas), 3 small boxes of 5 crayons (you can buy these at any dollar store) 3 huge coloring books (I say the huge ones because the younger the child the more pages they color and the more new pages they want to color - keeps their mind off how long the flight is). Be careful not to include to many items because with 3 kids she's already going to have carry on luggage. And let me tell ya, getting kids and carry on thru checkpoints now-a-days is a mother's greatest feat. LOL (smile). I hope this helps you out some. And notice that I didn't include anything sharp or any thing that would violate faa policy. When getting gifts for airplane trips be careful to visit the airline's website to see what can be taken on board the plane and what can be carried as cargo underneath.
