birthday gift ideas pregnant friend image
Hannah S
I am only 7 weeks pregnant and can't stop thinking about the baby shower! I know it is obviously too soon to create one - I want to at least know the sex of the baby.
So I'm just wondering, at around which week did you create your baby registry?
Answer
At the risk of ofending everyone here, I didn't and have no intention of doing it - I think it is a horrible gift grab. In fact, I had to finally snap on the obnoxious Sears registry lady who seemed totally offended I was not going to register, especially there! I told her my husband and I can afford everything we need and would prefer if people would just buy some diapers and formula and take that to the food bank - that shut her up! My husband and I are older and financially stable and I hate the idea of registering, giving people the impression they need to buy us something. I have purposely bought everything we need in an attempt to avoid the whole shower thing - so far it's worked! Obviously that is not the case for everyone, especially young couples just starting out. I have always bought baby gifts for friends and coworkers because I wanted to, not becuase of what was dictated to me by a registry. The registry thing is totally getting out of hand - birthdays, christenings, having their first poop, it's ridiculous. That's is just my opinion though. Congrats on your pregnancy!

What should I buy my pregnant friend for her birthday?
Q. It's my friend's Birthday this week, she'll be 25. She's due in less than a month. Should I get something for her? her new baby girl? Both? I not really sure... I need some gift ideas!
Thanks
Thanks
Answer
I think that you should get something for her. I think that she would appreciate someone focusing on just her. Good luck!
