STIS: One of my clients is having a baby on Monday and we're friendly enough that I want to get her a gift of some sort besides a card. Info inside.

Posted by Krusty (aka Krustylu) May 7 '15, 13:46

This is her first baby but she had a serious problem the last time was pregnant and lost it. She already has everything for a baby since it was already purchased last time. So I'm trying to think of something that new mom would want that isn't so much for the baby as much as it is for her. Keep in mind, I walk dogs for a living so keep the cost down if possible. :-)

Truthfully the best thing you could do is offer to babysit a night a couple of months from now so she can go out. - spamlet May 7, 13:55 5
