?å?ådå ???? I C?m? asked:
My boyfriend’s friend and his wife are expecting their third child. They already have two boys ages three and one. I thought since they are being so kind to let me stay with them and my boyfriend for three weeks, I’d get them something for Christmas.

I don’t know the gender of the baby, so would a gender neutral baby gift be appropriate for their Christmas gift?
I have no idea what that will be. Suggestions are appreciated!
Yeah it should be appropriate. I got a few things when I was pregnant with my son for christmas and I didn;t have him til June
Of course! I’d be terrible to give them something feminine when it turns out to be a boy!
Oh, I guess you mean to get them “a baby gift?”
Yes, I’m sure the parents would love it. What woman DOESN’T like getting baby things(especially a pregnant woman)? Plus, I’m sure it will be very useful to them as well.
I’d be interested to know what you were getting them(not that it matters too much I guess).
ETA: clothes, bottles, pacifiers, blankets, booties, rattles, teddy bears, bibs, new born mittens, onesies(sp?), etc. What all I suggested in my other answer. I wasn’t sure if you knew what a diaper cake was. I didn’t ever see one myself until about a year ago. It’s a shame you couldn’t bring that.
Or, you could get something little for the 2 little kids? Something distinctly American and/or of the state you’re living in. Maybe a Christmas ornament - “for the ….. Family” or “Merry Christmas from Montana” or wherever it is you’re from. Just an idea…
Yes, that’s be appropriate as christmas gift.
But I think you can get some other gift for they third child, like toys or baby cloth, or sweater for the three year old.
You can get more christmas gift here
Yes of course!!
