Mothering Many

What is your preferred gift at baby showers? To give or to receive, LOL! I once knew a lady who always purchased something for the mother instead of the baby, and I thought that was neat! For awhile, my standard gift to new moms was a soaker and a dozen prefolds. Now that I don’t knit professionally anymore, I am more prone to just buy unique baby gifts, and be done with it. Well, done with it except for the second guessing that I always do until the new mom opens it.

It’s hard isn’t it, picking the perfect present? So spill your best ever gifts given and received! I’ll go first.

The best present I ever got was for my first baby from my uncle. He bought a car seat for her, and I was really glad, because he has always been a stickler for auto safety, and so I knew if he’d bought a car seat, he’d done his research first, and it was a good one.
