WWYD?
So another mum in our compound had a garage sale recently and offered me some of the stuff that didn't sell, I said hell yes.
Today she turned up with a sleeping bag, hammock swing thing, boppy pillow, playfood and a vsmile (a computer style thing that Otto won't get yet but still fantastic!)
What would you give her in return? I asked her what she would like and she said she would hold onto the favour, but I feel like that isn't enough, I asked her what her vice drink wise is and she said Sangria from one particular restaurant but I can't go and get that for her so I am not sure what to do.
What would you get her for a thank you?
Jakarta, Indonesia.

Re: WWYD?
Is she America (are you? I don't remember)? If so, maybe you could bake her something you can't get easily over there, like brownies or something.
btw - The picture of your son in your siggy looks like the boy in The Sixth Sense (who I thought was adorable...).
Yeh, he does!
Honestly, I'd probably give her nothing other than gratitude.
I am Australian and she is American (Texan). I don't think I have ever baked brownies before but I could try.
I have never had anyone say that Otto looks like the boy is Sixth sense I will have to google him. Randomly right now he is talking as he goes to sleep so who knows if he has the 'sense'!
It would be nice to bake something for her -- maybe cookies, bread, or whatever you like to make.
As far as her "holding onto the favor" my guess is that she never intends to cash that in. I mean, if she ever needs a favor, she's probably a good enough friend/neighbor that she would ask you anyway, whether you technically "owed" her one or not. So I wouldn't worry too much about it:-)
Bio
I like NCV2's idea, a nice time together.
I gave a bunch of M's baby stuff including a maxi cosi, breastfeeding pillow, bjorn and baby bathtub to a friend, I didn't expect anything in return other than a thank you. I doubt your friend thinks that you "owe" her something.
This!
She's probably just happy to see the things she spent good money on put to use. Just last night my friend gave a bunch of her very expensive old bras to my sister because they don't fit anymore. She's sad that she didn't get to wear them very long but glad that she didn't waste the money she spent on them.
Ditto PPs - you don't really owe her anything. But, speaking from personal experience, having something baked specifically for you is a touching gesture!

Being a gracious receiver can be a challenge. I find it so much easier to be the giver!
Agreed!
