Gift for Sandy & Einin

Hi girls -

 I'm all for doing a gift other than flowers, but have no idea how to coordinate a fingerprint necklace.  If you have any ideas on how to do it (without requesting any effort from NJSwimmer since she's surely got her hands full), I'd love to hear it.  I don't think we should do food, just because that would be assuming that her family/friends aren't already taking care of this and we'd have to make assumptions about what she likes.  Most of the food I received went to waste or I didn't have the room for it.

Any other ideas?  Obviously, the gift is the gesture, doesn't need to be practical, and flowers are easy.

 Let me know your thoughts.

Re: Gift for Sandy & Einin

  • I agree with you on food, unless we wanna do something like an edible arrangement. It's pretty like flowers but it's fruit =) But I like the flowers idea too. I have no idea how to coordinate a keepsake either since I've never gotten one done before. I think they also have flowers with teddy bears packages too if we wanted to also get something that wouldn't just be gone in a week (whether by wilting or by eating)? That's all I can think of for now (I'm not really a creative person). Thanks for coordinating this!

  • Or maybe a gift card for a restaurant?  That way they can use it when it's convenient for them?  And have some time for themselves? 

    I'm in, btw.  I don't think I replied to the other post.

  • If the idea is to get something useful/needed, restaurant gift cards and gas cards are always needed by NICU moms and dads, due to all the travelling required back and forth to the hospital (gas is expensive and it doesn't leave a lot of time or energy for cooking).
  • Good point on the delivered meals; now that I think about it, whenever I've sent that it's to someone I know well (so I know their tastes and level of support -- or lack thereof -- from others).

    In any event, I'm still in for whatever we decide to give.

  • I'm only just now catching up on posts (I didn't get online yesterday and EVERYTHING happened lol) and I just have to say that the girls on this board are awesome! I'm totally in. Smile

    Question though, to clarify - is this for Sandy (njswimmer, who just gave birth to William) or Legalosaur (who just had Einin as a preemie)? I was assuming Legalosaur based on other posts, but her name isn't Sandy. Smile

    Yes  That's what I figured - I just thought I'd better make sure before I started throwing out suggestions lol.
