What would you bring?

TeacherTiff · January 2012

One of my bf's just had a baby (her first) last Tuesday. I'm going over at some point this week and am not sure what to bring. Normally, I would bring a home-cooked meal and offer to do something while I'm there. However, given my current circumstance and the fact that I am not cooking or cleaning at my own house (haha), I'm at a loss.

FWIW, her husband is also on leave for 6 weeks and they have a ton of friends/family in the area that I'm sure are taking good care of them.

So, June '08, what would YOU bring?

I would bring a dessert. We got lots of pasta dishes from family, but something sweet sounds really good.

Gift card for some pizza?

Pick up some fruit, cheese, crackers, bread. Fresh yummy easy to eat quick foods. Maybe some dessert too (cupcakes!). Or just a GC to a good take out / delivery place.

These were my thoughts exactly. Maybe even some sort of a fruit salad type thing? Something that would be easy for them to eat whenever they wanted & little work for you if you can find something mostly premade/precut at the store?

Me too! I got an edible arrangement and I lived off that thing the first couple days. The little snacky stuff was perfect when he was cluster feeding in the evenings!

Thank you ladies!!

I'm a little late to the game, but when Julia was born someone brought us some breakfast stuff which was great. Several people brought us dinners and I could easily eat the leftovers for lunch, but I didn't have much for breakfast. Things like muffins, bagels, cream cheese, etc. were a lifesaver for me. I'm sure whatever you bring they will appreciate!

I like the breakfast idea or I would suggest some cookies...

Someone brought me a snack basket and I loved it! Just mini bags of pretzels, m&ms, candy bars, chips, and maybe some fruit? It was great being able to have snacks for us and company. I know I've seen candy bouquets at Kroger before. Or if you wanted to hand pick special snacks it would still be easy and fairly cheap to throw together.

I think I'm going to do a combo of this and breakfast. I remember never feeling like I had time to really sit down and eat so things like this would be great on-the-go!

Thanks ladies!
