PinkCow Posted March 20, 2009 Report Share Posted March 20, 2009 Yes I mean YOU so please helppp!!!!! :) Because I love you..Anyways, ehem.... My question to the class is: "When is too late to send a baby gift?"Okay so, my Grandma's sister's son's wife had a baby. A few months ago. My sister and I wanted to get the baby something nice, so we pickedclothes..... We got these cute little outfitsnfrom Old Navy. (Seriosuly, if they made them in MY size, I'd totally wear them)So I'm not to sure when the baby was born, Feburary maybe........ Oh and I have to mail the clothes. So I'm going to try and get everything ready this weekend ie: box, paper etc. But should I still send the gift, or is it too late?????

WillowTheWhisp Posted March 20, 2009 Report Share Posted March 20, 2009 If the baby hasn't outgrown the clothes it is never too late. Mums I know always appreciate baby gifts but do bear in mind that babies grow very quickly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GingerGolden Posted March 20, 2009 Report Share Posted March 20, 2009 Well, February was only a few weeks ago, so yeah, I'd say send it on to the baby. It should be able to wear 0-3 months clothing now and 3-6 month clothing later on. Actually, it seems most of the time that babies are way smaller than their clothes are when they are newborn (or at least mine were although I carried them both for 10 months rather than 9.)Yeah, send it on!If you are worried about them being to small for the baby, then if you can pick out a cute stuffed animal, kids never outgrow those...

Elgama Posted March 20, 2009 Report Share Posted March 20, 2009 i would send it its always appreciated. As a Mum I always by the bigger sizes for someone because everyone does 0-3 . -Charley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GingerGolden Posted March 20, 2009 Report Share Posted March 20, 2009 (edited) Yep, Elgama's right about the size thing.Also, I remember while mine were little, even though they had cute clothes and I would put them on them so that they wore all their new things, that for the most part, my babies wore the little long nightgowns and the onesies a great deal of the time. * I just love those little night gowns, they are so sweet.Coolest thing about those gowns is that no matter what gender the baby is (and especially if the gender is a surprise or you don't know...), if you are buying for others or even your own baby, that you can't go wrong with getting those that are white, green, blue or yellow, since either boys or girls can wear those colors. The gowns with prints are also cute! Edited March 20, 2009 by GingerGolden Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Alana Posted March 20, 2009 Report Share Posted March 20, 2009 Send away! Baby clothes are nice no matter when. I've received things a year after the birth, and that was fine with me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RachelleDrew Posted March 20, 2009 Report Share Posted March 20, 2009 Oh send them! Even if they don't fit anymore, Old Navy will do returns and exchanges for different sizes. I'm sure it will be appreciated no matter when you send it. My son is almost a year, and he's still getting gifts intended for his homecoming from the hospital.

Elgama Posted March 20, 2009 Report Share Posted March 20, 2009 oh and I always include the receipt - so if they don't like it or it doesn't fit they can take it back and do it their way lol -Charley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wingnut Posted March 20, 2009 Report Share Posted March 20, 2009 My baby is almost eleven months old, and I just received a gift for her this week from someone. It's never too late to send. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elgama Posted March 20, 2009 Report Share Posted March 20, 2009 My baby is almost eleven months old, and I just received a gift for her this week from someone. It's never too late to send.that reminds me of one poor sister who spent nearly a year forgetting to give me a gift lol but when she gave me the gift it turned out to be perfect. I had a day which had been miserable no way to get to the shops, my son had what I now know was impetigo on his bottom, and was teething and I had run out of calpol (baby tylenol), her gift contained some fantastic cream, a very gentle soap and teething powders, I was able to feel less useless and use it to make my son more comfortable. I will always be greatful for her late gift, she was so embarrased about it I hope I have made sure she feels better-Charley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goes to show that even when gifts are late, there are mother's who do appreciate the thought and gesture as well as gifts that are good, useful and welcome.

jolee65 Posted March 21, 2009 Report Share Posted March 21, 2009 I dont think its ever to later, if you just found out or just got the extra money finally then send it just make sure of the size. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
