Okay, covering a lot of ground here. I know some of this was mentioned before, but I'm thinking it was before the boards changed over and I tried searching without luck (I know that didn't carry over).
Last baby I didn't care so much for the OB, but this time I really feel like my OB has gone above and beyond and I would like to get her a little gift, but I have no idea what to get. Do I just get a giftcard? Flowers? I really don't even know what she likes or I would get her a coffee giftcard...any thoughts or great ideas?
We are also looking to get gifts for our parents for staying with DS while we were in the hospital and really doing lots around the house while we were gone! I know they don't expect anything and keep telling us they're happy to help (and visit with the grandkids), but we'd like to do something. In the past we've given them Omaha steaks, but MIL has strongly hinted that they don't really BBQ anymore, so although they liked those before, probably not the best idea now. My parents are coming too, but not for a couple of weeks, but I know they're planning to cook and I would guess my Dad will get bored and want to do lots of projects around the house too, so we'd like to get them something too.
And, DS turns three in June, so we lose all of his (some daily) therapists! Do we give them the same kind of gift we gave at the holidays (GCs to Target for the most part)? Unfortunately, I really don't know a lot about them because I would like to cater the card more toward what they like (coffee, restaurant, etc.) or perhaps a toy store where they buy things for the kids anyway?
Thanks for any help! Sorry I put so many questions in one post. I figured they were all related to gifts though.
