New Wedding Band Set.

I want to ask my husband for a new wedding band set, but I know he won't really care to get one for me. Context: Been married for nearly 6 years (August of this year will make it six), had our vow renewal in 2022 after we reconciled, and we are expecting our second child in September. I wanted to get my original ...

10 Year Wedding Anniversary Gifts

What did you do for yours? What's recommended? At this stage, my husband and I thought we would go on an elaborate trip or he previously mentioned upgrading my ring. However, neither are realistic lol in fact, the only alone time we can even pull off is a dinner out. SO... he asked about gifts yesterday, mentioned ...

Ideas needed!

I need ideas on how to say thank you to my neighbor/friend for watching my 1yo for an hour here and there. She won’t accept money because she says it’s fun for her and her daughters love having the baby around. I don’t want it to come off as I’m taking advantage but I don’t know what the right way to thank her is.

Blue light card question

I feel this is really silly.. But I've got blue light card. It seems to be mainly you need to pay for a voucher first and then spend it in the shop. But I don't know what I'm going to spend in the shop.. So I get a very small discount on a certain amount and have to pay full price for the rest if I go over. Is thi...

How much are you spending?

How much have you spent / you going to be spending on your little one’s second birthday? Don’t know if I’ve gone overboard or not want to compare. We have 16 items, 2 relatively ‘big’ presents

What's an appropriate gift from child to ex partner?

We as parents don't speak, but kids wish to buy him a gift (with my money of course). His not stepping up IMO sees his kids once per month, consistently pays child support (£50per child each month 🙄) He don't deserve NADA but I will do it for the kids.

Small flat, toy organisation

Ladies tell me how it is are you overflowing with toys in a small flat too? How do you cope, organising, downsizing, donating, throwing out old unused or shabby things. I was raised to treasure every tiny thing and to never get rid of things and that getting rid of a gift was the biggest offence possible to do to a ...

Is this a nice birthday present for my mom?

I normally get her flowers delivered but I'm going to be with her for the first time in like 17 years on her actual birthday. (It's on Saturday). I have the same bracelet. I'm flying on Friday so stuff has to fit in my personal item.

How much would you pay for sets?

Okay so I was thinking of selling crochet sets. Like toy sets, food sets, etc. how many toys/foods would you like to see in a “set” 2, 4, 6, 10+? How much would you pay for that set? Like for mini stuffies, would you do 4 for 40? Or for foods, would you do 4 for 65? What would you do as a mom?

What do you say when you pretty much have everything you need, but people still want to give/buy you baby stuff?

Kiddo is due late next month, and we have a few people that have asked us if we still need things and want to sent us things. All I can think of is asking them to contribute to a college fund😵‍💫, but that feels a little crass asking for money.
