Hello mommas, My baby will turn 1 soon.. and lots of friends are asking for a wish list… I feel like I don’t really need much, what have been your LO favourite present or useful for his age?

Hi ladies - anyone who has started buying stuff or have previous children, where are you buying your stuff from ie Moses basket, pram etc. literally anything! Iv seen some clair de lune Moses baskets for quite cheap but seen a few people saying they aren’t great quality. But I also don’t want to spend a fortune 😂…

What are you ladies getting your LO for their 1st birthday ? I’m clueless x

Hey guys! So I’m due with my little boy in 3 weeks and I have a 23 month old little girl. I’m thinking about buying my little girl “big sister presents” for when the baby arrives so she doesn’t feel left out/ pushed away. Any thoughts/ ideas?

We have all the toys she will need, and know some people will still choose a physical gift. But how can I politely give the option to contribute towards her experiences (the Zoo, our local conservatory, swim pass etc) . TIA ❤️

I don't have kids in school yet (still a baby) but have come across a lot of posts about mums getting their kids teachers gifts. What is that about and is it mandatory? I just feel like a teacher is getting government pay, a good pension, a vast amount of holidays and do they expect gifts on top? What if a family c...

I know it’s still a couple months away but I’ve started to think about buying gifts for my daughters first Christmas & birthday. She is born on the 27th so I am just splitting whatever I get her for both days. I’m planning to only buy her stuff in sales, charity shops or on vinted. Was thinking of getting her clot...

We ended up with similar/duplicate items as gifts. Does anyone know if I return a wish list gift whether I get the money as credit to repurchase something else or whether a refund goes back to the sender? There are some family members who will be offended by a return TIA X

Has anyone had success selling on Etsy? How do you get buyers? I have nice things that I have sold off Etsy but it’s like I’m non existent on that platform. Some people make hundreds-thousands of sales. I can’t even get 1. Is there something I’m missing?

I’m taking my 1 year old to Australia for the first time in September to meet my family. My mum came to visit when he was 4 weeks old and my dad has never met him. I’m wanting to take a little personalised gift to give to my parents from my little boy, a keepsake for them as I already know the goodbyes are going to...

Anyone having any luck selling stuff on vinted and any tips?

What can you get a diabetic teacher as a present? Can you get them chocolates or not? Should I do something they don’t have to eat?

Can anyone recommend an affordable moses basket with a stand?

I’m due at the beginning of November and live on the top floor of a block of flats, I want to get a little present for my neighbours each side and the ones below me to basically let them know that a baby will be here soon (give the gift a few weeks before) and to say thank you for putting up with the noise that will...

If in doubt - definitely get one!!! We got ours for it LG’s birthday but have opened to test it works etc, and it’s just fantastic! Safe to say it’s not being put away and wrapped up 😂 but now we can add other characters to her birthday list! 💃🏻

As she has a 5 year old close in age. I assume she doesn’t want clothes and toys ideally. What would you suggest to bring as a gift? Money or gift card? Or any other suggestions?

my birthday was in may and back then my husband had a alot of work and his excuse for not getting me anything was ‘he’s got alot on his hands when the summer holidays come he’ll get me something nice to make up ‘ so i said yh sure.. its nearly august i have been asking this man like hey remember u promised a birthda...

Anyone else tempted to give their babies their gifts early? Like… they don’t understand what day it really is so like why not? 😂

I made my son this busy board recently (still not all painted) and my partner said he thinks I should make them and sell them but I don’t think anyone would pay what it’s even costed for me to make it (I paid £200 on everything to make it)

What is everyone going to get their little one for their birthday this year?
