Would You Give A fly fishing trip in alaska for a baby shower instead of the usual baby skin care product
No joke, this is actually what I gave my friend for their baby shower. Personally, I feel that a Alaska Fly Fishing would provide some respite from the months of preparing for the baby and is also a good getaway for the couple to bond together.
Growing as a family is what matters, anyway, they would probably get many Baby Skin Care products. So, a short fishing in Alaska would do the couple more good and let them get used to each other to prepare for their parenthood ahead of them.
Of course, this is not to say that if you are not going to give baby skin care product, than you can bring any gifts for a baby shower. It is after all, an occasions that celebrate a new birth, so the gift has to be meaningful.
I guess, the bottom line in giving a gift is to bring a smile to whoever is getting it, so as long as your intention is to spread cheers, then by all means, give anything that would achieve that!
I know that inflation is at all time high, and people are trying to cut cost as best as they could, but giving a “free gift” to people on their baby shower, is really “cheap”. Doing this, not only cheapen yourself, it also hurts the other person to learn how important they are to you.
My sister got a coffee maker as one of her baby shower’s gift.And if it those Best Rated Coffee Makers where people would pay hundreds because if brews good coffee, it is actually quite meaningful.
People give one of those best coffee makers, as it is both cheeky and fun to imply that the couple would need coffee to keep them awake for this new bundle of joy. Coffee machine would make an interesting gift.
However, when you saw that the gift is a gevalia coffee maker, those that you get if free when you buy the coffee, you are sad at the person at being so inconsiderate for an occasion that is so meaningful.
All this being said, giving gift should be from the heart and must be something you know would give the recipient an experience. If you are short on cash, make something for the person, even if it is just a card, the thought of making the card is so much more than giving the person a free gift and at times, something that is totally not appropriate…
