I adore my Vista. What a wonderful gesture, I agree a nice thank you card and a small bunch of flowers would be perfect. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-was-given-an-uppa-baby-vista#post-183311 Fri, 08 Jun 2012 12:50:04 +0000 joyjoy 183311@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What an awesome gift! I agree with others that a nice card and maybe some flowers would be appropriate. I think a cute pic of LO in the stroller later would be really sweet, too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-was-given-an-uppa-baby-vista#post-183255 Fri, 08 Jun 2012 12:09:10 +0000 dc yoga bee 183255@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I always want to get people a little gift card to a restaurant when they do something like that for me (i.e my wedding shower hosts I gave one a $25 gift certificate to Red Lobster/Olive Garden/Outback).Like a here have a nice lunch or meal out on me kind of thing, with a nice card with a special message inside. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-was-given-an-uppa-baby-vista#post-183229 Fri, 08 Jun 2012 11:56:56 +0000 Rescuemom10 183229@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Heck yeah that is awesome!. Yeah I would say a thank you card and maybe a plant for her office. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-was-given-an-uppa-baby-vista#post-183181 Fri, 08 Jun 2012 11:32:18 +0000 Alivoo01 183181@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wow!!! That's awesome!! I agree a nice thank you note with flowers and a picture later on is perfect! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-was-given-an-uppa-baby-vista#post-183175 Fri, 08 Jun 2012 11:29:36 +0000 Mrs. Stroller 183175@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Awesome! I think just a nice thank you note is enough. Send her a photo of LO in the stroller later on too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-was-given-an-uppa-baby-vista#post-183170 Fri, 08 Jun 2012 11:27:46 +0000 MsLipGloss 183170@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think a thank you note is perfect.</p> <p>@TheHistoryofUs: That's a great idea! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-was-given-an-uppa-baby-vista#post-182978 Fri, 08 Jun 2012 09:06:30 +0000 mrs. wagon 182978@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@chrispygal: cool! Yeah, still a lot for a stroller...!!! :) But we love ours so much, it's totally worth it, especially if it will work as a double stroller for us as well. We'll see in a couple of months...!!! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-was-given-an-uppa-baby-vista#post-182965 Fri, 08 Jun 2012 09:00:18 +0000 chrispygal 182965@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What a great idea with flowers! I knew I could count on you ladies to steer me in the right direction!</p> <p>@mrs. wagon: my co-worker got hers at the Hingham factory! It was still pricey but much cheaper than the store. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-was-given-an-uppa-baby-vista#post-182958 Fri, 08 Jun 2012 08:54:34 +0000 heffalump 182958@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That's awesome! I would just write a thank you note. I'm sure she wasn't expecting anything in return. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-was-given-an-uppa-baby-vista#post-182932 Fri, 08 Jun 2012 08:42:40 +0000 sandy 182932@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love our vista too! So easy to fold and the extra large basket is so convenient.</p> <p>I would send a note and flowers. My husband's coworker gave us all of her baby's clothes and I had flowers delivered to her office and she loved it </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-was-given-an-uppa-baby-vista#post-182921 Fri, 08 Jun 2012 08:36:18 +0000 mrs. wagon 182921@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>yayyyyy so exciting!!! We love our Vista!!!</p> <p>I would send a small bouquet of flowers and a nice thank you, explaining that it was such a generous gift and you want to show your appreciation. Any kind of "gift" back would be kinda awkward but flowers are always nice. </p> <p>Also, for those who are pining for Vistas, if you or someone close to you lives in the MA area, I would highly suggest going to the factory in Hingham, MA! They always have factory seconds and refurbished strollers for much much cheaper. And since their customer service is so amazing you don't have to worry about lesser quality-- any time anything goes wrong they will fix it, no questions asked! They are AWESOME!! You just have to call 24 hours in advance and ask what colors they have, and reserve the one you want!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-was-given-an-uppa-baby-vista#post-182915 Fri, 08 Jun 2012 08:30:16 +0000 Tidybee 182915@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You lucky girl!! I'm pining for the Uppa Vista but may be "conservative" and go for the Britax. I would definitely send some kind of gift like a Harry and David's gift basket or flowers would be nice. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-was-given-an-uppa-baby-vista#post-182905 Fri, 08 Jun 2012 08:16:01 +0000 T.H.O.U. 182905@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I agree, a really nice thank you card would be appropriate. I know when I have wanted to send a "special thanks" for some gifts, I have made sure to send a picture of my daughter using/wearing the gift letting them know its getting great use! I think sometimes that has been more special than even a nice thank you card! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-was-given-an-uppa-baby-vista#post-182896 Fri, 08 Jun 2012 08:10:13 +0000 mrs. bird 182896@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wow! What an awesome gift! I'd say a nice note and some flowers or if you bake you could make her something. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-was-given-an-uppa-baby-vista#post-182877 Fri, 08 Jun 2012 07:52:39 +0000 Rubies 182877@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That is extremely generous! Wow, you're so lucky! I would send flowers or something with a nice note. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-was-given-an-uppa-baby-vista#post-182875 Fri, 08 Jun 2012 07:50:23 +0000 SleepyMonkey 182875@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That is so generous and you are so lucky! I think a thank you card maybe attached to a little thing of flowers or a plant is a great idea. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-was-given-an-uppa-baby-vista#post-182872 Fri, 08 Jun 2012 07:49:35 +0000 HLK208 182872@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That's awesome!! I would say a thought out thank you card and a small bouquet of flowers would be nice in return! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-was-given-an-uppa-baby-vista#post-182866 Fri, 08 Jun 2012 07:43:39 +0000 littlek 182866@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wow, that's very nice! I think a nice thank you card would be enough. She's probably not expecting you to get her something. But maybe in the future when you go to an event at her house, I'd bring a nice bottle of wine. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-was-given-an-uppa-baby-vista#post-182862 Fri, 08 Jun 2012 07:37:03 +0000 mediagirl 182862@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think a very nice thank you note and maybe bring her a bouquet of flowers in a vase for her office. Or a plant for her office. Either way, note plus a small thank you gift would be perfect. A gc might be a little odd since it's like you're giving her money back for the gift, you know? That's my opinion, anyways. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-was-given-an-uppa-baby-vista#post-182861 Fri, 08 Jun 2012 07:36:54 +0000 chopsuey 182861@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wow! So generous! I'm sure she doesn't expect anything in return.. A heartfelt thank you card should be enough! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-was-given-an-uppa-baby-vista#post-182860 Fri, 08 Jun 2012 07:34:08 +0000 chrispygal 182860@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am sooooo excited! My boss's boss was in last week and we were chatting about strollers. We ordered the Britax B-Agile because we liked it, but we also didn't want to spend $600+ on a stroller. We drooled over other strollers but went practical. We are not overly practical people in general (haha) but in this case we were very conservative and paid $185 for our stroller. And we love it! But when she offered us her Uppa Baby Vista, that her son used for maybe a year, I quickly said "sure!" I was a little unsure if it was an empty gesture or not, but sure enough she just came in with the stroller in tow, including the bassinet that was never even used by her son. OMG this stroller is the bomb! I am so grateful and cannot believe someone would just give away a $600 stroller. She also gave us a nice Pottery Bark Kids blanket and stuffed animal. Again, I am just so touched by all this.</p> <p>Obviously a very nice thank you card is in order, but if this were you, would you give a gift certificate or some kind of item as a thank you for the stroller? Again, she's my boss's boss so I'm not sure what's appropriate. Your thoughts on this would be helpful. </p>
