A gift card to a restaurant or tickets to an event are always thoughtful.</p> <p>Agree with pp that flowers or something from hometown would be nice as well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-gift-should-i-get#post-380952 Tue, 06 Nov 2012 10:12:14 +0000 Sammyfab 380952@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@aprk: I'm not sure! I would love to get them one of our favourite cookbooks or something but I don't know if they'd like it. Would a gift card to a restaurant, book store or meal preparation service be too impersonal?</p> <p>@Thehistoryofus: I think fresh flowers or a nice houseplant would be great but that would require DH to pick something up and I don't think he'd have time. I could arrange for delivery though... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-gift-should-i-get#post-380896 Tue, 06 Nov 2012 09:53:48 +0000 T.H.O.U. 380896@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sometimes just some nice fresh flowers are a nice simple gift. It brightens up a home (even for a short period). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-gift-should-i-get#post-380869 Tue, 06 Nov 2012 09:39:53 +0000 aprk 380869@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Do they have special interests like cooking or movies, etc? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-gift-should-i-get#post-380857 Tue, 06 Nov 2012 09:32:23 +0000 Sammyfab 380857@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@artbee: thanks artbee. They're originally from our area before they moved out west. I can't think of any special foods but I completely agree to avoid baby-related items. I'm racking my brain and I can't come up with anything! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-gift-should-i-get#post-380743 Tue, 06 Nov 2012 08:29:28 +0000 heffalump 380743@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would stay away from baby gifts. Maybe something edible, or is there something good from your local town that you could bring them that's popular? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-gift-should-i-get#post-380728 Tue, 06 Nov 2012 07:52:43 +0000 Sammyfab 380728@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My DH is traveling for work and will be meeting up with friends who are 11-12 weeks pregnant. They sadly lost their baby at birth just over a year ago and they suffered a miscarriage earlier this year. He asked me to pick up a gift but I'm not sure what to get. Any suggestions? </p>
