I will collect those pampering goodies!</p> <p>@gingerbebe: open adoption. Mani/pedi gift certificate would be great, she loves them! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-get-a-friend-placing-their-baby-for-adoption#post-2505521 Thu, 24 Mar 2016 12:27:14 +0000 gingerbebe 2505521@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Well, I guess it would depend on how your friend has decided to deal/cope with the placement. Is it an open adoption? Will she have a relationship with the baby and the adoptive parents? Or does she want a closed adoption and sort of not have so many reminders of what she's going through??</p> <p>I feel like in any event, she may want comforting/pampering things so she doesn't have to think so much about day to day stuff while she's coping, like a mani-pedi certificate, or gift certificates to restaurants or grocery stores? Maybe books or an Amazon gift card to get Kindle books? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-get-a-friend-placing-their-baby-for-adoption#post-2505512 Thu, 24 Mar 2016 12:19:08 +0000 PawPrints 2505512@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Is she still pregnant or has she had the baby? If still pregnant (or recently given birth) then all the usual post-birth goodies would be nice, like sitz bath stuff, nursing pads to absorb her milk until it dries up, candy/cookies/snacks, witch hazel, dermoplast (can you mail that?) etc. A card that just says "thinking of you" or similar. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-get-a-friend-placing-their-baby-for-adoption#post-2505502 Thu, 24 Mar 2016 12:16:10 +0000 anonysquire 2505502@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>what would you get a friend placing a baby for an adoption? I have a friend out of state and I want to send her a care package. What items would you send? I'm thinking some sort of jewelry should be included. </p>
