Any advice on what to give a family celebrating the adoption of their daughter through foster-to-adopt?
Long story short: The adoption will be finalized soon and they are having a party to celebrate. We'll be out of town, so I'd like to send them all a little congratulations card/gift. They've fostered the little girl since birth, so it's not like they need baby supplies or anything like that - any insight on what's appropriate to send?
ETA: The little girl will have just turned 13 months.

@raspberries: how wonderful for them. Maybe a book set like the complete tales of Beatrix Potter.
What's your budget?

@raspberries: I ask about budget because I got T one of these keepsake boxes. They are expensive but gorgeous and a heirloom.

@youboots: That's a cute idea! I'm thinking I wouldn't spend more than $30 or so, but would be willing to spend up to $50 for the right gift.
And that box is gorgeeeouuuus! But probably a little outside of what I'm looking to spend.

There is also Winnie the Poo for about the same price. A friend got me the former for Ts first birthday.

I think something personalized would be really special, like this:

or even something simple like this with her name:

Maybe a gift card to a local ice cream shop or something fun they could do as a family? When in doubt, I always send picture books.
