Is a gender neutral baby gift appropriate as a Christmas gift for a couple expecting their third child?
November 19, 2009 | In: Christmas Gifts
My boyfriend’s friend and his wife are expecting their third child. They already have two boys ages three and one. I thought since they are being so kind to let me stay with them and my boyfriend for three weeks, I’d get them something for Christmas.
I don’t know the gender of the baby, so would a gender neutral baby gift be appropriate for their Christmas gift?
I have no idea what that will be. Suggestions are appreciated!

Yeah it should be appropriate. I got a few things when I was pregnant with my son for christmas and I didn;t have him til June

Of course! I’d be terrible to give them something feminine when it turns out to be a boy!
Oh, I guess you mean to get them “a baby gift?”
Yes, I’m sure the parents would love it. What woman DOESN’T like getting baby things(especially a pregnant woman)? Plus, I’m sure it will be very useful to them as well.
I’d be interested to know what you were getting them(not that it matters too much I guess).
ETA: clothes, bottles, pacifiers, blankets, booties, rattles, teddy bears, bibs, new born mittens, onesies(sp?), etc. What all I suggested in my other answer. I wasn’t sure if you knew what a diaper cake was. I didn’t ever see one myself until about a year ago. It’s a shame you couldn’t bring that.
Or, you could get something little for the 2 little kids? Something distinctly American and/or of the state you’re living in. Maybe a Christmas ornament – “for the ….. Family” or “Merry Christmas from Montana” or wherever it is you’re from. Just an idea…

Yes, that’s be appropriate as christmas gift.
But I think you can get some other gift for they third child, like toys or baby cloth, or sweater for the three year old.
