Best New Baby Gift to Receive

02/18/2017

So your friend just had a baby. Not sure what to get them? They have everything or perhaps it’s a second or third child.

When my bestie recently had a baby, I decided to give her and her hubby what my favourite thing to receive was after I had a baby. Dinners. I took a Sunday afternoon and spent just over an hr and half and prepped a few meals. It ended up being a treat for me too. I doubled all the recipes and kept a pan at home for my family and packaged the rest up for my friend.

They were so thrilled to receive the meals. She had a complication during delivery so recovery has been a little slower. This gives her time to focus on the baby, nursing and healing and not have to worry about getting a meal on the table.

I made a point to put all the meals in container that either could be thrown away or that I didn’t want back so she didn’t have to worry about washing my good cookware and getting it back to me.

Its also a great way to get in the door for extra snuggles. I even made up a couple more meals through the week so that I could say hey I have another meal for you can I drop it by? I did say I would just drop it and go but they always let me stay for some quick snuggles.
