    Default Help!!! Need ideas from parents!

    Hi

    I need some serious help and ideas for a gift for a colleague who has just welcomed their 3rd child.

    I'm guessing they already have most things, but I have been asked to get them something 'practical' on behalf of the company ...

    I don't have any kids so I'm a bit clueless ... Any suggestions?? I can probably spend up to about $300.

    Thanks heaps

    Voucher for a cleaning service, dinner service, or photography.

    All fantastic ideas - thanks!

    I'm a bit worried about giving a voucher ... particularly for food as I know some of the family is very fussy/has special dietary needs.

    I thought of a stash of nappies (one box of every size), but then there is the issue of storage

    Any other suggestions?

    A voucher for photography is a great idea! I would have loved that

    I was going to say cleaner too. Or a nappy service. Something like that would be fantastic I reckon!

    Is it the Mum or Dad who works with you? You could always just ask the Dad what would work best? That way it's still a surprise for Mum, but they get something that they would prefer?

    On a side note - how's your shoulder? Hope it's all better by now

    How about a nappy cake? (Providing they will use disposables). We made one for a collegue and she loved it. You can take off 'one layer' at a time too so you don't need to store the whole thing at once. We had lots of fun making it and it looked awesome pm me if you would like more info
