What baby gift would you get in this situation?
I missed my cousin’s baby shower but I would still like to get her a gift. She’s young and could probably use all the help she can get. But, my money is tight right now. Should I:
A. Question her mom what she still needs and get it when i can afford it?
B. Send her a card and a gift card?
C. Offer to take some pictures (since I’m a photographer) for free?

I’d offer the pictures. Everyone wants baby pictures, and if you do it professionally and set them in an album for her it would be an incredible and personal gift she won’t forget.
Card and pictures as they are more special and lasts forever . I reckon it would be an awsome baby shower (late) present
yeah the pictures and gift card
Personally, I don’t like gift cards because they don’t seem like very personal gifts, but if you got her one of those she could use it to get whatever she needs. Also, maybe getting clothes for the baby, but clothes that are a small larger, so the baby can wear them when they get a small larger. . . mom’s get a lot of first born clothes at baby showers.
If money is tight, I would get baby clothes for her. Get some for several ages up to one year. And they don’t have to be fancy. The packages of Gerber gowns or plain onesies are perfect.
You can also find out what brand of diapers she uses and get her a large package of them.
New parents never seem to have enough baby clothes or diapers!
Question the mommy to be what she needs.
I reckon the pictures would be a fantastic gift. Maybe you could even get baby pictures of her and her mother (grandmother) for the alblum.
The picture thing sounds excellent.
BUT MAKE SURE YOU WRITE OUT A CONTRACT FOR EVEN THIS…
give her 2 ages where she can have the pictures taken.
Hi,
I reckon going with option (c) is your best bet, every Mother want’s to have excellent quality photo’s of their new born but not everyone can afford them, and I should know because my wife forked out $600 for photo’s of our new born last month which was more than I wanted to spend but when I say them it was worth it.
Hope that helps and if you have any other queries about baby gifts check out my blog below.
All the best

By offering to take photos, you are offering your cousin something unique, a piece of you, that no one else will be able to provide. What an incredible gift? Despite being young and possibly needing financial support, a photo session with her baby is something that she will treasure forever, and is not something that she has on the “essentials” list. Give her a treat, and hold your head high!
