Is there a rule of tumb for baby gifts

post #1 of 5
Thread Starter 
OK--I need some advice...

I've gotten a gift for pretty much everybody I work with who's had a baby since I've been working here. Except maybe once, and the person was a temp who had just started here, and I didn't know them. And I also didn't know about the baby until way after it was born. The people who worked around him took up money and got him a gift card.

Well, I just found out today that a guy out on the line has a new baby. About 2 weeks old now. Nobody ever told me they were expecting, and nobody ever got me the information to make a congratulations sign. I know the guy. Not extremely well, but I did help him get his foot in the door here and get all his paperwork straight to come to work for us.

I am wondering what would be appropriate gift wise. A card? A couple of small things like pacifiers and a toy? Blanket? I don't know. I feel bad that nobody even said anything to him until he brought in pictures of the baby.

Did anybody get him anything? If they did I might just do a card. But I think I might feel akward giving a gift now. If he's been there awhiel and you've done something for everyone else then Yes I htink you should do something. Maybe a gift card?

Get him whatever you feel comfortable doing. There's no reason you can't give a baby gift after the baby is born.

it is so hard to know, especially with guys... some just don't talk!

it is totally perfect to give him the gift now! he didn't bring in pics until two weeks.... he is stalling or something..
