A woman I work with had a baby shower recently. Should I buy her baby a gift?

The baby shower included only women (I’m a guy) and, besides, I’ve only worked with the woman for a few weeks. At any rate, I’d like to get her baby a gift. Should I give her one now, wait a couple weeks, or later when she gets back from maternity leave? Thanks.

Seeing as how you’ve only worked with her for a short period of time, I would wait, and perhaps give her a nice 3-6 mo. or 6-9 mo. onesie when she gets back from maternity leave. She is bound to be getting plenty of things for the baby to wear right away, and for the next few months. This way you can get her something that the baby can perhaps wear right away.
I hope this helps.
well thats sweet of you to give her a gift. I personal would wait a couple weeks!
you can buy her a gift or give her a gift card. After someone has a baby trust me, every little thing helps. She will be happy that you took the time and even thought to go and buy her something.
If you want to buy her a gift that’s fine you may want to ask her if there was something that was not given to her at the shower that she needs or a gift card to a take out restaurant so when she brings the baby home her husband doesn’t have to worry about cooking and taking care of her at least for one night. You are very thoughtful though.
Wait a couple weeks, right before she goes on maternity leave. Just get an outfit and I am sure she would appreciate it.
No don’t buy a gift just yet , get to know her a bit better and ask how the pregnancy’s going. Maybe a present for when the baby is born would be better. Not many guys are interested in this sorta stuff so good on you
Well you are a guy and typically men dont do that sort of thing but hey it would be nice if you did get her a little something! Shows you have a heart >.
I would! I’m nice like that.
If you think that a gift is too much try a card! Cards say ” I’m thinking of you” without going overboard, ya know?
If you did want to get her a gift I’m sure she wouldn’t complain!! lol
I would wait and get her a gift after the baby is born. Possibly a gift card and let her know that it is for incidentals that she may need.
That’s very sweet. Just get her a card and a frame for her desk. You can note in the card that this will help her transition back to the workplace by bringing a little bit of the baby with her.
Oh – and don’t get her a “thinking of you card” it can be taken out of context. Be sure to get a “Congratulations on your upcoming arrival or congratulations on your newborn”.
