Hey There, Friends!
Happy Tuesday! It’s time for another TUESDAY TALK with Fancy Ashley. On the third Tuesday of every month we host a link-up and would love for you to join us. The idea is simple…you can chat about anything and everything.
It’s March 20th, which to me means SPRING is HERE! The weather is warmer, the days are longer, lots of food made on the grill, and SHOWER SEASON!! Wedding showers, baby showers, adoption showers…you name it. I feel like this is the popular time for all those showers. It got me thinking about best gifts to give for those occasions. Sometimes a gift that’s a bit different can stand out as the BEST EVER?
Those are the ideas I’m looking for. 🙂
What was the BEST gift you received as a wedding present? Does a special gift stand out to you? If so, PLEASE share because we should be gifting it to others!
And I’m sure I got a TON of amazing things as a new bride, but I can’t remember! EEK! I feel awful saying that! I think the time has caused me to forget. 🙂 Almost 13 years ago, friends.
Please share your best wedding gift….if you can remember. 😉
Or as a mom with a new baby, what gift really stood out to you?? Did you have one you just loved?
A few ideas I’ve experienced or heard from friends {these are more helpful things/not so much gifts}…
*I remember talking to my cousin right after she had her baby. She was bragging on some sweet ladies in her town. She had lots of amazing friends sign up for meals, but two of her friends brought her all kinds of goodies for breakfast. Cut up fresh fruit, homemade cinnamon rolls, oatmeal, and on and on. I think it stuck out to her because it was different AND super helpful!
*That same cousin {her tribe must be GOOD…haha!} mentioned a friend bringing her all kinds of paper products. Paper plates, napkins, paper towels, toilet paper, and more…we all have to use that stuff and it made her life a little easier.
*Something I remember well after having Bowen was friends offering to take my big kiddos out of the house. As a mom to a new baby, you want to just sit and snuggle that new baby and with older kiddos, you just don’t have a lot of time for that. It was so helpful to me when a friend would take my big kids so I could just stare at baby Bowen OR do some laundry. 😉
*When we got home from China last summer, one friend dropped off a ton of lunch/snack goodies for the kiddos. It was summer time, everyone was home, and if you’re kiddos are like mine they want to eat 24/7 so it was so nice to instantly have this big batch of options.
What about a baby gift? I’d love to hear about your favorite baby gift! Or something you do for new mamas in your town! I’m hoping to “up” my gift giving game right after this post. haha!
I cannot WAIT to read your suggestions! Thank you in advance, ladies!
