All I said was that I didn’t want to spend an hour or two and have everyone sit down and watch me open every single gift. I am having a baby shower out of state where my family is, and she’s flying out but being weird/rude? Wanting to return the gifts now??? Since I said I didn’t want to make a big production out of...

Hello! Does anyone have any ideas for DIY Father’s Day gifts? Something that a non crafty person would be able to do 😂

Hey mamas, I've been invited for a baby's birthday party. It's our first one in Canada, so I don't know what the norms are around a gift receipt. Should we always include it or it doesn't matter? Thanks.

Are you planning to open gifts at the first birthday? I never considered not doing this, but my mother in law suggested it. Upon googling it seems like it might be unpopular to open gifts? As a gift giver I love seeing gifts opened…and I want the photographer to photograph gift opening. Is this bad taste now?

Every time someone visits baby, we get lots of gifts. It was great in the beginning but now I’m overwhelmed and I’ve just put things to the side. There’s so many clothes, baby’s wardrobe is full. I almost dread receiving things now. I feel like I’m being ungrateful but I’m really struggling with what to do. Some thi...

Hey All! I’m trying to come up with something for my husband for Father’s Day. We are taking our summer vacation that week but I wanted to get something for him from our son.

What have your LO’s received/plan on receiving for their birthday? My MIL has asked us to tell her what to buy our son for his birthday, so I’d love to find out what others have asked for. Thanks!

Hi Mums! Do you expect your significant other to get you a Mother’s Day present from them? Even if they get one for you on the behalf of your child/children? Would be interested to know what everyone thinks!

Has anyone ever sold at a NCT nearly new sale before? If so, what did you charge for items, clothes etc? I have no idea what to charge! Thanks.

Hi lovely ladies. This is a bit of a random one - it’s my birthday coming up just before due date and my family like to share gift ideas so we’re getting something we might need rather than a surprise. My question is what might be useful to me as a new mum that I could ask for? All I can think of is things for my ba...

Anyone here buy it??? If anyone wants to sail the seas comment and I’ll add ya 😁
