This might seem cheesey to some, but I really appreciated gift cards. My wife and I are somewhat particular when it comes to baby stuff. There is so many baby things out there and so many different directions that you can go, parental preference plays a big part. I liked being able to research and pick out the product that was best for our particular lifestyle and habits. Food is also a great idea for the adults. I appreciated gift cards from restaurants that had take-out. We didn’t want to take the baby out, but it was a good break for one of us to drive down to Chili’s and get something good that we did not have to cook and clean.
