I’ve never done this before, and I have no idea if there is any interest, but here goes.
I’ve noticed a lot of lil’ dopers born lately, and I figured that it’s always nice to get something useful for the baby. So, a little exchange between the new and newish parents of the dope. Any takers?

PM me, your username as the subject line, write your real name and address, and if you’ll ship internationally (I’ll try to keep the continents together anyway).
-
Write in the thread with age/size of baby, and what season you’re having right now, and any wishes/preferences (are you avoiding pink? Are flowers unlucky in your culture?)
-
Signups before dec. 1, and try to shop and send before the holiday cuttoff of your local postal service. Post here when you sent a gift, and if and when you receive one.
4). Instead of naming a sum (since what would buy something nice in America wouldn’t buy a pair of socks here), we’ll set a standard: one nice everyday usable piece of clothing or set of accessories, i.e one romper suit, a mitten/hat/sock-set, a tiny pajamas etc. It should be nice enough that you yourself would love to receive it.
5.)It doesn’t have to be your babys very very first christmas, but if the child is big enough to be disappointed by a gift of clothes, it may be too old. We should all be shopping for more or less baby/young toddler sizes.
- It doesn’t have to be your baby, any you have around the house is fine.
Really, I just wan’t an excuse to send stuff to people so…anyone? They have really cute baby balaclavas here…
