baby gifts for mom and dad image
cakirk8
I will be living with them for 4 weeks. The family consists of mom, dad, and 4 year old daughter. I have thought about brownie mix and measuring cups, because I have several hispanic friends who had never tried brownies or even knew what they were, until I baked them for them. I got the idea of adding measuring cups from another website.
This wouldn't be all I would take. So please, any ideas would be a GREAT help!
Answer
well im Costa Rican-American and when ever we go visit my family we always bring them snickers chocolate bars and other american candies lol i know it sounds a little odd but yea my grandmother and all my family really loves them lol i dont remember if they have snickers bars in costa rica but if they do im sure they are probably too expensive for the average Costa Rican (my family lives in a very poor area in San Jose so yea when i say "average" i mean that type of people)
-a word of advice though....if the family is stable financially (meaning they have a nice house, nice things, have their children in private schools, their own cars and live in a good neighborhood) then i wouldn't want to take the chance of offending them by bring them american candy....if they CAN afford the candy then it would be a bit insulting to bring them something that they can get themselves ( but that doesnt apply to all gift...i dont know if im explaining myself correctly lol)
- but if you see that they are a humble, modest family (like mine) then im sure they would be more than grateful to have such a luxury that is american candy.
- u know what....to be on the safe side, you could bring them boxes of good quality chocolates like those assorted chocolates form Godiva and Ghirardelli. That way it shows your giving them something extra special (nothing cheap) and it wont insult them either way (and im sure the little girl will love chocolate...i mean, who wouldnt ;-)... ) AND it really wont cost you too too much when you think about it. So yea ...you cant go wrong with mixed cocoa lol
- u could also buy the little girl a really nice coloring book (not something you picked up at a dollar store...like my mom usually does for my little cousins *eye roll* ) like a huge book and a box of Crayola color pencils, markers, crayons ...a whole coloring kit lol. If you win over the baby of the house you'll win over the entire family ...trust me ;-) lol
-or a really nice Barbie or any popular doll from Toys R Us with some nice accessories (again try not to be too cheap about it...im only saying that cuz of my experience with my mother lol)
yea something along those lines....hope this helps!!
if you need any more ideas just let me know lol
Hope you have a great time in Costa Rica, its a beautiful country filled with beautiful people both inside and out ;-) (and im not just saying that cuz im tica lol) ....good luck!!

Registering for a baby shower, whats okay to register for?
NA
I'm throwing a baby shower for a friend. I asked her to go online and register for some gifts.
We're young (I'm 21, she is 23) and this is the first babyshower in our circle of friends.
What kind of things is it okay to register for. Baby-room furniture should be bought by mom and dad right? Like the crib and changing table? Those are pretty big things.
Is it okay to register for semi-big things like a stroller/high-chair/car seat?? Or are those aslo too big?
Answer
Tell her to register for what she wants. A registry isn't telling people that's what they HAVE to get for you, just an idea. Also, many people will go in together on bigger items. It won't hurt to put the crib, etc. on the registry. If she doesn't get it at the shower then she will just have to buy it. If she doesn't register for something then she doesn't have the chance of getting it as a gift. Also, at Babies R Us and Target they will give you 10% off whatever you registered for but didn't get when the baby is born.
