“Auntie” gift

One of my husbands and I’s best friends ended up taking both myself and my husband to the hospital when we had our first child… I had an emergency c-section and he was working. She also coordinated a meal train for us when we were at the hospital for a month when our baby was in the NICU, and is just a 10/10 friend to us lately. I want to get her a nice “thank you” gift but I am at a loss on how to thank her for all she’s done. Anyone have ideas?

Do you have a picture of Auntie and Baby? Get it framed!

We don’t have one yet but that’s a great idea!

Heartfelt handwritten letter and a spa gift card would be lovely! Something personal that shows how much her support meant to your family.

Honestly? Write them a beautiful note with a bouquet of flowers. Costco and Trader Joe’s have gorgeous bouquets!

Give her a picture of herself with baby and inscribe the frame with “Auntie by Love”❤️

Love this! With Christmas coming up you can get a little gold frame for the pic and glue red ribbon on it as a tree ornament

Maybe some restaurant gift cards. Right back at you for arranging all those meals. You are a Rock Star

a gift plus a handwritten note saying exactly what she did, like “you drove us to the hospital and organized dinners for a month.” this gift set for a best friend is $82.95 and fits a friend who did all that
