Ok, I am a guy. I know that comes as a shock but I wanted to say that and to add that I have no idea what is an appropriate gift in most situations. I would say this is true for most guys but I a particularly bad at it. Getting the right card, getting the right gift, they are not what I excel in. For example, a guy I work with just had a baby, I don’t know if I have to get some cute little outfit or would a tool from Harbor Freight be ok. I know he would like the tool and if I get some outfit it will probably be the wrong size, color, or any number of things wrong, but a tool will always work! Couldn’t get any accessories because any I can afford are probably on the recall list or the “top ten what not to buy” list. If they are not they cost as much as a used car. Have you looked at all the baby stuff, it is more complicated than a backpack from REI and cost more! It also appears to me that all that baby stuff is now somehow related to the transformer movies because nothing is just one thing anymore. As parents, you now need the full-size minivan just for the gear and another to carry the child in. Thank goodness my children are now adult age, now all they want is money, which is in limited supply around my house and the occasional car keys. Most of the year all of my money goes to having them live somewhere else, where they learn all the things I did wrong during those baby years above! Maybe the best gift I can give is a few dollars to pay for a babysitter, but then again when they are newborns they are just too cute and you are too exhausted to go out!
