pebbles Ideal Rock Total Posts: 953 Last Post: 6/9/2006 Member Since: 10/8/2005	I personally wouldn't get her anything too extravagent as I think that should come from her husband and not from you. My mom bought me a sapphire and diamond ring, and while I like it, I wish it had come from my husband -- he didn't get me anything after either baby. I saw this on Red Envelope and thought it was pretty. http://www.redenvelope.com/re/gifts/product_display/product_information.jsp?nc=95761&BV_SessionID=@@@@1177976914.1141058970@@@@&BV_EngineID=ccciaddhdljmfmecefecefedfgfdfmg.0&refPg=%2fproduct_display%2fgift_results.jsp&bct2=shops&bcp2=1&bcm2=1%24%24-8193&bct4=jewelry+%2B+accessories&bcp4=3&bcm4=1%24%24-8203&bct5=necklaces&bcp5=4&bcm5=29$$%2Fshops%2Fjewelry+%2B+accessories%2Fnecklaces@@30$$-10310@@35$$10310&catOid=-10310&oid=12307110&nc2=1 You can also either do something with an amythest or a pink gemstone. I think the diamonds should be saved for her husband. Just my $.02.

Chrono Ideal Rock Total Posts: 11,281 Last Post: 11/20/2009 Member Since: 4/22/2004	When I had my little boy(and first child), my husband let me pick whatever jewellery I wanted (within his budget, of course), so I got myself a sapphire pendant with diamond accents. Although it was the first grandchild for both my parents and the first grandboy for his parents, I didn't get anything from them. However, as per our custom, the baby received tons of 24kt gold and money from both sets of grandparents. I think it is wonderful for you to want to gift your daughter to celebrate the birth of her (possible) daugther. I think the birthstone of the child is a good idea. A diamond doesn't hurt either but it is her husband's "job" to get her such an expensive and personal gift. My parents also took any opportunity they could to babysit (and even overnights) so we could get some uninterrupted sleep, which at that time was worth a lot more than romantic dinners to me.

woobug02 Ideal Rock Total Posts: 2,095 Last Post: 11/18/2009 Member Since: 11/12/2004	WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO I have been out all day preparing for the inducement tomorrow at 7:30 am.... I am so nervous and excited. I do live close so free babysitting is definately available I appreciate all of your suggestions. I have been racking my brain. I love the birthstone ideas but after seeing the beautiful maternity ring at Facets I think that is a winner.... THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! I definately don't want to over step my bounds and hope her hubby does something but thought since this was "our baby having a baby it would be appropriate to get her something special." I have to be honest, I don't remember my hubby buying me any jewelery after the birth of our first daughter but then again we were young and broke. You all are so sweet. I can't believe I am going to be a Grandma.....WOOOO more beautiful jewelery to buy for this sweet little girl (they say it is a girl).... I will keep you up to date. ****** Live Life, Love Someone and Laugh Everyday****** WOOO

Then you could get her little charms like Baby Shoes. And her husband could get her charms as well. -Matatora Courage is the price that life extracts for granting peace Most of the change we think we see in life is due to truths being in and out of favor.

She turned out to be a very good MOM!! I want to say congratulations on becoming a Grandma, it is so exciting! Please, let me know how she does, and what she has. .

My little guy is 7 months and is ALL over, not much cuddles for me. My dh didn't get me anything but he did before the birth. That's how I got my 3 stone pendant from WF which is in the gallery there as "same size" or something. Three 1/4ct expert selection stones in honor of the triplets I WAS carrying. Oh hope you've had a fabulous eve and day, will check back later. PS My mom didn't get me anything but clothes for the baby and clothes for me to fit my new frame. (she sells Ann Taylor on Ebay). This was #7 grandchild for her at 49 and #1 (except my daughter from ex) for my in-laws.

Why should a husband get his wife something after the birth of a baby? Didn't he, figuratively and literally, "get" part of that baby? And what about all the years of care, patience, guidance, hard work, and providing that will be put into that baby (from both parents)? Or is this some nouveau trick to exact as much jewellery as possible from men? What's the idea here, that the woman went through 9 months of toil and sacrifice and needs a pick-me-up after the fact (other than a brand new life to nurture)? If anything, I thought that if there was jewellery involved, it was for the baby. I.e. a nice gem to commemorate the child's birth, perhaps something that can be incorporated into sentimental jewellery when the girl/boy is old enough to appreciate it. confused

Heck if it works I'll take it! I didn't get any jewelry from my husband for my daughter, not expecting anything for the second (we are saving for a minivan), but I did give my mother a grandmother pendant for her 3 grandkids. Seriously, getting a memento for a child's birth (and hypothetically one that can be passed down to the child) seems more meaningful than getting something for a random holiday like Valentine's day. If I had my druthers (and the cash) I would love to buy a beautiful unset gemstone for each child, to give to him/her when they reach adulthood.

raddygast Cut Rock Total Posts: 179 Last Post: 12/4/2006 Member Since: 10/20/2004	...and so would I. I guess my point was that it seemed a bit arbitrary and weird to give a new mother something sparkly just for having given birth. Not to actually do it, but to be expected to do it as if it was a normal thing that everyone does out of tradition. But yeah, valentine's day is also absurd. Never mind jewellers. It always cracks me up when I drive past a florist before Valentine's Day. Seriously, in North America, how the hell does a florist stay in business on those other 364 days? People really don't have flower-giving sensibilities in this culture. When I was in Eastern Europe, there were flesh flowers practically at every bus stop. Some were being sold by women who would make my grandmother look like a teenager. They were almost selling out of a cardboard box, but damn if they didn't move flowers (and they were fresh, beautiful, and lively, unlike the crap you pay billions for and your local florist pulls out of a fridge).

I also think it's strange the American (or maybe commercial) expectation of gifts for this or that holiday. A gift is a gift, it shouldn't be an expectation, obligation, or a chore. My husband occasionally will bring home flowers for no special occasion, I agree it seems silly to reserve flowers for specific dates.

I think she means what to get her daughter, not the new baby, unless, I am mistaken. I think a nice pendant on a chain would be nice. Nothing too expensive of course. I am with the other poster that something really expensive should be from her husband/father of the child. Or how about something that she can use for the baby? Does she need any furniture, clothes, etc.? When I had my first child, my parents did not get me jewelery, but they purchased the entire nursery for me, which I am now using for my new baby girl.

Oh, right, i'm sorry. the woman does everything. i guess from now on you can all go and have babies on your own then, become asexual and raise them yourself too. Good luck Hmmmmm never said the woman does everything BUT the only 'work' the man has to do before the baby is born is fertilize the seed...and I'm guessing there aren't too many men that would consider that work.
