another gift exchange post ...

ADub09

Okay how about those of us that want to do an exchange now go ahead and do one, and those that want to wait, wait and we will do another one at 20 + weeks.  I am team green so maybe I don't really get the whole gender specific thing especially for something as simple as a onesie.   I am totally open to doing something other than onesies or sticking to that. 

Thoughts???

How do you do it?

Sounds good to me - I do think it makes sense to wait until everyone has passed 12 weeks. Then we could do a second holiday gift exchange as the "gender specific" one. But I'll participate in whatever everyone decides!

I can really only participate in one exchange comfortably, so if there is one now and one later, I'd rather participate in the one later. I'm signed up for this one though so I guess I need to unsign up?

I'm game for one now and one later.

The gift exchange. Lol.

so how will you do this and separate those that signed up that want to participate now vs later?

I voted wait for the gender issue and to also be a little further away from the "scarey zone" although I had a loss the 1st time well into my 2nd tri so there is no safe zone in my eyes...but wouldn't mind doing one now and later.

I am fine with now and later and whatever. Just a thought- What if we did a board book? You can get them cheap at tj maxx and such.

those who have signed up that want to pull out can delete themselves.  Board books is cute!!

Book now and onesie later? Those that want to wait for gender reveal or that can only participate in one can choose which they prefer perhaps?

Yes! 

1. I'm leery to do something right now because I haven't even had my NT scan yet.  2. I'd really prefer gender-specific.

I'm totally cool with sitting this one out if others are planning on doing this later.

I think a board book for the first gift is a great idea. Those are gender neutral for sure

I would like to do one later when its more gender specific.

 Im confused when people are saying "signed up".... is there a place to sign up for the exchange? I just joined the board a week ago so that could be it.

What's a board book?

A board book now could be fun, then we could do the onesie later.

I'd be interested.  But I also don't know what a board book is.

Love the board book idea for now and onesie later....2 pretty inexpensive gifts means I could do both swaps which would be super. Plus you can never have too many board books...especially if you have a toddler like I do who likes to eat them, lol.

Oh and for those who don't know, a board book is made out of cardboard that has a shiny coating on it. It is harder for the baby to ruin it that way. If you go to amazon and do a search for board books in the book department they have a lot of them for examples.

I'd definitely be interested in doing the onesie exchange later :-)

Cool, thank you! I thought it had something to do with this board...which seemed really weird...
