What gifts would you prefer to receive from friends when you just gave birth? I would rather people not come with any because I got boxes of Chicken Essence, Milo, DOM which I rarely take at all and end up having to find place to keep them.

I agree with the other moms' suggestions of cash or gift vouchers as these would be the safest and easiest for us moms whether we just gave birth or we are hoping for gifts for our kids' birthdays. Sometimes though, it is found to be quite rude to ask this so I would suggest asking for practical gifts like diapers, formula milk (if you are not breastfeeding), baby wipes, and the like. These are items that you are bound to use in abundance so it doesn't matter how much of these you receive.
