hmmm.. interesting responses.

Showers, only been to one of them, was a work thing...

But the same tokens, it's the same as when a friend moves from one house to another, there's some sort of housewarming, be it one of gifting or just one of having a keg of beer and trying to kill it.

I think that the gifting is whatever is appropriate for the time, meaning that if it's a second or third child and that child has different needs, then get what's appropriate to assist.

Personally, I don't like the whole gifting traditions as they are constructed, so I participate within them whenever I feel like it, much to the frustration of family and friends.
