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 also feel that cash is more practical. Usually friends would ask what you would like to get since they are unsure what you already have. Otherwise, you can also draw up a list of items that you will need and get them to choose from the list. It is much better than having the gifts go to waste.
