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 feel that cash will be better as well. Like what Diana said, we can use the money for what baby really needs instead of getting things that we will not use. Most of my friends and family members are lazy to get a gift so they normally will just give a red packet. Or when they ask me what I want usually I will tell them not to get anything as I have already gotten all the things needed. If you feel that it is inappropriate to ask for certain gifts, if you received what you do not use, you can pass to other people who uses them.
