Is this a cop out?

[soozy87]

It's a nice gift. Useful for sure. Not a cop out when you are helping plan and bring food.

[zoidberg]

Cop out? It's completely practical and I am sure very much appreciated. That's kind of a shitty comment.

[FastHands]

Not a cop out. And if H thinks it is and it's primarily his friend, well then he can go buy/do more.

[livinitup]

DH laughed at you? So, what's his great gift idea? Plenty easy to say some ELSE isn't creative enough.

Visa gift cards are awesome. I hope the mom uses it on herself. HA!

[brickhouse]

I would have loved that gift. You're on the right track...don't let anyone deter you!

[redheadk]

That's an awesome gift. AWESOME.

My favorite gifts for this baby have been the Visa gift cards and giant boxes of diapers and wipes. Add a card saying not to send a thank you note and you are all set! If he feels like you should add something "baby" to the gift to personalize it, toss in an O ball or tell him to get to the store to pick something out. I'm sure he can find something special as well as, if not better than you, since it is his best friend.

Not at all says the childless girl

It's a GIFT- how can any gift be a cop out?

[alare]

That's a great gift. I love the idea of tiny fruits and veggies. If he thinks it's a cop-out he needs to do this shin-dig.

[mellymel]

Definitely NOT a cop out

People don't like creative gifts for the most part. They like useful gifts, which you are giving.

[eb777888]

What? No, not even a little. Sounds like a gift I'd love to have received.

[mansplain]

Sounds like a thoughtful gift!

psssh...that's absolutely not a cop out. cop out gifts are those useless "pretty" gifts like the giant frames with holes for each month's picture or a wall hanging about God making babies to bring joy to the world, etc etc etc.

LOL  MIL gave us one of these.  She bought a lot of the big stuff off our registry, too, though.

[SKP82]

I also think the gift card and diapers are a perfect gift!

[missanne]

Awesome gift! Not a cop out!

[ECB]

Dude. So not a cop out.

[snickers]

Not at all, it's a good gift.

[Bree Van de Kamp]

How the hell is that a cop-out? Diapers are literally the best baby shower gift ever. I would have loved to replace some of the 24395843958340 packages of onesies/bibs/receiving blankets/suffocation hazards stuffed animals with diapers. I think your gift and dish is perfect. Screw the hatersz.

Diapers and a gift card are awesome gifts. She is going to get so much shit she doesn't want or need and will have to buy the stuff she does want or need after.

[hopecounts]

my DH had a diaper shower at work. it was the best.
diapers and a gift card or even just diapers are awesome. diapers are expensive and new babies require a lot of them as well as other odds and ends.

what a bitch.

money and diapers? exactly what new parents need.

[Jalapeñomel]

I fuckin' hate it when people get me money. I would much rather have something impractical that will sit in my closet for years until I decide it has been long enough to regift it.

[bab]

I don't get it.

Sounds like this person doesn't understand what a cop out is.

Is she trying to say you aren't spending enough? I honestly don't understand.

[zoidberg]

It's an easy gift, but still a good one.

[bab]

It's probably the best gift they will receive. Not a cop out.

[Deleted]

Nothing wrong with the gift, but I'm having trouble envisioning the tiny diced fruit and veggies.

[daisyheadmaizie]

Just because it is easy doesn't mean it isn't good.

[Deleted]

I would love this gift.

I blame this mentality on Pinterest.
