[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm making a gift basket for a needy family at the NICU that took care of my daughter. I'm planning to do mainstream items, in part because I don't think any of the moms I met there would want weleda products, organic gender neutral clothes, or handmade toys from etsy., so it's going to be pink clothes from carters, plastic toys, and disposable diapers.

NICU mom here. Have you ever thought about including a little note about the product or toy being from etsy or being organic? You could take a moment to use this as a teaching/informational tool for someone who MIGHT not have been exposed to such products. Then again, that needy family MIGHT be able to teach you a thing or two.[/quote]

How ridiculous.  Teach a needy family the benefits of organic products that they will likely never be able to afford on their own!!??  :roll:[/quote]

This is absolutely wrong.

You should do it and they'll make their choices. I'm the frugal poster from the budget thread and teaching low income folks how to stretch their dollar to eat and live healthy is the key.

You laugh at me when I say we eat oatmeal with banana peel and spread jelly made of watermelon skin on our bread but this is far healthier than the dollar menu junk this folks eat thinking they can't afford healthy food. [/quote]
