[quote=Anonymous]As someone who has been very poor I would suggest that whatever you give make sure it's beautiful and high quality. Like it's fine if it's a water bottle or a blanket or a kitchen appliance but I would focus on it being attractive and really good quality.

I had a baby when I was struggling financially and I had some wealthy family who gave me stuff like diapers and burp cloths and bottles. Some of them gave me high end stuff that is probably what they used with their own babies and using that stuff made me feel so good. I wasn't upset to get pampers or stuff from Target -- grateful for any gift. But I remember using these organic cotton swaddle blankets my cousin gave me and just feeling so good to have this very high quality and beautiful thing to wrap my baby in. There's something psychological about it. It's something I never would have bought myself but it made me feel really good.

In terms of specific ideas I always appreciate cold weather gear this time of year -- hats and gloves, nice long underwear or a flannel robe, that kind of thing. When I was broke I always felt like I had insufficient cold weather stuff (which really hits hard when you also have to ration your use of the heater).[/quote]
