Dear Sugar Source:
One of my clients recently had a baby, and I would like to send her something small and sweet. It can’t be too personal, but I want it to be thoughtful and something from New York City (since that is where our office is located). What would you recommend?
Thanks,
Manhattan Account Executive
Hi Manhattan Account Executive,
It sounds like you want to skip the Toys R’Us/baby gift card route, which is perfectly fine! It’s important to note that you don’t want to make her life more stressful with your gesture, as her family is adjusting to the presence of a newborn. In this case, I would advise against sending cupcakes – while great for a baby shower, the potential mess and generally two-handed nature of the treats may end up being more of a challenge to eat.
Eleni’s Bakery New Baby Cookie Collections
I would recommend ordering cookies from Eleni’s Bakery (especially if she cannot, or prefers not to, consume gluten). They come in nicely curated packages, are beautifully decorated with icing , and present several options for the new mother, ranging from gender-specific to the gender-neutral. If you happen to know the sex of the child, that will only help you narrow down your choices. The cookies can be a treat for her or her family, or she can leave them out for visitors coming to see the new bundle of joy for themselves. They can also keep for several days, so there is no pressure to consume them immediately (though she may very well be tempted to do just that).
Don’t forget a simple card congratulating her on the latest addition to her family as well!
Until next time,
SugarSource
