I want to get a gift for my cousin and her husband since they just came home with a newborn. What’s a good gift idea that parents would actually want, for ex. maybe a DoorDash gift card? I was looking for a gift for them rather than the baby

Another possible gift could be a gift card for someone to come in and watch the baby while they go out on a date. Getting out of the house and not being tied to a newborn is such a gift even if it’s just for a couple hours. parents need time to adjust and they need time to unwind.

Yeah local place that delivers gift card or offer to baby sit so they can go out or just hang out at the house and relax while you watch the baby something like that even if it’s just a few hours.

I think that’s a great idea! Don’t see how you can possibly go wrong with that one. Since you mentioned specifically wanting to do something for them- perhaps another idea could be a gift card or voucher to a restaurant or for some activity you know they enjoy together, as a sort of “date night” gift? I would hesitate to give a similar type of credit for a babysitting service, etc. as you can’t be certain what their feelings toward leaving their child with any given person or business will be at any point, especially considering having a brand new baby and experiencing even more heightened feelings

Cleaning service possibly.

Factor meals.

If you are close to then, gift card to a restaurant and a promise to babysit while they go!

With social security potentially running out, why couldn’t it be an option for the govt to put $5k for every baby that is born in a year into an account Invested in a govt share class S&P 500 fund. Historical average is 10%+, which would provide roughly $2.7 million for a baby born today. Eventually, this would eliminate the need for soc sec tax, and would only cost $18 Billion a year instead of several trillion a year being deposited into the trust.
