Baby clothes are expensive. I went to Kohl's yesterday and spent $85.00 on four outfits for my 15 month old. That is a good chunk of change for baby clothes that she will only be in for a couple of months, nothing fancy, little summer shorts and tees and a sundress. People on a really tight budget would definatly appreciate it, then there are some that would frown upon it. I say..do this....get her the certificate and also get her a nice inexpensive toy, a cute blanket..walmart has some really cute ones for like $5 or pack of bottles...maybe a small pack of diapers...just something small that would go with the certificate. Something new and the certificate for the second hand store. Wrap them up cute and there is nothing wrong with that at all. Being a mother, if there is a nice used clothing store with reasonable prices I would definatly do that for kids up to school age. Any gift should be appreciated..no matter where to.

She asked why. I told her "Well, let's say you get me a gift card to wal-mart for $25, I can get maybe 3 outfits. For $25 at the resale boutique, I am able to buy twice that, so your gift will a longer way!" But if your friend does not shop second-hand, do not get it, just get her a Babies R Us or something. She may be offended, and you know how moody pregnant women can be LOL!

It is a useful gift. She can find many items in a resale shop at reasonalble prices. What is tacky is when people buy usless crap, like stuffed animals. It’s not tacky at all. It is a useful gift.

We buy a ton of stuff at consignment shops for our son, who is 2. Most of the stuff still has the original tags on it! Just put in the card that she can probably get more items for less and since they grow out of it so quickly, she can save money. I'm sure if she knew your intentions were good, it would be fine. Perhaps in casual conversation you can mention "you know someone" who goes there and saves a lot, and see her response. Some first time mom's want new, special things for their babies.

Does she ever buy slightly used items? If so, then I think your gift would be great. I like resale shops, 1/2 price books, and garage sales but…every person is different.
