Warding off the bad fairies..
Oh thanks Abercrombie .. well we don't have them. I know it is superstitious but many of us here think it is unlucky to buy gift for a baby before it had safely arrived.
I feel it would tempt fate and would feel so dreadful if anything happened to the child.
On the whole we give presents & flowers once the child is born and you know what it is.... However at work they tend to give tokens or babyclothes when someone goes on maternity leave.
