My friend wants to get one-share-of-Disney-stock for our friend's baby shower because "It's so cute!" I told her it's a terrible gift because one-share is useless and now she's upset with me. She has been giving only Disney items to all our friends' birthdays since she started working there. She thinks it's justified because she didn't get those stuff for free. It's not about the price of the gifts! The problem is that she gives them out without considering the recipients. She just expect everyone likes Disney. My group of friends are around early 30s and I found it very immature of her to have given me a Minnie Mouse doll for Christmas. Anyway, do you think one-share-of-Disney-stock is a good idea? Does any parents out there actually WANT that gift? Any gift sugguestion? Would you prefer something practical, like a gift basket filled with dipers and baby toiletories?

I agree with you....get her the gift basket. Put your name on THAT gift and let your friend do the Disney thing if she wants. Be seperate in your gifts..... Practical will be appreciated....and I am sure they will think the Disney stock is cute. I wouldn't want to put my name on that gift....the Disney stock if it was not worth that much. It's a gift that LOOKS like more than it is and, if what you say is right, it's not worth the paper it's printed on! Good luck....and don't sweat the small stuff!

If maybe the person was a grandparent and wanted to gift that to their grandchild I can see it, but not for just any ones gift. A gift basket is filled with viewable, and usable items. Its by far the better choice!
