Frequently asked questions

What do you write in a card when giving cash for a baby?

Keep it warm and light — you don't need to explain the gift in detail. A simple line like "hope this helps with something special for the little one" is more than enough.

Is it weird to include a rhyme with a money gift?

Not at all — a short, sweet rhyme is a classic touch for baby gifts and softens the practicality of cash nicely.
