[QUOTE="gcvmom, post: 463663, member: 3444"] My mother in law did this for me when I was pregnant with difficult child 1 (back in the days before the internet really took off, much less the existence of things like Skype) since we were on opposite sides of the country and most of husband's extended family lived near her in the Pittsburgh area. I think she probably spent a small fortune on shipping stuff to me (mostly clothing, but there was a baby hamper in the box!), but she enjoyed throwing the party at her house for all the aunts and cousins and great grandmothers. She sent me pictures of everyone with their gift and included it in the box with everything. She also got us an infant car seat, but opted to give that to us in person when we made a trip to Toronto for husband's work -- we drove to Niagra to meet her :) But I digress. I think with today's technology it would be a fun and easy thing to do. And I think it really helps distant family feel more connected. [/QUOTE]
