Useful Baby Gifts for Parents

Useful Baby Gifts for Parents - Caring for a new baby is one of the most joyous and challenging times in a parent’s life, especially if we are talking about a couple expecting their first born. For them it is easy to feel anxious, nervous, and unsure. First-time parents often need a lot of handholding. Getting ready for the arrival of their little bundle of joy may be confusing, and expensive, unless family and friends bring them useful and practical gifts. In that case, the “old faithful” gifts may indeed be the best way to help out.

Not to make any embarrassing or useless purchases, the best thing one can do is ask the new parents flat-out what baby accessories they already have, what kind of gifts they prefer, how the baby’s room is organized, what colours and patterns they favor, and if they know what the baby’s gender will be.

Useful Baby Gifts for Parents

Clothes are one of the most bought gifts. When buying tees, sleepwear, body suits, rompers and tights, jackets, socks and booties, it is always better to buy them a few sizes ahead of time. The baby will grow into them, and mum and dad don’t get stuck with a bag full of newborn pieces. If the couple plans more children, pick a more neutral colour, with a less busy pattern. Remember, unisex clothing can be re-used. And talking about second hand options: not everyone was born with a silver spoon in their mouth, so do not hesitate to ask your relatives or friends, if they would appreciate some gently used clothes. Most of the time, the answer will be: yes!

Contactless Debit Cards

Contactless Debit Cards - Contactless debit cards will make their formal debut in Canada next year with the launch of Interac Flash from Acxsys Corp.’s Interac Association, Canada’s national debit network. Interac’s first two Flash issuers are Scotiabank and RBC Royal Bank, which will roll out their first contactless cards next summer.

More issuers and acquirers are on the way, an Interac spokesperson tells Digital Transactions News, though no announcements have been made yet. Interac and the banks tested Flash this summer at some high-volume, small-ticket merchants in downtown Toronto.

Homes Losing Value Fastest

Homes Losing Value Fastest - Homeowners with Citigroup loans in foreclosure-rich Virginia Beach, Va., and Orlando, Fla., are in luck. The mortgage giant announced today that it will impose a moratorium on most foreclosures and modify $20 billion in mortgages to enable homeowners who are not behind on their loans, but in danger of falling behind, to avoid foreclosure. Those that don't fall under the plan? They're in hot water. Well, underwater. Virginia Beach homeowners who bought homes this year possess a paltry 5.2% of home equity, and 34.5% owe more on their property than it's worth, according to Zillow.com, a real estate research group. That's the worst rate in the country. Even in Orlando and Miami, two cities hammered by bad loans and home-equity dips, only 30% and 29% of homeowners are underwater, respectively.
