asked:
My husband and I really want to do something for his old manager and his wife who are expecting their first baby. This manager was fantastic and went out of his way to help our family, but we dont have the sort of relationship where we keep in touch. We see his manager once in a while and say hello in passing.
Last night while I was at work(babies r us), he and his wife came in to pick up their new crib. We talked for almost 20 minutes and he asked many questions about how our daughter was doing and was clearly interested in how we were doing. We also talked a bit about their upcoming new arrival.
This manager went so above and beyond to help my husband and our family while he was working there, and we really want to do something for them.
They dont have a gift registry, but I make and sell diaper cakes so we were thinking of dropping one off to him at work (left at the security desk, not interfering with work).
Is it appropriate?

Of course. Its incredibly appropriate and incredibly thoughtful. I’m sure they’ll appreciate it. Another idea would be to call him (leave your number at his office so that he can call you if you don’t have his number) and invite he and his wife out to lunch or something. Then you can give them the gift in person.

I think it very appropriate. You are showing your appreciation to him. Since they dont have a registry you could also get them a gift card, theyre always a great gift.

A congratulations card w/a gift card inside would be nice.

The gesture perhaps you should try to keep more in touch with them they sound like nice people.
