Yo SF peeps,
Long story short, my kid was born a week+ ago, and during the delivery and surrounding days, my wife's aunt has gone far and beyond what would be reasonably expected of a guest in this kind of situation (buying all number of items, spot cleaning house, taking care of animals, making dinners etc). IMO it would be gauche to simply reimburse her, and as she is deeply Catholic, my wife and I think it would be best to find some kind of Catholic-y jewelry of some sort to send as a thanks.
That's the hard part. As an ignorant heathen, I am kind of lost in the world of rosaries, pendants etc, so I am not sure of the 'rules' and so on. From the convos I have had with the wife's mother, a locket with a baby picture would be good, but is it appropriate to combine this with a pendant of a saint, like Brigit of Kildare (my google-fu indicates this is the main 'baby' saint)? Any alt ideas of a baby/Catholic jewelry gift? I'm all ears.
