When should I.....?

[stormkeeper_lovedoris]

One of my favorite coworkers, Katie, is pregnant and due on March 3. I likely won't go to her shower but I want to get her a gift. When is it too early?

They know the sex of the baby and thus I think this means they are past the main 'danger zone'; miscarriage is much less likely by now. (She did have a miscarriage a few years ago). So is it too early to get a gift now?

I love Katie; she and her husband have been hugely involved in our LGBT employee group. She does a lot of the grunt work that no one else wants to.

it's so sweet of you to think of her, but i would definitely wait until closer to the date of the shower. then you can give it to her and say something like i'm not able to make it to your shower but i wanted to get you this (based on what you said above, i'm assuming you expect to be invited and just don't plan to attend). also gives her time to get all registered.

Makes sense - thank you.
