Should I Send My Former Boss A “congratulations” Card And Gift Basket For Her New Baby?

I just found out that my former boss gave birth. She’s on maternity leave but I want to send her a congrats card and maybe something small for the baby like a small gift basket. First of all, is this APPROPRIATE? and second of all, where do I send it since she’s on maternity leave and isn’t in her office. I dont have her home address or anything like that.

    I would say sending it would be appropriate depending how well you got along with her and if she considers you a friend or just a former employee…to me that sounds kind of personally . And as far as sending to her office I would find out if they would forward it to her sometime soon or would it just stay there until she gets back Maybe they would know how you could send it so it gets there

    You could if you’re on friendly terms. But in general, co-workers, and especially bosses, don’t automatically belong to your social circle, so if you’re in doubt, don’t bother.

    Not only is that appropriate, but highly thoughtful.
    I don’t know your price range, but the following baby blankets are heavenly soft.http://www.maplesprings.com/embroidery/t…

    that would be cool if you know her and are on good terms and what not. you could always wait until she gets back to work. or see if anyone knows her address or you could possibly look her up in a phonebook.
