I got a welcome wagon when my son was first born in BC, then we moved to Ontario and got it for being new to the community and since our son is still under a year old we got a new baby one too! It was great... now we're probably moving to Halifax because DH just got his new posting with the military, so another welcome wagon for us!!

I have had the welcome wagon come every time I move even if I move a little ways.

Some places it has been very worth it other places it has been a waste of time becuase you got nothing

I've always gotten garbage!
