Is it a boy or a girl?? Also, what is your budget?

A piggybank is always a good one - start moneysaving early!!

also, some little toiletries or something for the mum. she's done all the hard work and will appreciate it far more than the baby does. when i had mine my mil bought me a little something for me, and it was so so nice.

Try to avoid clothes and soft toys, I was inundated with both. A nice photoframe or a keepsake box would be nice. I know that's would I would have liked for them.

What a bumbo (squishy sort of seat that helps baby to sit up ) it can be used from 4 months and has a novelty value, yet is incredibly useful. It costs about £30.00

I agree with the above post - threat the Mum as well as the baby ! When my first son was born, a friend gave a few outfits in different ages - 0-3m, 3-6m, etc. I appreciated that, as I didn't have all newborn stuff. I don't know what you buget is, but why don't you pay for nice studio photgraph. Or for a cheaper option, our local Boots has a 'professional' photographer every few months.

my sister bought my kids premium bonds!

premium bonds, ious for babysitting,home cooked food or some kind of really simple baby record calendar for the sleep deprived parents, like the plot-a-tot.

failing that, clothes from 6 months plus - and remember what the season will be then. far too many people give cute newborn clothes, and you get so many there isn't time to wear them before they grow.

Hi muir_steve,

I hope you don't mind but I am going to move your thread over to the families board, where hopefully you will get more replies.
