    Hi how about something for the mum instead. A pampering gift ie bubble bath. candles. It would be a nice change as people tend to forget about mum.
  • A home made meal handed to them for the freezer? One of our friends made a lot of extra food and sent it to us in some takeaway cartons :D (I'd had a section and wasn't up for cooking for several weeks).

    The other thing I'd suggest is a nightie (also known as a bundler)- honestly, DS didn't sleep in babygrows until he was about 9 months old! The nightie is so much easier to do nappy changes in etc. The ones we had were thick organic cotton and were more than a tenner. However for a present how about something like this:

    Ebay have some as well - I think our last one came in well under £10 - do a search for a Sage Creek Gown.
    The IVF worked;DS born 2006.
