I realised after my post that dads tend to be left out of these things...I've found a cute father/son matching t-shirt set for him (Dad's is a picture of an oak tree, baby's is an acorn and I love it!)

The not spending a fortune thing looks like it's flying out of the window!!

Has he given birth and is he breastfeeding?

I think only one of those is possible;)

My best friend is pregnant and told me at 3 months that what she would like as a present when her baby's born is vast stocks of all the cheese she's not allowed to eat while she's pregnant. She's missing cheese so badly (and sushi). There are quite a few online cheese shops that deliver if you aren't going to see her in person.

My best friend sent me some maltesers, they were very much appreciated!

When my friend had a baby - I bought a bigger (not newborn) sleep suit for the baby, and a relaxation CD for Mum and Dad.

No you didn't offend, I'm sure bigmomma wasn't having a go. The cloth's are made of muslin, muslim is a religion, it's a simple (&not uncommon spelling mistake, you weren't the only one)
The pj's are a good idea, maybe get ones that look more like loungewear but are still nice iykwim just so she won't feel like she's been caught in her jammies if she does get caught in her jammies lol.
This look's quite nice from asda, top & bottom's, but you'll know your mates style better & what she would wear.
ETA Just remembered I saw this short dressing gown in Tescos earlier & it looks gorgeous.

We've got this http://twistedtwee.co.uk/pint--half-pint-set-mint-choc-chip-p-527.html the sizes for kids seem to be huge, my DD's been wearing hers for about a year lol. I am going to get another in a bigger size now she's grown out of hers cos it is so cute - makes a great Father's Day gift.
