    A friend of mine sells gorgeous baby trainer socks. I had never seen anything like this before. Only £2.75 each or £5 for two!

    PM me if you are interested and I will pass on her details.

    Definitely a paper on the day they were born and some stuff for mum but also what about one of the bears from the bear factory, with a special message from grandma recorded in it?

    They're only about 20 quid - I think these would be lovely

  • For a lining that could be further used by the new parents you could buy a pack of pink muslin cloths tescos/asda etc will have some fairly low cost and use as lining and then roll a couple up for holding things in place if necessary.... they can then be used by parents when baby arrives so will be multi purpose .. boots and waitrose (ocado) have also had their organic baby bathing products on offer over the past week so you could have a look for some nice goodies there they look nice and are kinder to baby... hand cream or moisturisers for mum as she will be washing hands lots and skin might be a bit dry ... one of the nice gifts that I received ( and fairly low cost) was a plot a tot calendar - this is a height chart with months of year on and has lots of stickers to record firsts.... when the first year is over it can simply be rolled up and kept as a record for the future hope this helps.

    [FONT=Verdana, sans-serif]I have just visited my sister in the hospital who just had a newborn baby,and she was showing me this wonderful hand made bouquet she has received from one of her friends. This thing looks like a real bouquet of flower, but its actually baby clothings (socks, hats, baby-grows etc..). This is also a great idea if you wish to send mother and newborn baby a present at the hospital, because hospitals don't like you send real flowers (something to do with health and safety). The bouquets are so sweet and you can keep them as a keepsake, once the cloths has been used. [/FONT][FONT=Verdana, sans-serif]http://www.babyblooms.co.uk [/FONT]

    Good Luck

    The prices on there are unbelievable!!! I have looked and the prices they are charging for a boquet of wrapped socks they are certainly making a lot of profit on their prices!
