I always go for fun/funky/pricey baby clothes a parent probably wouldn't buy on their own.

Target, Wal-Mart, Baby Gap pretty much every store with a baby department have box gift sets. Like Blankets and nighties, or diaper bags with different items already in them.

If you don't know what to get for the baby...then get something for mommy.
Never underestimate the power of good lotions, or creams for mom....if she has decided to breastfeed...then vitamin e capsules are an awesome gift...a little drop of oil from the capsules rubbed on the nipples before and after feedings will prevent a world of hurt. wink


But....that's only if you know her well, and aren't embarrassed to have that kind of convo with her.

Even though this is someone I dated, I can't see having the vitamin-E-on-the-nipples conversation. lol But thanks for the suggestions!

Practical things. Not a bunch of toys, etc.

Their living-room, ect. is going to end up looking like a wasteland of rainbow colored plastic refuse for the next two years--they will be much more thankful for baby seats, sets of towels, carriers, etc. etc. than toys.

Get this for her parents:



They'll probably rename the baby after you!

They make those black, white and red toys...'cause it's the first colors babies see, and the make the coolest rattles and teething rings I've found. Most parents already tend to have all the practical stuff...BTW, my kids loved all of their sassy toys as babies.
