my BF is going in for a c/s tomorrow to have baby # 2. we are very limited on cash right now so i'm looking for a great gift idea for the new baby that is very affordable. i so wish we had more to spend but we are super tight on funds.
thanks for your recommendations.

Re: favorite gift u received for baby # 2?
We haven't had #2, yet. However, some of the "best" things we received from DD#1 where not the typical gifts......
a dinner, complete with salad and dessert, all in disposable containers so I didn't have to worry about dishes,
diapers and wipes (maybe a can of formula is she is not nursing)
COUPONS! (for diapers, wipes, formula, lotions, etc) As a HUGE coupon cutter, this was great! Especially because I no longer had the time to search for them and cut them...my BF did the work for me!
Honestly...one of the best gifts you can give someone is your time...maybe an hour so she may take a nap or shower, or offer to help her out in the laundry dept., offer to help out with some light housekeeping, etc. She will remember that more than any outfit or toy!
Good Luck!
I would say something personalized, but you probably don't have time for that if you need it soon. I just think my first son has way more things with his name on them than my second son. It doesn't have to be something expensive - even just cute burp cloths can be embroidered. I got some that were 3 for $18 (including personalization). I just love when the second baby gets a few things of their own as well.
Other than that, I second diapers and wipes. Bibs were also welcomed, because my first son had stained and ruined a bunch of his. Those are pretty cheap.
I'd have to agree with the diapers and wipes - you can never have too many of those!!
I really liked the coupon idea too but I'm also a coupon whore
food! bring the family something they can eat right away or that can be frozen for later.
