Nestie with question for Two Under 2 Moms/Parents

jeffloveschrissy

I am looking for a great gift idea for a friend who is pregnant with her second baby boy. Her son is almost two years old, his 2nd birthday is about two weeks after her due date.

My friend is due at the end of August so as soon as he arrives I would like to get the item to give to them at the hospital.

 

I'd like the gift to possibly be for both baby and big brother. I don't want to get clothes since she probably can use all the clothes from baby number one. For example, a double stroller or a bench personalized with both names for the play room! Or even maybe a wagon?

I'd love to hear all of your suggestions and recommendations! What do you think would be a great gift to give? Any other moms of two boys within 2 years apart have any awesome ideas? Also what does a mom or parents of two boys need? Thanks!!!

Diapers were by far my favorite gift!  I had everything else from #1, but you can always use diapers.  I agree that you shouldn't probably bring a gift to the hospital...it's a pain to pack up stuff in there.  

Any toy for the older one would work!  My 2 yr old DS loves any thing CARS (the movie)  related.  Hope that helps:)

I agree with the PP about not bringing a big gift to the hospital.  She probably already has a double stroller picked out, if she's due in August.  One of my favorite gifts were personalized burp cloths for DD2.  Something monogrammed with her DS2's name would be a great idea.  I'm sure there's a ton of cute stuff on etsy.

My favorite gift to come home to was a cookie bouquet! DS loved it, too.

Edible Arrangements are amazing too...I'd also recommend gift cards for takeout places.

If you want a super cute gift, I'd scour Etsy.

What is something Moms/Parents of 2 under 2 need/love? I will make her a meal also. What's something you Moms/Parents of 2 under 2 wish(ed) you had when you had your second or when you got home?
