Need baby gift for someone who already has everything.

mrs.wildman · February 2012

A dear friend of mine just had a baby. They literally got EVERYTHING from all three of their registries. They're super stylish peeps and live in NYC and have lots of friends with babies so tons of clothes already, and pretty much everything that they "NEED."

Give me suggestions. I'd like to spend $30-50. Maybe a collection of books or something? All of my favorite things were already on the registry, so I can't really think of anything else. Thanks!

Aden + Anais swaddle blankets, Happiest Baby on the Block DVD, Nosefrieda and boogie wipes?

Gift certificate to their favorite eatery that delivers.

Gift certificate for maid service.

Books are always a great gift, in my opinion.

what about just doing a gift bag of all the things that helped you in those first days/months? i did one with a sleep sheep, miracle blanket, soothie pacifiers, boogie wipes, mylicon, slippers and berts beeswax for mom, and a couple more items I can't remember. I wrote little post-its on each item saying when I used it or just something funny.

Etsy print

Miracle blanket (did they register for this? - so many of my new mom friends don't discover this until later)

Oh the Places You'll Go Book - (with a note on what to do with it (have each teacher sign))

I also think classic books are always good. Collection of Curious George Stories. Nice copy of Little Engine that Could, etc. And definitely write an inscription!

iseeme.com has cool personalized books.

One of my favorite gifts that I received this time around was a package of NB diapers that had funny/sweet things written in sharpie on the bum. It was part of a shower game, not really a formal gift but I loved reading the messages during the gazillion middle of the night changes. They said stuff like, "I love Mommy!" or "There's probably something good on cable right now" or "You're doing a great job!" or "Thanks for wiping my butt

" it was a fun twist on a practical gift.

Are you crafty?

Get a nice white frame from Ikea and then make a subway tile style art print w/ a nice quote (maybe something w/ the baby's name in it, or lots of other cute ideas on p i n t e r e s t - I like the Winnie the Pooh quotes personally). Just make it in PS or some graphics software and print on photo paper and have printed locally. What's nice is you can change it up simply - maybe do a new quote/print for each birthday for the kiddo that they can just pop into the frame each year? I did this for DD and I'm thinking it will be my go-to shower gift for the future.

Or, get a nice piggy bank and start a "disney fund" or something cute like that w/ your $30 or so already in it?

Also ditto the food service though, that is ALWAYS nice.

I am a HUGE book lover for kids. Maybe you could get an assortment of books for them like you mentioned? Maybe D's fave book + your fave book as a kid and your DH's fave book as a kid? Personal and sweet at the same time.

This will be less than you want to spend but you could add a couple of books to it. On Etsy they have those monthly stickers you put on onesies and take pictures of your baby each month. Those are always a hit with a onesie for each month. I don't know if the baby will be in daycare, but I have also given those name labels which are always a hit. They have really cute ones on namebubbles.com.
