Best welcome baby gift for 2nd child?

Mrs.CarlybellaMrs.Carlybella member

funny I can't think of anything even though I will be in this situation in 2 months-  but friends of ours just had their 2nd, 18 mos apart, and we are going to see them and I am at a loss what to bring.

I already brought an outfit to the hospital, they have all the baby gear, they have tons of clothes (although #1 was a boy and this one a girl- the momma is a Shopper), and I am seeing them friday so a personalized item isn't an option.

I want to spend around 40 bucks give or take-  any suggestions?

thanks!

    For the baby: a really nice teether is a great option. It's nice for the new baby to have their own fresh toy to chew on.

     

    For the family: Trays of fruit/veggies/ect. from a grocery store would probably be awesome. With a new baby it's hard to cook/shop. I really appreciated the food people brought us as it made it easier for me to feed our toddler when I was home alone with the 2.

    food is always nice for the family and for a friend that had a boy first I bought a boy baby doll so he can take care of his baby while mommy is taking care of hers... 

    for the baby... an outfit that fits the season for 3 or 6 months.

    I would have liked to receive a baby book or picture frame for DD2. I got a couple of new blankets so they each could have their own. DD2 got her own FP seahorse which I'm glad for.

    Food.

    Preferably something home made and frozen so they can eat it later.

    And an offer to take their oldest on a play date with you guys would probably be well received also!

    If you specifically want something for the baby I'd go with clothes but in a MUCH larger size - even up to a year - especially if the Mom's a shopper. 

    Our IF journey: 1 m/c, 1 IVF with only 3 eggs retrieved yielding Dylan and a lost twin, 1 shocker unmedicated BFP resulting in Jace, 3 more unmedicated pregnancies ending in more losses.
    Total score: 6 pregnancies, 5 losses, 2 amazing blessings that I'm thankful for every single day.

    Something just for the new baby:   blanket, stuff animal, piggy bank, photo album, toy, FP seahorse, keepsake box, etc.

    I alway appreciated that kind of stuff for subsequent babies, especially the  same gender.
