Gift for second baby?

PumpkinAndThePeanutPumpkinAndThePeanut member
in May 2013 Moms
My friend recently had her second baby girl (older sister is not quite 2) and I'd like to send her a gift but not sure what. She'll have tons of clothes since baby #2 is the same sex as baby #1. She lives in another state and I'd like to get her something I can order on Amazon and have shipped directly to her. STMs, what are some things you needed or would have liked to have for your second LO?

Thanks!

    I'm not a STM, but I have three friends having their second. I'm gifting diapers and wipes to each of them.

    Figured I can't go wrong.

    Is she in a position to buy the things she wants herself? If so, I'd get something personalized. If not, I'd send a card with a gift card.

    I was about to suggest the same thing.

    Something cute off etsy. Like those homemade burp clothes or personalized gift off there.

    I would also suggest diapers and wipes. If I could go back I would probably make 75% of my registry diapers.

    Same on wipes and diapers. also love PP on etsy stuff. I love personalizing and monograming. Maybe a personalized boppy cover or a blanket with new baby's name or initials?

    Gift cards! Those are really helpful. Depending on the age gap she may still need new clothes. Where my boys are 19 months apart they were total opposite seasons so I still need new clothes for DS2. I don't see him rocking his big brothers shorts in this weather.

    If you're getting her something off Amazon, I got this for DS2 and it's amazing:

    I vote for diapers and wipes. Could you also check to see if she happened to create a registry? Maybe a wish list on Amazon?

    Thanks for all the suggestions! Diapers are a good idea but I don't know if she's using cloth or disposables. Maybe I'll have a look on Etsy and get something cute and personalized for both little girls.

    Just a thought a lot of second time moms (myself included) use subscription diapers like Amazon and Honest Company. I would think things from Etsy or something to make her life easier would be the way to go. Some of the coolest gifts I've ever gotten were off the beaten path.

    I had never heard of Honest Co. until I received a gift card via email from co-workers. I think that would make a great gift because there are a variety of things to choose from. I'm also buying for a second time mom and I think I'm going that route.

    ^ I use their wipes and multi-surface cleaner. That's a really good idea, there is a lot to choose from.

    I loved getting personalized stuff for my boys, especially those "big brother/little brother" types of things.

If you're going the personalized route, this might be up your alley. A family friend got a tiger for our LO and I just ordered this giraffe for a friend whose nursery is jungle themed. I think they also have a puppy and a lamb. Pretty cute and kinda different.
