Another good idea for Dad, or any guy in your life, would be to put some sports bloopers tapes in a basket with some munchie-type foods, and maybe even tickets to his favorite sporting event, or coupons stating that they get to watch a certain game with friends.
Expectant mothers can sometimes be difficult to find useful and inexpensive gifts for.
You could create a gift basket, filled with things like diapers, baby bottles, wipes, spit up cloths, rattles and diaper pins. You can decorate it with pink and blue ribbons or go with a more neutral color in green or yellow. You take a package of disposable diapers and roll one up. In the center, you could hide a small rattle or a couple of pacifiers, or even a bottle brush, then roll the diaper up around it. Then put rubber bands around it to keep it from unrolling.
