If you think ahead you can really please the mom to be. Nothing is more welcome than a 2T, 3T, or up outfit amidst all those teeny tiny clothes. The same goes for toddler size sandals. These are kits where the parents mix the plaster and make an imprint of the infant or toddlers hand and foot. This is an inexpensive thoughtful gift, as well as, an activity for the parents and baby to do together.
Picture frames are also great for sentimental gifts.
And as any new parent can tell you, you can never have too many nice picture frames. If you buy an attractive basket and stock it with all the definite needs of a new baby, you ll have a winner. A pack of receiving blankets, Vaseline, gas drops, onesies, cloth diapers for burping, a brush and comb set, baby shampoo and soap, a teething ring and to round it out a pack of newborn diapers. A classic like Charlotte s Web is a great gift. Also, lots of major book chains offer special editions of classics printed by their own publisher for much less than the original cover price.
