If you have a friend who is having a baby but isn't having a baby shower, so there isn't a registry, what is your go-to gift?
Do you go for practical, fun or a mix of both? Or do you just flat out ask them what they need/want?
-
My go to is saline spray, colic calm, gas drops, Vaseline, gripe water, infant Motrin, and usually a thermometer! All the crap that had us running out in the middle of the night with out first child.
-
I usually ask them what they need/want but if not, I'll send Aden and Anais swaddles and a Sophie!
-
Zipadeezip!
-
I go for a pile of my favorite stuff!
-
I get them a care package of stuff that they'll probably need in the middle of the night - haha. It usually has saline, gas drops, gripe water, teething tablets, etc.
-
I usually do some of my favorite swaddle blankets or some thicker blankets from Nordstrom. I feel like you can never have too many.
I agree about the medicines and such though. The practical gifts are the best.
-
Lately I've been doing books that my DD loved as a baby. With DD we were gifted enough blankets to swaddle all the babies on our street, so I tend to steer clear of giving those
-
I like to buy new moms (first kid) a few of LO's favorite baby toys and books. Always Freddie the Firefly - he is like baby crack
-
Aden and Anais swaddle blankets, they are so versatile!
-
Carters zipper footed PJs, a few different kinds of bottles to try out, bibs and wash cloths, and a first aid kit with saline, gas drops, baby Tylenol, gripe water, Nose Frida + replacement filters, baby nail clippers, and thermometer.
-
Sophie and A&A blankets, and something little and fun like a small jellycat, or baby sunglasses.
-
Used to be an exerSaucer which is still great but after having my own I realize that things you can use right away and for a long time are best. Carters Footed sleepers (one in each size through a year), halo sleep sack with swaddle panels, white onesies (a pack in each size), and A+A blankets are some faves.

Boppy with a cover and a nosefrida.

A basket of my favourite things!

Usually a gift card, but with a small "something" like a picture frame.
