Basically anything she likes, but feels a bit bad spending $$ on! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-baby-gift-for-2nd-time-team-green-mama#post-1936790 Sun, 09 Nov 2014 16:37:29 +0000 78h2o 1936790@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@SeptMomma12: We loved our A&amp;A bibs!</p> <p>@hilsy85: Does she have a carrier she likes? Maybe an Ergo? I'd think a carrier would come in handy if she is also chasing a toddler.</p> <p>@jedeve: as far as sentimental gifts, we got this from Red Envelope and loved it: <a href="http://gifts.redenvelope.com/productdetail.aspx?cobrand=RED&#038;pid=30000224&#038;ssid=4&#038;REF=REDFeedGooglePLA&#038;cvosrc=Shopping.GooglePLA.30000224&#038;CAWELAID=1810791022&#038;catargetid=130004190000097043&#038;cadevice=c&#038;gclid=CJuTtMW97sECFezm7Aodb0IACA" rel="nofollow">http://gifts.redenvelope.com/productdetail.aspx?cobrand=RED&#038;pid=30000224&#038;ssid=4&#038;REF=REDFeedGooglePLA&#038;cvosrc=Shopping.GooglePLA.30000224&#038;CAWELAID=1810791022&#038;catargetid=130004190000097043&#038;cadevice=c&#038;gclid=CJuTtMW97sECFezm7Aodb0IACA</a><br /> It comes with 3 matting options, so it's perfect for someone who is TG. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-baby-gift-for-2nd-time-team-green-mama#post-1936758 Sun, 09 Nov 2014 15:39:48 +0000 Mrs. Jump Rope 1936758@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@hilsy85: since our oldest was born (3yrs) they've come out with a rockaroo &amp; a rocking RnP (that might not be released yet).</p> <p>I would be thrilled to get either of those!</p> <p>And the ergo360- we want one, but can't find one anywhere! Going nuts looking for one haha </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-baby-gift-for-2nd-time-team-green-mama#post-1936703 Sun, 09 Nov 2014 14:23:45 +0000 SeptMomma12 1936703@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have heard great things about the A&amp;A bibs. They didn't have those 2 years ago when my son was born. And you can always use new bibs - I know our old ones are disgusting. Maybe a bunch of bibs along with some new swaddle blankets and a lovey. Kinda like an A&amp;A gift set. Their stuff is so great but more than someone typically wants to spend on themself!</p> <p><a href="http://www.buybuybaby.com/store/product/aden-trade-by-aden-anais-reg-3-pack-burpy-bib-in-twinkle/1042564256" rel="nofollow">http://www.buybuybaby.com/store/product/aden-trade-by-aden-anais-reg-3-pack-burpy-bib-in-twinkle/1042564256</a></p> <p><a href="http://www.buybuybaby.com/store/product/aden-anais-reg-100-cotton-muslin-lovey-blanket-in-white-green/1042308379" rel="nofollow">http://www.buybuybaby.com/store/product/aden-anais-reg-100-cotton-muslin-lovey-blanket-in-white-green/1042308379</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-baby-gift-for-2nd-time-team-green-mama#post-1936690 Sun, 09 Nov 2014 14:11:54 +0000 hilsy85 1936690@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Cole: that is a great idea actually--I know she mentioned wanting to try out baby wearing more with #2. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-baby-gift-for-2nd-time-team-green-mama#post-1936685 Sun, 09 Nov 2014 14:07:30 +0000 Cole 1936685@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Will the new baby be born in the same season as her first? A really nice bunting or other cold weather gear might be helpful. </p> <p>Some type of baby wearing option might be helpful too if she doesn't already have something she loves. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-baby-gift-for-2nd-time-team-green-mama#post-1936679 Sun, 09 Nov 2014 14:03:09 +0000 hilsy85 1936679@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@jedeve: all fab ideas! I love the snack basket idea, but maybe will send that once the baby is here (we're throwing the sprinkle in November bc of holidays, so I feel like the snacks would be gone :silly: ). I agree that 2nd babes usually just get hand me downs so something of their own would be nice. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-baby-gift-for-2nd-time-team-green-mama#post-1936678 Sun, 09 Nov 2014 14:01:34 +0000 jedeve 1936678@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My ideal baby gift would be;</p> <p>A big basket of snacks I could eat one handed. Lots of protein bars and chocolate and nuts.<br /> A gift card to Papa Murphy's or something easy.<br /> A gift card for a pedicure or a nice bottle of lotion/lip gloss/Something pampering.<br /> A new set of A&amp;A blankets. Or something sentimental. Second kids have the practical stuff but not the sentimental stuff. </p> <p>Or a gift card to a local photographer so they can get family pictures. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-baby-gift-for-2nd-time-team-green-mama#post-1936676 Sun, 09 Nov 2014 13:59:03 +0000 hilsy85 1936676@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@BandDmommy: great idea, we did that for another sprinkle we threw last month! It's going on the list if ideas as well :) </p> <p>@lawbee11: I'm always hesitant to buy diapers since I feel like people are so specific...? or maybe it's just around here. Like I know some moms who ONLY use honest co diapers, and others who ONLY use earth's best. I think that is an AWESOME gift though and I am saving it in case someone asks me what to get when I am pregnant again! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-baby-gift-for-2nd-time-team-green-mama#post-1936675 Sun, 09 Nov 2014 13:56:59 +0000 lawbee11 1936675@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@hilsy85: I think there are websites that do diaper bundles. Like you can give the gift of diapers for a year or 6 months (if she's doing disposables). I would love that as a gift! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-baby-gift-for-2nd-time-team-green-mama#post-1936673 Sun, 09 Nov 2014 13:55:47 +0000 BandDmommy 1936673@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@hilsy85: or maybe for her, a gift certificate for mani/pedi? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-baby-gift-for-2nd-time-team-green-mama#post-1936671 Sun, 09 Nov 2014 13:54:50 +0000 hilsy85 1936671@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs.Pinecone316: ah would be so much easier if we could ask :silly: we are throwing a surprise sprinkle though. </p> <p>@BandDmommy: we may do a gift certificate for a restaurant in our neighborhood! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-baby-gift-for-2nd-time-team-green-mama#post-1936667 Sun, 09 Nov 2014 13:52:38 +0000 Mrs.Pinecone316 1936667@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>my best friend was team green with #2 and we just asked her what she could use and pitched in for a new baby monitor. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-baby-gift-for-2nd-time-team-green-mama#post-1936666 Sun, 09 Nov 2014 13:52:27 +0000 BandDmommy 1936666@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>How about bringing over food? Or a gift card for food? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-baby-gift-for-2nd-time-team-green-mama#post-1936661 Sun, 09 Nov 2014 13:46:46 +0000 hilsy85 1936661@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Foodnerd81: pretty sure the baby will be in her room, I think she has a bassinet from her first kid though. I also love the look of that bassinet! Maybe next time :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-baby-gift-for-2nd-time-team-green-mama#post-1936659 Sun, 09 Nov 2014 13:44:30 +0000 Foodnerd81 1936659@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@hilsy85: Do you know where the baby will sleep when it's born? I hear of a lot of 2nd times moms talking about changing their initial set up. And I think the Halo Bassinest looks awesome and want one when we have another :)<br /> <a href="http://www.pregnantchicken.com/pregnant-chicken-blog/halo-bassinest-review?rq=bassinet" rel="nofollow">http://www.pregnantchicken.com/pregnant-chicken-blog/halo-bassinest-review?rq=bassinet</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-baby-gift-for-2nd-time-team-green-mama#post-1936650 Sun, 09 Nov 2014 13:38:09 +0000 hilsy85 1936650@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cmomma17: he's almost 2.5, so not tooo long since she had a newborn. Hm that's a good idea though, maybe I"ll look at some of the stuff that was at the last baby expo! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-baby-gift-for-2nd-time-team-green-mama#post-1936647 Sun, 09 Nov 2014 13:37:09 +0000 cmomma17 1936647@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@hilsy85: ooh nice, how old is her older LO? I wonder if there is some newer/trendier baby item that has come along since he was born? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-baby-gift-for-2nd-time-team-green-mama#post-1936645 Sun, 09 Nov 2014 13:35:23 +0000 hilsy85 1936645@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cmomma17: A&amp;A blankets are always a good idea! Also just edited the original post to reflect that it will be a group gift so maybe the swaddles plus something else! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-baby-gift-for-2nd-time-team-green-mama#post-1936639 Sun, 09 Nov 2014 13:33:28 +0000 cmomma17 1936639@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@hilsy85: diapers/wipes/diapercream + something nice like a new set of A&amp;A swaddle blankets? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-baby-gift-for-2nd-time-team-green-mama#post-1936630 Sun, 09 Nov 2014 13:30:19 +0000 hilsy85 1936630@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Any ideas for a good baby/new mom gift for a mom expecting her 2nd LO in January? She is team green and has an older son that she was also team green for. Thanks!</p> <p>ETA this will be a group gift from 4 of us, so it can be a bit on the more expensive/bigger side. </p>
