I like Gymboree and Trumpette.<br /> Happiest Baby on the Block book.<br /> Storage bins. I had several people use them as the gift bag for the gift and I use them for all sorts of stuff.<br /> Nursing supplies and after delivery healing supplies. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gift-ideas-1#post-1408328 Fri, 07 Feb 2014 20:04:20 +0000 T.H.O.U. 1408328@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Torchwood: I would put together a first aid basket! That's a lot of stuff she may not be thinking about and all that can add up quickly. </p> <p>Also maybe a nice nursing top for her? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gift-ideas-1#post-1408299 Fri, 07 Feb 2014 19:44:32 +0000 Smurfette 1408299@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nose Frieda and OxiClean!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gift-ideas-1#post-1408274 Fri, 07 Feb 2014 19:24:47 +0000 Boogs 1408274@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Books aren't necessarily things people think of, but they are nice to have, especially the classics. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gift-ideas-1#post-1408058 Fri, 07 Feb 2014 16:57:25 +0000 cascademom 1408058@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A&amp;A blankets, Skip Hop changing station (my new go to gift for expecting moms), Pottery Barn crib sheets, a playmat (doesn't have to be an expensive one either). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gift-ideas-1#post-1407999 Fri, 07 Feb 2014 16:31:34 +0000 LuLu Mom 1407999@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>RNP, Gerber cloth diapers (for burb rags), white onesies, and like above A&amp;A blankets. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gift-ideas-1#post-1407954 Fri, 07 Feb 2014 16:17:14 +0000 Torchwood 1407954@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cmomma17: Ha ha, that one is great! I may have to include that!</p> <p>Thanks for all the suggestions so far! I'll be taking them all into consideration. Keep 'em coming! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gift-ideas-1#post-1407918 Fri, 07 Feb 2014 16:02:02 +0000 cmomma17 1407918@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Also, a giant bottle of stain remover (like shout spray) is my favorite baby shower gift! It's one of the first things I had to send DH out for! People gift you all kinds of adorable outfits, but nobody tells you about poop explosions!!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gift-ideas-1#post-1407903 Fri, 07 Feb 2014 15:54:39 +0000 cmomma17 1407903@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I second both the Aden and Anais blankets and the nose frida! Although I didn't appreciate the NoseFrida until a couple months in. The A&amp;A blankets were wonderful, and they actually make these burp cloth things that turn into bibs when snapped that are amazing too! These: <a href="http://www.amazon.com/aden-anais-Muslin-Burpy-Jungle/dp/B002SW3CAS/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&#038;qid=1391806370&#038;sr=8-1&#038;keywords=aden+and+anais+burpy+bib" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/aden-anais-Muslin-Burpy-Jungle/dp/B002SW3CAS/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&#038;qid=1391806370&#038;sr=8-1&#038;keywords=aden+and+anais+burpy+bib</a></p> <p>A white noise machine is also crucial in my opinion and I love mine soooooo much! It's also a projector (which we are just starting to use with LO now at 9 months). <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Munchkin-Nursery-Projector-Sound-System/dp/B006SFUEF2/ref=sr_1_15?ie=UTF8&#038;qid=1391806439&#038;sr=8-15&#038;keywords=white+noise" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/Munchkin-Nursery-Projector-Sound-System/dp/B006SFUEF2/ref=sr_1_15?ie=UTF8&#038;qid=1391806439&#038;sr=8-15&#038;keywords=white+noise</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gift-ideas-1#post-1407899 Fri, 07 Feb 2014 15:53:19 +0000 heffalump 1407899@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Baby book. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gift-ideas-1#post-1407869 Fri, 07 Feb 2014 15:44:27 +0000 loveisstrange 1407869@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Aden and Anais blankets, and a NoseFrida. lol. Seriously going to be in every baby gift I give from now until the end of time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gift-ideas-1#post-1407863 Fri, 07 Feb 2014 15:40:33 +0000 Torchwood 1407863@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So my cousin (the one who found out she's having a baby in a month) has her registries up, but they're REALLY bare. Like, I'm not even sure there's enough stuff for everyone of her friends and family to have something to buy. Obviously, she may add to them, but given that she only has till next weekend to do so, maybe not. And of course, she's probably getting a lot of gear as loans. But this is someone who didn't want kids and doesn't know much at all about what you need for a baby. </p> <p>So can you recommend something that was a really great item you used a lot, that might not be something a first time mom with no clue would even think of? </p>
