I agree, a cute monogrammed bath towel or something that's just his/hers. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/good-gift-for-third-time-mama#post-2467611 Fri, 19 Feb 2016 10:30:25 +0000 Baby Boy Mom 2467611@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm expecting my third and what I would like most is either a nice carrier (because I know I liked carrying my other two), or a basket of all the baby toiletries because pretty much everything needs to be refreshed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/good-gift-for-third-time-mama#post-2467539 Fri, 19 Feb 2016 09:42:56 +0000 oliviaoblivia 2467539@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just had my third.<br /> The things that made me happy....</p> <p>New hooded baby towels, my old ones were ratty from heavy use with my older two.</p> <p>Monogrammed stuff. We don't"need" anything so I have a hard time buying things we already have but it's nice for her to have some things that are only hers.</p> <p>People to hang out with my older two so I can sit and gaze at the baby. My oldest has me staring at her 24/7, this one gets fed and then popped into the swing or carrier because my other two need me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/good-gift-for-third-time-mama#post-2467476 Fri, 19 Feb 2016 09:13:32 +0000 snowjewelz 2467476@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The first thing I think of is stuff for her since this is her 3rd rodeo! Well, actually, maybe a few cute new things for baby wouldn't be so bad either, maybe bibs? Since hand me down bibs are probably kinda gross... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/good-gift-for-third-time-mama#post-2467456 Fri, 19 Feb 2016 09:04:38 +0000 Littlebit7 2467456@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A neat print ? A quilt from etsy?<br /> <a href="http://www.theanimalprintshop.com/Art-for-Nursery/" rel="nofollow">http://www.theanimalprintshop.com/Art-for-Nursery/</a></p> <p>A cool modern mobile?<br /> <a href="http://www.wayfair.com/Artecnica-Themis-Decor-Mobile-F9182MCMP0-AIC1065.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.wayfair.com/Artecnica-Themis-Decor-Mobile-F9182MCMP0-AIC1065.html</a></p> <p>My sil had a third and she said she felt like people sort of neglected the last baby. Not as many sweet thoughtful gifts as the first and second. She said she didn't need a lot of gear. You could get something for mom now and then wait until after the birth and get something monogrammed or personalized for baby once you know the deets. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/good-gift-for-third-time-mama#post-2467382 Fri, 19 Feb 2016 08:23:06 +0000 NavyRN2012 2467382@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For my third, I'd have loved some personalized things. I don't know if you can do that though since she's TG. I really like the idea of a breastfeeding basket. I can tell you that I'd have not really cared much for pampering things. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/good-gift-for-third-time-mama#post-2467336 Fri, 19 Feb 2016 07:07:07 +0000 rachiecakes 2467336@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>As much as I loved my ring sling &amp; swaddles as gifts, my baby did not, so they never got much use. You just never know.</p> <p>I'd do sown thing for her - a gift certificate, mani-pedi, massage, restaurant. Or a nice robe. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/good-gift-for-third-time-mama#post-2467284 Fri, 19 Feb 2016 00:36:27 +0000 CRGmama 2467284@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I definitely think something for her! Massage or mani/pedi. Gift certificate for house cleaning? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/good-gift-for-third-time-mama#post-2467277 Fri, 19 Feb 2016 00:27:23 +0000 hummusgirl 2467277@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I only have two kids but this recent time around, I've really appreciated personalized stuff for my new LO. I like that he has some nice things just for him, considering 99% of his stuff is hand-me-down. For example:<br /> - Name train: <a href="http://www.rootinridge.com/page4.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.rootinridge.com/page4.html</a><br /> - Puzzle stool: <a href="http://www.damhorsttoys.com/name-puzzle-stools-small/" rel="nofollow">http://www.damhorsttoys.com/name-puzzle-stools-small/</a><br /> - Blanket: <a href="http://www.potterybarnkids.com/products/7116077/?catalogId=27&#038;sku=7116077&#038;bnrid=3580801&#038;cm_ven=Google_PLA&#038;cm_cat=Shopping&#038;cm_pla=Home%20page&#038;cm_ite=Datafeed&#038;gclid=CjwKEAiA9JW2BRDxtaq2ruDg22oSJACgtTxcShtm6waxv7tpKVCANhwptbhUf4EU8NZk-dEg6Y3p4RoC9erw_wcB&#038;kwid=productads-plaid" rel="nofollow">http://www.potterybarnkids.com/products/7116077/?catalogId=27&#038;sku=7116077&#038;bnrid=3580801&#038;cm_ven=Google_PLA&#038;cm_cat=Shopping&#038;cm_pla=Home%20page&#038;cm_ite=Datafeed&#038;gclid=CjwKEAiA9JW2BRDxtaq2ruDg22oSJACgtTxcShtm6waxv7tpKVCANhwptbhUf4EU8NZk-dEg6Y3p4RoC9erw_wcB&#038;kwid=productads-plaid</a>^64052900215-sku^7116077-adType^PLA-device^c-adid^44456368900 </p> <p>Amazon or AmEx gift cards are always appreciated too, of course! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/good-gift-for-third-time-mama#post-2467269 Fri, 19 Feb 2016 00:07:26 +0000 jedeve 2467269@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What about a new bathrobe? Pajamas you can nurse in? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/good-gift-for-third-time-mama#post-2467267 Fri, 19 Feb 2016 00:04:55 +0000 tofuwad 2467267@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My SIL is pregnant with her third and fourth daughter right now and we bought her a prenatal massage gift card and she was so so happy. My MIL also gave me a coupon for babysitting to add to the gift card. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/good-gift-for-third-time-mama#post-2467052 Thu, 18 Feb 2016 20:45:08 +0000 T.H.O.U. 2467052@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What about a nice swaddle set with a burp cloth and bib? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/good-gift-for-third-time-mama#post-2467050 Thu, 18 Feb 2016 20:42:49 +0000 creativemomma15 2467050@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am expecting my third and have one of each already... I would love a nice carrier or ring sling for this one! I also like the pampering for her idea... Maybe a gift card for a prenatal massage? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/good-gift-for-third-time-mama#post-2467008 Thu, 18 Feb 2016 20:06:49 +0000 pinkb 2467008@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Since it would be her 3rd baby I say make it more about her. Mani/pedi gift card or maybe relaxing bath supplies. Atleast I would like that since it would be my third. It would be a nice mental break ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/good-gift-for-third-time-mama#post-2466999 Thu, 18 Feb 2016 19:57:53 +0000 gingerbebe 2466999@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A Marpac Dohm. A humidifier. Diapers/diaper cake. Really nice crib sheets (like the A&amp;A ones). New bibs. Zipper footed sleepers. An extra camera for the video monitor? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/good-gift-for-third-time-mama#post-2466985 Thu, 18 Feb 2016 19:48:38 +0000 regberadaisy 2466985@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think it depends on the person? I would hate for you to spend $$$$ on a ring sling or fancy muslin swaddles. Both my first two hated swaddling and I have more blankets than I know what to do with. I really do not need more blankets!!!!!!</p> <p>Maybe a Arsenal of infant meds? Not fun but absolutely necessary. And she's probably all out if her older two are much older. Then maybe something personalized for baby 2? And something fun for mom? I would personally love a fun fancy nursing top! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/good-gift-for-third-time-mama#post-2466955 Thu, 18 Feb 2016 19:18:12 +0000 mrsbubbletea 2466955@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What should I get a really good friend who is having her third baby? They don't know the sex, she has one of each. I want to spend like ~100 (plus or minus for the perfect gift). She hosted my work shower and came to my family shower. </p> <p>My ideas are:<br /> -Sakura bloom Ring sling (I love mine! But I don't know if she is really into baby wearing now that I look back, it's been a while since she had a little baby)<br /> -fancy muslin swaddles, probably bamboo a&amp;a or another brand (I know she had some regular ones, but I also know she loved them)<br /> -something else maybe geared towards her? Like a big gift basket with breastfeeding supplies or something (con: more work for me! Plus: probably more cost effective and could seem like more effort therefore more special?) </p>
