I missed a lot of stuff. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-include-in-newborn-gift-basket#post-2625062 Wed, 21 Sep 2016 20:25:12 +0000 wrkbrk 2625062@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nail clippers, newborn body wash/shampoo, baby toothbrush (?), those awesome peach face wipes that smell so good, maybe tiny socks or booties, a rattle or wubanub, newborn mittens, butt paste, aquafor if it's a boy? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-include-in-newborn-gift-basket#post-2625027 Wed, 21 Sep 2016 18:48:34 +0000 MrsSRS 2625027@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The book Baby 411 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-include-in-newborn-gift-basket#post-2624992 Wed, 21 Sep 2016 15:34:52 +0000 gingerbebe 2624992@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The saline to go with the Nose Frida, nail scissors/nail clippers, pacis that AREN'T Avent Soothies, Gripe Water, gas drops, Medela nipple shield if she plans to BF, a Taggies lovey, a pack of Green Sprouts terry bibs, a package of cloth diapers to use as burp cloths, Baby Bum Brush.</p> <p>Also, if you set up a baby registry for Target (literally go online, make one and put like nothing on it, just sign up) and go to customer service at the store, they will give you a new mom's bag that has coupons and samples. I got a Munchkin Latch bottle and a MAM pacifier for free, plus a coupon for a free Starbucks beverage. You can get that and stick it in the basket for your friend. Or if she already has a Target registry, let her know about the bag. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-include-in-newborn-gift-basket#post-2624961 Wed, 21 Sep 2016 14:21:09 +0000 looch 2624961@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Books are always appreciated, even by people that say no gifts, so I would include a couple. I'd do a mix of board books for now and some hardcover for later. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-include-in-newborn-gift-basket#post-2624939 Wed, 21 Sep 2016 13:53:57 +0000 Foodnerd81 2624939@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like the idea of "things I sent my husband out to buy in the middle of the night"- so nose frida, saline nose spray, gas drops, gripe water, infant Tylenol, small diaper rash cream. I also love my light up nail clippers. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-include-in-newborn-gift-basket#post-2624918 Wed, 21 Sep 2016 13:25:16 +0000 josina 2624918@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Baby vicks? Snacky foods for mom post-partum or maybe a gift card to a delivery place? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-include-in-newborn-gift-basket#post-2624911 Wed, 21 Sep 2016 13:13:59 +0000 PinkElephant 2624911@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Also maybe breast pads and lanolin for Mom if she plans on nursing? Avennt even makes a nice kit in a pouch with ice packs, pads, and lanolin. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-include-in-newborn-gift-basket#post-2624909 Wed, 21 Sep 2016 13:11:10 +0000 Cole 2624909@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes to boogie wipes! Maybe zutano booties if they are in your budget. A few different trial size packs of wipes? My daughter couldn't use a bunch so it's a pain to try a bunch of brands and if they don't have issues is always nice to have them for the diaper bag. </p> <p>Maybe a gift card for take out, a box of granola bars and a nice water bottle? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-include-in-newborn-gift-basket#post-2624905 Wed, 21 Sep 2016 13:03:28 +0000 PinkElephant 2624905@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wash cloths (these are always gross after one kid, IMO), higher end bath/lotion products, a bath toy, wipes....(trying not to repeat the earlier ideas).</p> <p>ETA: what about a few types of pacifiers to try and a paci/toy clip? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-include-in-newborn-gift-basket#post-2624897 Wed, 21 Sep 2016 12:47:27 +0000 TapDancer 2624897@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nail clippers, gas drops, pacifier clip </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-include-in-newborn-gift-basket#post-2624896 Wed, 21 Sep 2016 12:46:59 +0000 MrsADS 2624896@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I might add some infant ibuprofen too (although I know it can't be used prior to 6 months). How about boogie wipes and saline nose spray. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-include-in-newborn-gift-basket#post-2624894 Wed, 21 Sep 2016 12:45:08 +0000 Anya 2624894@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Diaper ointment, aquaphor. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-include-in-newborn-gift-basket#post-2624885 Wed, 21 Sep 2016 12:39:11 +0000 erinbaderin 2624885@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nail clippers, some nice baby shampoo and moisturizer, maybe a first year book? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-include-in-newborn-gift-basket#post-2624857 Wed, 21 Sep 2016 12:15:55 +0000 lamariniere 2624857@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Aden and Anais Burpie bibs or Baby Bjorn food catcher bibs? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-include-in-newborn-gift-basket#post-2624834 Wed, 21 Sep 2016 11:44:28 +0000 Pumpkin Pie 2624834@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our friends are having a baby shower kind of get together, but they said no gifts since they don't want a bunch of junk and clutter and expect to get some hand me downs. Id like to make a little basket of newborn essentials. So far I have Tylenol, nose frida, and thermometer. Can you think of anything else that would be good to include? </p>
