Also her stroller blanket from Dwell Studio... She's almost 4 yo now and still loves and uses this blanket alot.</p> <p>for Baby 2.0: PBK hooded towel (pink bunny one) personalized with her first and middle names </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-were-your-favorite-gifts-for-the-baby#post-30043 Thu, 08 Dec 2011 23:06:31 +0000 Boogs 30043@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>1. Crib &amp; dresser (a lot of $$ we didn't have to pay!)</p> <p>2. His swing. He used this probably more than any other gift. </p> <p>3. Hand me down clothes, we seriously have a small fortune in free clothes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-were-your-favorite-gifts-for-the-baby#post-30028 Thu, 08 Dec 2011 22:21:57 +0000 sunshine44 30028@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We got a few very cute outfits that will be perfect for the holiday season. A few personalized items with her name on it and a few homemade nameplates for her room that I love.<br /> @Artbee, I'm with you on the cleaning lady!! The hubs and I agreed it was critical to our mental health to have someone come in and help us out! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-were-your-favorite-gifts-for-the-baby#post-29724 Thu, 08 Dec 2011 11:42:31 +0000 eupenmalmody 29724@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I especially loved receiving all of the practical gifts that I needed: bassinet, pack-n-play, high chair, stroller, carseat, bottles, etc. My freinds and family were very practical with their gift giving and I really appreciated that. Of course we did receive a lot of clothing, but the practical gifts stand out in my mind! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-were-your-favorite-gifts-for-the-baby#post-29638 Thu, 08 Dec 2011 10:07:55 +0000 heffalump 29638@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@autumnlove: We also got burp cloths that have our college football teams on them.</p> <p>Another favorite I forgot was a little etsy dress. Each side is our college football teams, they're rivals. That way we didn't have to fight over what to dress her in! And she gave us a house divided picture frame so we could take her picture in the dress and put it in there. So cute! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-were-your-favorite-gifts-for-the-baby#post-29632 Thu, 08 Dec 2011 09:59:56 +0000 autumnlove 29632@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>These were my favorite gifts!</p> <p>1. Breast Pump! A few of our friends chipped in a bought us a double electric pump and lots of accessories.</p> <p>2. Personalized items- burp cloths &amp; hooded towels.</p> <p>3. Lots of books for LO! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-were-your-favorite-gifts-for-the-baby#post-29607 Thu, 08 Dec 2011 08:28:28 +0000 heffalump 29607@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We've talked about our least favorite gifts, but what were your favorite gifts? Mine were:</p> <p>1. Newborn Photoshoot. This is something I couldn't afford, and I'm so glad we have those beautiful pictures! I always look at them, and even though my LO is only 4 months old, she already looks so different. I'm so glad we captured her at her newest.</p> <p>2. Cleaning Lady. Ok, that isn't for the baby, but it was a gift when the baby came. And one of my top favorites. My grandma gave her cleaning lady to me every 2 weeks, and it's been amazing!</p> <p>3. Personalized Items. This is one of the reasons I'm glad we had a name ready. We got soooooo much personalized stuff! My LO's name is Rose, so if it doesn't say her name on it, it's has a rose on it. It's all perfect for her!</p> <p>What were your favorite gifts? Or what gifts are you hoping to get? </p>
