It was a little boring and I wanted to buy her All The Things.<br /> My SIL is having a baby with her partner &amp; I made them a customizable baby book because none of the ones in the store come for Mom &amp; Mom :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-would-you-buy-for-a-new-mom#post-976730 Tue, 30 Jul 2013 20:26:48 +0000 Smurfette 976730@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just bought a gift for a friend. I am throwing the shower by myself so I didn't spend as much on her gift. I just got her the activity mat she registered for. I almost got her a Ktan but she didn't register for it. Given how much I talk about how much I love it, I guess she wants something else if she didn't register for it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-would-you-buy-for-a-new-mom#post-976725 Tue, 30 Jul 2013 20:24:06 +0000 heartonastring 976725@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@matador84: Love your ideas! A good friend did something similar for me and got me a bunch of her "mom favorites" including things like Lansinoh breast pads and lanolin, a waterproof crib mattress protector and a bunch of other stuff that I wouldn't have known about as a FTM. It was so appreciated! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-would-you-buy-for-a-new-mom#post-976715 Tue, 30 Jul 2013 20:21:10 +0000 heartonastring 976715@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My SILs and MIL got me a gift card to a place that preps, portions and freezes homemade meals.</p> <p>Best. Gift. Ever. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-would-you-buy-for-a-new-mom#post-976701 Tue, 30 Jul 2013 20:14:38 +0000 matador84 976701@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I know those are just some things that might never be used, but sure nice to have on hand and not have to run to the store to get! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-would-you-buy-for-a-new-mom#post-976666 Tue, 30 Jul 2013 20:02:12 +0000 lomom 976666@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@matador84: oh good call on the gas drops! We had a few rough days before we ventured out for gas drops! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-would-you-buy-for-a-new-mom#post-976665 Tue, 30 Jul 2013 20:01:31 +0000 Raindrop 976665@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wow that's a lot of stuff. You are so nice!</p> <p>I would probably just get a set of swaddle blankets because I thought they were useful to us. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-would-you-buy-for-a-new-mom#post-976661 Tue, 30 Jul 2013 20:00:38 +0000 matador84 976661@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I guess it depends on what they need. A recent gift included a moms on call book, a white noise machine, swaddle blankets, gripe water, gas drops, and baby Vicks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-would-you-buy-for-a-new-mom#post-976655 Tue, 30 Jul 2013 19:58:16 +0000 lomom 976655@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd probably get her a Camelbak water bottle, a gift card to wherever she registered, and probably a case of diapers or wipes!</p> <p>What would you get a new mom? </p>
