So ladies, I need some ideas. I need to get a baby gift for someone 'fancy'. This woman has several other kids but they are 8 and 10 and is having a new baby at the end of the month. Because the other kids are older, maybe she didn't hold on to much of the hand me downs...?

So I need ideas for something chic, useful, original and not too expensive. Preferably something I can order on line as it needs to be shipped.
Don't know the gender of the baby either.... any ideas?

A few ideas:
*A year of diaper service.
*A gift certificate to the Picture People (or another photographer), so they can take professional baby photos--I think they have packages set up for early baby years.
*Something handmade is always appreciated--do you knit? sew? crochet? There are some fantastic crafting blogs out there with great tutorials/ideas/project instructions. (PM me if you like)
*www.wrybaby.com (fun/funny snapsuits, etc.)
*www.fly-bird.net (ditto)

HTH!

thanks Chow!

some great ideas. They live in a sprawling suburb so I don't know if the diaper service exists also- I don't know her well and I don't know what her diaper .. theory (?) is (disposable? cloth? ) A close relative is a pro photographer but that's a great idea. I'll definitely have to gift that down the road. As for crafting; that's something I reserve for people I am closer to. Seems to mean more.

I did check out wrybaby- some really cute, original onesies and I will check out fly bird next-

thanks!

TheDame - I just sent you a PM...

http://www.cornerstorkbabygifts.com/constellationlight.html I love this item - it is very cute!!

http://www.davidandgoliathtees.com/index.php?mode=HAA - these are a lot of onesies and t-shirts - that are cute, but there are some of those ones that people find offensive.

http://www.poshtots.com/catalog/Gifts/Gifts-Under-50/192/1300/product_list.asp - there are some super cute items on this site too!(Too bad you didn't know the gender!)

A "Diaper Cake" is a really cute gift. Not only is the presentation adorable, the entire thing is useful: diapers and any other fillers that might be added like pacifier, bottle, baby oil, etc. http://www.diapercakewalk.com/catalog.php?all=yes For example:

how about a gift certificate for a massage therapist who makes house calls?!

Could be just what every new mother needs!!!

I agree with the diapercake. that thing came in handy for me! diapers in GENERAL are THE GREATEST GIFT lol

another thing that came in handy for me.. GIFT CARDS!!! they SEEM like not much thought But they honestly were the best thing and much appreciated. I was able to buy milk.. diapers or anything that I didn't get that I needed.

OR... a clothes line.. clothes pins.. and a bunch of ity bitty clothes attached to the clothes line..

=D

Is it bad luck for me to start bookmarking all of this cute stuff even though we aren't going to start trying until December? :D
