i'm trying to get a gift for a fried, due in a few weeks. This is her third babe so she has most stuff she needs. thought i could get her a few useful gadgets/products for her/baby... seen some good ones in the JoJo Maman catalogue. Anyone got any other suggestions?

gift for a friend.... that should have read!

You copuld get her something for herself like a massage or facial and just get something practical for baby like nappies/wipes etc.

More nursing bras, more disposable knickers, more muslin cloths and take her round some food and/or help her with the dishes etc after the baby comes. That's definitely what I needed more of.

one of those coffee cups that keep your drink hot!

have already thought of a thermos thingy for keeping babyfood hot, ice cube trays with lids for making up homemade stuff when weaning, a portable change mat. She hates facials etc and I'll of course be doing the helping out stuff anyway....

any other ideas, what items have you found most helpful?

How about a Baby Feed Wheel .You can get a yellow one if your friend doesn't know what sort of baby she's having!

wow bettythebuilder - I would have loved that!

I always wanted a bottle warmer to plug into the car cigarette lighter for long journeys.

When I had my DS, one of the best gifts I received was a survival pack. My friend got a large box & filled it with baby essentials like nappies & wipes, some breast pads, some salt for my bath & a large bottle of bacardi!

Promise her some babysitting. Having had my 3rd last year I would have really appreciated someone to give me time off, even an hour or two, just for me to read, or shop, or even sleep
