To ask what your best baby gift was?

[JudgeRindersMinder]

A relative has just had a very long time awaited baby girl. My mind has gone blank as to what gift to give them and her.
With a budget of £50, what was the best baby gift you received that wasn’t clothes or equipment?

Cook voucher.

Car seat blanket that will fit this winter

Asda gift card, I think it was £100 but £50 would still be fab, I bought nappies and wipes and milk until it ran out

They’ll have babysitters coming out of their ears and we’re quite a distance away so that’s off the table!

A huge tub of Sufdocream.

Morrck blanket or COOK vouchers - www.cookfood.net

There are some great little personalised books on Etsy, the ones I’ve got are about finding their name or a personalised story of their life.

Some bunting with her name spelled out on it. She still has it on her bedroom door and she’s nearly 9!

A sensory kit box. You could make your own or companies will make them and send them out.

Tuppence and crumble star wrap

www.tesco.com/groceries/en-GB/products/265885836 These are also great and so cheap! Can be used for teething but also holding things on buggy and to get baby used to different textures.

I can only imagine the size of a £50 tub of sudocrem

That’s a brilliant idea-the subscription is v tempting- this is definitely on the list to consider !

A cast iron Le Creuset casserole dish. Still have it 9 years later, and still love it.

DD1 got a stripy cloth with a bears head from my dad when she was born - Mr Sucky Bear - my god she loved him - he fell to bits when she was 7 so we got another version - she's 19 and still sleeps with him!

Aden and anais muslins were amazing, a insulated cup, a nappy changing box that we keep in the lounge with all the bits in it, a Ewan the sheep,

Homemade food - ready to cook, an ear thermometer, a gro egg and a bouncer

A morrck

I give these as gifts to everyone and they all continue to buy the next size

I remember getting a bumper pack of babywipes from someone that lasted ages

That’s adorable! Added to the list!

Wonderbly name book, really nice rhymes for his name and it'll stay with him a long time.

With summer coming up and a chance of finally getting out with a baby, a large snoozeshade for the pushchair could be nice. (Don't bother with small as the big one will fit fine and last longer).

Babyblooms gift box, used all the items and used the box it came in as a memory box. Gutted I didn't get one with my second baby.
Play mat
Bouncy chair
Silver photo frames
Baby blanket

Lunch delivered - that was an absolute life saver on day 3!

I would agree with the sensory box suggestion! My six month old has gotten so much use out of hers. I would say the most useful presents we received were books and baby sleeping bags.

A massive bag of newborn size nappies wrapped around a box of celebrations (which, sadly, was empty) in there like a cake.

I would have liked nipple shields and infacol since we didn't get these until after we needed them. A baby keepsake box would be lovely too. I need to get one to keep things like the cards we got, pictures, hair from first haircut egg.

I've been given 3 baby memory books and haven't touched a single one due to never have both hands free 😂
