Present for a third son

[CentralHeating]

Posting here for traffic. Friend has just had a baby boy and I'm trying to find a gift for him. Any ideas for a third son?

A new baby outfit.

I’d get a new lovely baby blanket - it will be ‘his’ blanket rather than the ones his brothers had.

I actually appreciated some new clothes for my DS3. The necklines on a lot of the clothes worn by DS1&3 had yellowed. Similar with muslins, bibs etc. also I had my baby boys within 5 years of each other but the style of clothes had changed quite a lot in that time.

Or something for his room with his name on it. Like a framed pic.

A lovely board book. Like Peepo.

For my third girl I really appreciated a new outfit rather than hand-me-down.

Interesting, I was thinking something other than a new outfit but you lovely ladies think otherwise. Any particular brand? Budget is £30-40ish.

No more blankets. The house will most likely be flooded with blankets from the other babies because people think babies need 20 blankets each. A lovely new outfit 3+ months would be much appreciated, I'm sure.

Any idea what brands your friend normally dresses her kids in? For my third child, second dd I had loads of clothes from her sister. I preferred a gift card for either a clothing shop so I could buy stuff like vests when she needed them or an amazon voucher so I could get her some sensory toys and books when she could make us of them.

For me a new outfit is always welcome, I like Mayoral for that sort of budget.

They don't live in the same country so would rather buy them something than give them a voucher. A friend suggested a bathrobe, anyone wants a bathrobe for their newborn/3m+?

A bathrobe is a picture prop at that age.

A hooded towel serves a similar purpose to the bathrobe but is more useful. Don't get one with weird poppers etc though.

Lift the flap books rarely last 2 children. Agree bathrobe not great. White company or John Lewis for baby clothes

Some nice muslins, in my experience muslins start to look pretty sad and gross by the third child. Fox in the Attic has some stunning ones.

I loved it when my third son received little outfits as the amount of baby clothes you are given as presents greatly reduced with each DC.

I know a few that have had the dinosaur little brother sleep suit in next. It's lovely colours rather than just yet more blue. If they're both in a different season is go for the appropriate sleeping bag or coat too. Lift the flap booked are another one that won't survive 2 boys.

Just had my 4th son and I also loved getting new baby outfits!
