Bit stuck for ideas. Think friend will have plenty of baby clothes/toys due to this being ds2. What would you send for her/baby/4yo ds1? Tia!

Things that she wouldn't have from dc1, for example baby toiletries (organic babies do a nice gift pack), or vouchers for a shop with a good baby department eg John Lewis.

I have always loved a new shower gel, body shop do a lovely satsuma one, which is great for waking up after a sleepless night! And a good body moisturiser - I think the body shop body butters get good reviews but dove always gets my vote. Chocolates too! For 4 year old, sticker books? Something to do whilst sitting with mummy when baby feeding? Asda m&s etc often have a little cardboard case type thing of a set of books, or usborne sticker books are great (Amazon or whs). For baby how about a new fluffy baby towel? Lots of second babies have the recycled baby towels from dc1. Just my thoughts from recent gifts with dc3. Babygros in 3-6 always welcome too.

My standard gift is a large block of cadburys chocolate for the mum and a cbeebies magazine for the big brother/sister. I always get a polite thank you, followed a couple of days later by a text saying they never thought they'd eat that much chocolate, but it's all gone already!

Oh - and a friend bought me brownies-by-post, which I thought was awesome. (You may notice a theme here!)
