Gift ideas for a second baby

[Intergalactic]

Not sure if this is the right topic to post this, but anyway...

I'm due DC2 in the next couple of weeks. My friends were asking last night what sort of things they might get as a gift. DS is only 19 months so we really have pretty much everything we need. We don't know the sex but we didn't last time either so we have plenty of unisex baby clothes. We even have comforter-type toys that DS never took to which I thought I'd try with DC2.

I'm big into baby slings so they've suggested they could club together to get me one. But I wanted to give them a couple of cheaper ideas too, in case they find it a hassle getting organised or just want to spend less. So, any suggestions of nice things that we might not have already got for DC1? I was thinking possibly Figleaves vouchers so that I can get another nursing bra or two, but is that a bit greedy/unpleasant?

If you were my friend I'd think vouchers for a nursing bra were a very sensible thing to ask for. Certainly not greedy or unpleasant.

Other things that might be needed whatever a second time round - nice chocolates or boxes of biscuits to help you keep your energy levels up. Food to stash in the freezer so you don't have to cook. Something for your older child so he doesn't feel left out.

If they have asked what you want it is because they want to get something helpful so I'd take them at their word and not fret too much about asking for something appropriate.
