New baby gift for family moving abroad?

9 replies

Kristingle · 02/01/2006 12:26

I am totally stuck for ideas for a new baby gift. The family are moving back to South Africa in a few weeks, so I don?t want to get anything like toys that will add to their shipping bill. As its their third child they have plenty anyway. New baby is a girl and they already have a son and daughter. If I get clothes I suspect they will be the wrong season. My usual ( boring I know) standby of vouchers is no good either. Any suggestions please?

a mumsnet book of course!

something small and personal from you. e.g a photo frame?

bless you for buying a new baby prezzie for a third - not many people bothered for my second. a really nice card would be appreciated i should think.

but how about a couple of things for the whole family to remind them of the uk? maybe a postman pat/some richard curtis film/comedy dvd?

Oh these are great ideas! Like the idea fo something to remind them of the Uk thats also suitable for the kids. Sorry i am a bit brain dead as I have a 3 week old baby [sleepless emoticon]

What about something like one of the Classic FM - Music For Babies CDs? Very relaxing and if it doesn't relax baby then it should relax mum & dad!

I bought this blanket for my friend expecting her third

It has the swaddling instruction printed on the blanket.
