A present for DHs new baby brother or sister! :) Any reccomendations? ('step mum' is being induced tomorrow! )yey!

[Disenchanted]

(And DH would kill me if he saw I had called her his step-mum, PMSL.

Anyways budget of about £30.

something nice, bit different maybe?

I had to read that about four times before I got what was going on! I kept reading "DH's new baby", thinking that you were being very open-minded about a child your DH was having with another woman!

PMSL, no his dads new lady is having a baby! So will be DHs half brother or sister

Hes so excited!

We don't find it weird at all, its lovely. We're all very excited and happy for them.

No lovely baby gift ideas?

I love those matching layette thingys with the blanket, onesies, bibs, bootees, sleepsuits, all in soft jersey- they're great.

And hey- life would be boring if all families were the same! It's good that DH and yourself are happy for them.

I know, shes a lovely lady and shes only 30, why shouldn't they have some sprogs? lol

I think that might be a bit wasted though as its so hot, booties hats ect tend to get used more with winter newborns.

Ask DH what his favorite childhood toy was then get that - new baby may not be able to play with it for years but it will be a special gift to be like big brother.

Photo appt/ sitting? We got one from boots as a present for our dd and it was really good....

A wooden classic toy to grow into (eg. noah's ark)

something from the white company (dd was given a gorgeous blanket at birth from WC) and we still keep it in the car for her.

[[http://www.thewhitecompany.com/department2.aspx?DepGrpCode=CHD&DepCode=BCTL why did you mention the white company?? I NEED this for DS2! lol]

sorry this

A tree planted in new baby's honour?

or a nice cake for the mum

the babies get all the gifts...

just out of sheer curiousity how old is your DH? And for the record I dont mean that in a disapproving way I am just nosy! I think its lovely when people find happiness no matter at what age.

hmm... ideas... What about a lovely cuddly toy and something from here

I got a lovely ceramic plate thingy with my DS's birth details on it and also got one for a friend. I cant actually find those same things on this website now so maybe they dont do them anymore but they do lots of other great stuff!! And its what I would want if I were having another baby!

My DH is 23, his dad is 44 and his girlfriend is 30

They are very cute, is it the babys fingerprint? how does that work?

What about a blanket?

This is rather nice

thanks for not minding that I asked I am seriously nosy I love knowing details and sometimes cant resist asking!! It doesnt mean anything negative though I just like to know stuff.

That company is fantastic

You can do this thing where you take the childs foot/hand print yourself on this special paper and then they use the special paper to put the print on anything you want. It is really great!! Explore the website there are loads of different keepsake things on it! I wanted one of everything when DS was born!

Or these

Lol, you are like me then... I would have asked too.

It would have been more juicy if DH was 40 and his dad was 65 though wouldn't it? with a 30 years old? lol

oh mamama i LOVE those blankets in the 2nd link.. may have a winner there! thanks x

Mothering bracelets are fab, hand custome made with babies name on one thread and mum/mother on the other or however you want I ordered a few from braceletsnbrides

I want to order one but don't know if its a boy or girl yet!

I think this one is particularly nice

I was looking at that one for myself! lol

I think its slightly edging on girly though.

I suppose Ill have to wait for the phone call before I decide!
