Double Duty Post: AW and a Question

First my AW, which is related to my question...my cousin and his wife welcomed their first baby last night (April 11).  They had a baby boy, Tucker (aka Baby E for the last 9 months) which was a surprise because no one knew if it was a boy or girl.  Now, my question, D and I are going to send them a baby gift and I'm thinking of doing a box of goodies (clothes...I already bought 3 cute outfits at Costco).  Any suggestions on some cool and creative baby gifts?  Thanks in advance!

Re: Double Duty Post: AW and a Question

  • Be different and send a gift to the new mom!  Everyone always forgets that mom needs some love.

    Suggestions for baby--aside from clothes, toys, and tons of diapers...if the parents have a favorite sports team get a little uniform for the baby.  Also hit up some of the online retailers for chinese new year stuff.  Its the year of the rat and you can get rat/mouse themed gifts.  I just got a super cute mouse (baby zodiac) onesie with a matching canvas tote for a friend.  Check out

    Suggestions for mom--a day of pampering at a spa...trust me she deserves it!  If thats a bit too expensive--splurge for a pedicure and a massage. 
  • check out www.uncommongoods.com  They have cute stuff for babies and new parents.  They have a funny little book called Porn for New Moms which basically shows pictures of a guy vacuuming and feeding the baby.  Very funny and cute! 
  • Hey!!!  Congrats on your new nephew!!!  I don't have a lot of suggestions, but I've seen a package on Red Envelope (www.redenvelope.com) for the new borns, and also a kit to make a cast of the baby's hand and foot prints.  I think I bought a quilt from them when our nephew was born with his name and birthdate, my SIL loved it.  But I guess diaper and formula money is always good :-) 
  • You could go green and get them some "G" Diapers and chlorine free wipes?
  • (i've emmerged from lurking)

    Being that the gift is from you and D. throw a baby Padres onesie in there. (mlb.com) or even Target often has them at a much less expensive cost! Congrats!
  • I think the answers are great.  I agree with a gift for mom.

    I just sent a friend a bracelet (we do fun jewelry for eachother all the time) she loved it.  Just be a bit cautious - My sister got a GC from Victoria's secret from someone.  It was just about the last thing she wanted.   LOL.

  • Congrats on your new nephew! Babies are amazing!

    Where were you an AXO? I'm guessing based on your name, of course. I was a founding member at USD!

  • Ashley...Yes, I am an AXO...I was a founder at Cal State San Marcos and am their current chapter advisor.
