Baby Gift Ideas Needed (2 situations)

Situation 1 - Baby Girl
Cousin lives in FL and had a virtual shower. Registry was all about her and her post-partum needs. ?? She had a girl and does not want clothing as she wants to be the one to pick out the clothes. I’m kind of hell-bent against getting her a gift card because of all of this. Any suggestions?

Situation 2 - Baby Boy
Couple is older. Did not want a shower. They bought everything themselves and they are very well off. They are the nicest family and I want to do something special for them but I’m out of ideas.

This is a first baby for both situations.

Situation 1: Buy Diapers and wipes, send to her house. LOL

Situation 2: Dinner gift card, Pehr baby clothing line at Nordstrom is good. I bought outfits for two babies and both momma's loved them, Muslin Swaddles, cute little onesies that say "Milk baby", "Im new here"

For both, why not make them a basket of goodies such as something handmade (hat, blanket, stuffed animal etc) from Etsy, a baby book, a frame for the baby room, one of those kits to make impressions of the baby's hands and feet, special ornament, etc.

I like all of the above ideas too.Chat Icon

Yes. Lol. It’s not what you think. They have them on Amazon. Holds all their paperwork. You can label it with their picture and name. Has dividers/labels. Everything from birth certificate/ss card/ baptismal certificate/ immunization records/etc etc.

I agree with diapers for the 1st situation, and buy them newborn size Chat Icon. For the 2nd situation, what about a gift card to Janie and Jack, I love their clothes!
