Starmer & Lammy A Marriage Made In...
News8 mins ago
Hi � my sister is pregnant with her first baby and I am basically looking into the type of gift I can give when the baby is born.
Does anyone have any ideas for a different and cool type of present? I have just looked on a previous post and someone suggest giving someone a time capsule � I liked that idea and just wondered if anyone had any ideas (I am not very up on new babies etc).
Also, does anyone know any financial type presents that I could give a new baby � that is a bit different too.
Many thanks for your help :-)

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.for a Christening pressie for my friends baby i got a 'terramundi Money pot' . it's a kind of saving jar, but it gives you a little wish slip you can complete and put into the jar...and you can get it personalised. It seemed a very popular gift! You can see for yourself at www.terramundi.co.uk
also, for another friend i got (organic) massage and bath oils for baby and mum - again seemed to go down well.
As for the time capsule - maybe put in a copy of a couple of newspapers, couple of magazines, showing tv or fashion, photos, maybe a copy of the top 5 or top 10 tunes in the chart on the day baby was born.
and maybe a letter written to baby from you - i think it would be amazing that in 18+ years your niece could read a letter to her that you wrote before or jusr after she was born
as for financial pressie - i know they're hardly 'a bit different' but Premium Bonds are a good idea - and very easy to buy at the Post Office (minimum investment �100, but then you can add to them when ever you like, and they go into a monthly draw to win various cash prizes.)
