What has been the best gift that you have received after the birth of your child? I am trying to get ideas of what to buy and have no idea what the sex of the baby will be.
Also did you receive any good presents, just for you and not the baby and what were they? Many thanks

It doesn't cost anything but can you give them some of your time.
I know that even a couple of hours away from a new baby can seem like heaven, in the nicest possible way, either if you can baby sit at babies house or have the baby at your house?
Someone I know made a little booklet of "Promises" for them, like 2 hours babysitting, taking baby for a walk, doing some ironing, cleaning etc as new Mum's don't like to ask for help.

Well, I'm not a "New" Parent, as my baby will be 11 years old tomorrow...but I remember the 4 best gifts I received were photo gift certificates - people love pictures of new babies; pampers/diapers - you can never have enough; a gift certificate to get a massage for me and movie tickets for my husband and me.
A Rainbow Maker - Small babies loved it and they continue to love it as they get older

For me - a bottle of hot pink nail varnish to paint my toes. When it's lunch time and you're not dressed, your hairs skanky, and you've suitcases under your eyes you know you have completely lost your grip if your toenail's are pink...honestly!!!!

Also, as pebbles says, just going and keeping an eye on a new baby so Mum can have a long soak in the bath or an hours sleep is the greatest gift of all, I know it doesn't sound like much but any new mother will tell you it's priceless!

Hi there � I received a beautiful Nappy Cakes from my closest friend � it was full of goodies and looked fantastic when they delivered it (much better then flowers!!). I have seen them on http://www.baby-gifts-online.co.uk/Nappy_Cakes _s/35.htm - they also do the baby casting kits like Magic Custard too as mentioned earlier..
