new baby boy gift

[Mrsh3103]

My cousin has just had her 1st baby. I want to get him a gift but want to give something a bit different.
Any ideas?

I saw on notonthehighstreet they have got building blocks u can personalise with name weight date etc, they would look lovely on a shelf in the bedroom, am planning on getting some for my best friends baby

Have a look at www.henryandlil.com they have really lovely original appliquéd baby grows which can be personalised. I get one for every new baby that arrives and they always go down really well. X

I get new babies a lovely hand turned rattle from the plate rattle and bowl company. My ds has one and loves it.

I tend to give new babes a fleece blanket that they can use as they get older.

photo album/picture frame

one of those ' baby milestones ' books that you write everything in.

handprint kit? could you then take a handprint of babe on a visit? ( so it doesn't end up being something else the parents need to try & do )

Thanks all for the great ideas

Best gift I got when I had a baby was a really nice photo album and a disposable camera (with the cost of having it developed included with it).

So many photos are now stored digitally it was nice to take proper photos and have an album to show them off.

I got the same for my friends baby and she loved it, sweetpeaonline on facebook have some fab blankets, willing to do whatever asked if possible.

Have you thought of a little pencil sketch of the newborn? A very unique present. I can do baby portraits which can be framed and hung on the wall. I was an artist before I became a child minder. Feel free to browse my website.
