Baby Gift Ideas??

[annasmom]

I know this has been talked about at length, and even I posted a question about this a month or so ago. But now I really need help. I have so many baby gifts to buy, and I really need to get going on this, because another "crop" of babies is coming this Summer.

Because of the number of gifts I need to buy, I need to limit my spending to $30-$35 each. I also really like to give personalized gifts, and I think it would be especially nice now since all of these babies are #2 or #3. And, here is the kicker, I need to do my shopping on-line (I am on bedrest).

So if anyone has any suggestions, I would really appreciate it. This is something I have been putting off, but it seems like every week we are getting another birth announcement! I need to buy these gifts soon before these "babies" are ready for preschool!

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks so much!

Here is a website for handmade bath boats. I think this is a really cute gift, especially if you personalize it with the baby's name and birthdate. I sent one to a friend a few years ago and I plan to send one to a few more friends who have had or are having babies. I'm not sure how fast you want something sent, but if you personalize I think it takes about 6 weeks. I imagine it's much faster if you don't personalize. Here's the link:

I LOVE Polkadots and Moonbeams! They have some adorable personalized baby items. We were given a ceramic tile with the birth information on it for both the boys and I have done a lot of shopping through them ever since then. They also wrap things up really cute when they ship them out.

Great suggestion! I just ordered something from them for a friend who recently had a baby. You're right, they have super cute stuff.

I don't know if you can get them online, but I love the personalized piggy banks from Nordstrom. Many cute themes and I love something personalized for 2nd + babies!

my current baby gift for all is a taggie blanket ( i make them) and this personalized block. i also do these for baptism - along with a monetary gift.

I was just going to post this!

I love giving the block. I think it's a wonderful keepsake.

how aout a personalized music cd or a nice towel from lands end or PBK, as a second or third, they are likely to get hand me downs so this is a nice thing that's all for them!

TOTALLY frivilous, but one of my favorite gifts for the cute factor...customized burp cloths from babybehip.com. SAHM business in PA, I think. You pick ribbon trim for each one. She does other customized stuff, too. And who can't use a few new burp cloths? :)

I love to give Diapees & Wipees!

If you go to Julie's website, you can order them from her.

You can also have them monogrammed!

Thanks to everyone for all of the great suggestions! We just got yet ANOTHER birth announcement today, our friends had their twins yesterday. I really have to get buying!!

babysophiagifts.com is another WAHM in PA business. I always recommend there--because I always shop there. Her work is beautiful.

Not to mention that Violet Affleck's bibs and burps are from there!

Also check this place out:

All they do is personalized stuff, and you can pick the design as well. I got a growth chart there as a gift, and it was beautiful.
