Best gifts for 6 month babies?

[nanoo]

I have a bunch of friends that had babies about 5-6 months ago that I need to get gifts for. Presumably, they have the basics and have gotten the standard newborn gifts, like towels, blankets, etc. Any suggestions on what would be a good present at the 6 month mark?

Ooooh, I like the piggy bank idea with a note saying something like "Now that you know how much a baby costs, save every penny:)"! Thanks!

They are just entering the phase where she would be popular with the kiddos.

Books!

Push toys, like play strollers or shopping carts, that help babies learn to walk.

Soft blocks, books, soft balls are also good ideas.

Great ideas! I was thinking of around $30 per gift, so maybe I will do a theme like bath, reading, etc...
