I have been friends with this girl for about 8 years now. We lost touch there for about a year and half, and were just recently re-united. Her husband lost his job, and literally all they have for this baby is a car seat. Literally. I can't afford to spend one hundred dollars or anything. I was considering making a "gift basket" for her. But, instead of a basket, either a diaper bag, or bathtub. But, my problem is I don't know what to put in there. She's going to get a ton of clothes, I'm sure.. So I would like to steer clear of that.. Any ideas would help alot!
--------------------
Hangers, hypoallergenic (lotion, bath wash), teething tablets, baby tylenol, gas drops, changing pad, small wipe container for on the go (they're thin and rectangular), wipes, diapers, diaper rash cream, baby wash cloths, burp rags, (I didn't end up using either of the bath things I got for showers, I just like putting her in the regular tub on top of a hand towel so she doesn't slip), blankey, big fuzzy blankets, flannel swaddling blankets (these are super versatile and I love them!), shopping cart cover/liner, if she's planning on nursing - nursing pads, nursing shawl for public (again I like tucking a flannel swaddling blanket under my bra strap and just using that), a baby care kit (nail clippers, thermometer, things like that) lots of options that are small and fit well in a basket or a diaper bag or a Laundry Basket <-- I got a laundry basket gift with stuff in it, it was great because we needed one for all her clothes too! If you do a diaper bag, make sure it's big and has lots of compartments - I have in mine: diapers, wipes, hand sanitizer, antibacterial wipes for changing tables, a changing pad, small sample pack of (soap, lotion, baby wash, butt cream, comb - all burts bees baby stuff), spare outfits, flannel swaddling blankets, nursing cover, extra shirt for me (incase I get puked on), nursing pads, tampons, pads (just incase), any medicines like tylenol, gas drops, teething tablets, thermometer, nose sucker, tissues - lots of compartments let you stay organized and be able to find everything when you need it.
