Going to be an aunt for the first time, NEED HELP!?

I am going to be an aunt in two months and i have started on a gift basket for my nephew, but not sure of what i should really buy. What are some of the items i should get for the gift basket that will be useful for the new parents and the baby?
--------------------
Go through the baby department at Wal-Mart. Lots of things that new parents can never get enough of include: baby wash baby lotion baby wipes Balmex baby powder cloth diapers - they can be used as burp towels diapers onesies - buy larger than newborn b/c they quickly outgrow these baby bottles - several different sizes (or liners if the parents choose the ones with the disposable liners) nursing pads (if the mother is going to breastfeed your nephew) receiving blankets crib sheets (you can never have enough of those around) baby shampoo (no-tears formula) baby shampoo (the kind for cradle cap) baby nail clippers nasal aspirator (blue bulb looking thing) teething rings mittens for their hands to keep them from scratching their faces socks or booties to keep their feet warm cap or hat if you live in a cooler climate ... the list can go on & on ... If you wanted to include something for the parents use only, you might try getting a gift certificate for their favorite restaurant and include a certificate offer your services as a babysitter for the night to allow them some time to themselves.
