Choosing a gift for a baby can be a really fun way to spend a few hours. There are so many cute, funky, modern and traditional clothes available and in price ranges to suit every budget.
Babies (and children) are very expensive items on the household budget, so many mums will appreciate a more expensive or luxurious item that they wouldn't dream of buying themselves. Organic baby clothes are gorgeous and feel so soft and smooth against new skin. A cardigan hand knitted in cashmere will be something a mum can treasure, just be sure to buy a size bigger than newborn, or baby won't be able to wear it for long.
If you would rather not guess at sizes you could always offer to pay for a set of professional photographs. New parents and grandparents always have a camera handy, but a professional sitting gives mum the chance to dress baby up in her finest, and is a good reason for her to get her best clothes on as well. Another new idea is to buy a casting kit, which allows you to take a mould of baby's hand and feet. There are several craft websites that offer the option to have baby's fingerprint set into a silver pendant, something mum can keep close to her heart.
If these are out of your budget you could always buy packs of nappies in different sizes. This might not seem a very exciting present but they are the most essential thing a baby needs ( next to doting parents and grandparents of course). An ordinary cardboard box can be lined with pretty paper and filled with inexpensive items, but the fact you have gone to the trouble to make it will mean a lot to a new mum.
