Me and dh want to give her a gift or a few gifts but we don't know what to get her. On top of that were short on this pay check so were on a small budget about $50-60
Any suggestions?
With 50-60, you can do a lot. If I were you, I'd focus on the things she really needs, like a few packages of diapers, a few outfits, and then maybe one fun thing like a toy or book.
My favorite thing to give mom's to be is a set of books that were the ones that I enjoyed reading with my kids, and which they enjoyed best. I always write a message on the inside and sign and date. They get a million little outfits and stuff, which eventually they don't need, but those books stay in some families for 2 and 3 generations, and they are appreciated for a long time. Some of our faves are: Just in Case You Ever Wonder, I love you This Much, Goodnight Moon, Just Go To Bed. I also think a baby sling is an awesome thing to have. Not the carrier kind, but the sling that you can put an infant in helped me so much. I usually put the two together.
Diapers, wipes, clothes, bottles. I suggest looking at clearance racks and items that are on sale.
bump!
I buy a small laundry basket and line it with a soft baby blanket, and fill it with small things that are needed such as diaper cream, wipes, shampoo, baby lotion, washclothes, an outfit or two and a bottle of Dreft. I also stick a few odds and ends in for mom like some Aveeno oatmeal bath, nursing pads, etc. With coupons and getting the laundry basket at the dollar store, it will cost between $40 and $50 or less depending on how big the basket is and how full you make it.
A question for those who have kids close in age..
When was your due date and when did you give birth?
