So I'm planning on visiting my closest friends in about a month, and this will be the first time I'll see their new baby. I want to bring them and their son something, but I don't know what.
Since they live so far away (and my schedule has been very busy), I haven't been able to come sooner. The baby will be about three months old by the time I get there. As a result, they have everything they need already. I know for a fact that they don't need more toys or clothes. She actually joked that because of the generosity of her family and friends, she could probably throw away his outfits after he wears them once and never run out of clothes for his first year.
With that said, they have space concerns. So I'd rather not get them something impractical since anything too sentimental (and not useful) will likely just get tucked into storage.
I can't think of a darned thing. I'm at the point where I'm considering cutting a cheque for his education fund. While I'm sure that would be much appreciated, I'd prefer to find a unique gift instead.
So I'm putting it to the most creative people I know... you guys. What is a practical baby gift that no one else would have thought to buy them yet?
