I have already given them money. I want to give them something "real", so to speak.

That way, we had an amazing time picking out things for our new house. Otherwise, try asking somebody really close to them what they need.

Esp for baby supplies Back to top I tell it like it is Yahoo User Posted: Thu May 01, 2008 12:46 pm    Post subject: Money, stuffed in an envelope. If they are that young, they probably need money the most. If not, then what the other poster said, gift certificates are fine.

If you think that's too impersonal, go with a george forman grill or something. I also enjoy getting a matching plate/cup/flatware set, and some nice nonstick pots & pans from Macy's.

It usually signals that you are not really part of their lives. If you are independently wealthy get them gift cards for babies-R-us.You can give them a coupon for you cooking a few dinners immediately after the baby is born. Helping with cleaning. Watching baby for a bit so they can sleep. Babies-R-us sells babyproofing kits for the house. Getting mom a good book on the bradley method can go a very long way.You can get mom a gift card to a pregnant-mom massage (they are totally awesome and loved by pregnant woman nearly as much as women in general love chocolate)Walmart, Target and local stores are not bad for gift-cards. There are people who have moral objections about cheap Chinese stuff that Walmart and Target sell being made primarily by slave-labor.If they love cooking get them a spice rack. If they dont have time for anything you might get them a giant set of disposable dishes.

Think of things that most people won't think of when moving. Maybe some towels and some sort of baby bottle warmer, some fruit and throw in a nice gift card to a baby store or to a big store like walmart or target where they can get some last minute things they have forgotten.
