OK. Seeing as ED has now turned into Nappy Valley, I thought this would be the best place to ask some sound advice for a special gift for my brother and (french) sister-in-law's baby due very soon.


I don't want to buy a ?65 petit bateau / brora cardi grown out of in 2 weeks (which they've asked for - the cardi not the make) but what I'd really like is something hand made and special - and original. I don't have children, so I really have no clue about what someone might like , but I'd like some input from mums as to what is special!


Thanks so much!

The best baby gifts I received included a swaddle blanket (a lifesaver for newborn fussiness, its the magic blanket that helps our baby sleep soundly, ours is by Summer, sells on Amazon, and has velcro fasteners) and a nice blanket from the White Company's baby range (Little White Company), which is super soft, washes easily, and still looks lovely 3-months in. I too received some expensive clothing (still not used) and appreciated those two gifts the most. Good luck!

Maisy has a best friend called Tallulah, and there are lots of stories and products. Maybe not the main present, but if your name or nickname is Tallulah its something they will remember is from you. Our first daughter loved the stories. Not all presents need to be for immediate use, they will be swamped with gifts and clothes for 0-6 months and may appreciate a little story book - can be used for bedtime stories from six months.

    • The minimum wage hikes on top of the NICs increases have also caused vast swathes of unemployment.
    • Exactly - a snap election will make things even worse. Jazzer - say you get a 'new' administration tomorrow, you're still left with the same treasury, the same civil servants, the same OBR, the same think-tanks and advisors (many labour advisors are cross-party, Gauke for eg). The options are the same, no matter who's in power. Labour hasn't even changed the Tories' fiscal rules - the parties are virtually economically aligned these days.  But Reeves made a mistake in trying too hard, too early to make some seismic changes in her first budget as a big 'we're here and we're going to fix this mess, Labour to the rescue' kind of thing . They shone such a big light on the black hole that their only option was to try to fix it overnight. It was a comms clusterfuck.  They'd perhaps have done better sticking to Sunak's quiet, cautious approach, but they knew the gullible public was expecting an 24-hour turnaround miracle.  The NIC hikes are a disaster, I think they'll be reversed soon and enough and they'll keep trying till they find something that sticks.   
    • Totally agree with you.  🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
    • It took the Tories 14 years to dig that 20bn blackhole. It's taken Labour 14 months to double it.  You cant get rid of Reeves though because the next person will actually be totally incompetent. There are no MPs in Labour capable of performing better than the current shower.
