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.

    • Perhaps Gooseygreeny was not familiar with the wildlife before Gala was imposed on the park, since when its value to wildlife has deteriorated. The Park had never been disturbed before, as the council had respected it as a Site of Importance for Nature Conservation, so only the Common was licensed by them as a site for events. The first time Gala held their event, there was a tree with woodpeckers nesting in it right in the middle of the main field they used and thrushes, blackbirds and great tits nesting within the shrubs and trees immediately surrounding the field. The woodpeckers were thriving on ants from the anthills in the grass. To those of us who used to enjoy watching the wildlife, it was very obviously a Site of Importance for a variety of birds. Despite being accessed by the public and their dogs, it had been relatively undisturbed,  which was one of the main reasons why it was so special and why I have been opposed to the Gala festival being held during the bird nesting season.
