Proud Momm
I really need some baby shower gift ideas for my first cousin. We have been the best of friends since we were little so I really would like to get her something special. She's having triplets after trying for 9 long years to conceive after her son was born who will be 10 soon. She's having 2 girls and a boy. When I was pregnant with my daughter my cousin and her husband were very generous with the gift that they purchased at my baby shower and while I know that its the thought that counts, I would still like to get her something really nice an special, but i'm kind of having a hard time deciding what to do since its triplets.
I was initially going to buy a large basket and then fill it with baby things like clothing, blankets, etc... but blankets and what not really are expensive when you multiply the price of one by three, you'll have $60 just in 3 blankets lol. My budget is around $100 and I really just don't want the bulk of the $100 to go toward only 3 blankets.
britney: Engraving their names is a great idea on blankets, but they have not decided on any names yet considering that they just found out what they are having a week ago. Her doctor is putting her on bed rest next week so they are in a rush to get a shower together by next weekend and I really doubt they'll have names picked out by then and if they do it will be too late lol..but its still a great idea.
Wife to an amazing man: heavier winter baby blanets roughly estimate anywhere from $16 to $20 a piece in stores like Target, babies r us, etc...so yes, $60 for 3 give or take. I understand that you can find cheaper blankets online but I really don't have time to order anything online because the shower is in 6 days. With extra shipping costs to get the things here in time, it would actually cost more lol.

I know it's not really special but you cousin will love them. I'm also a triplet mom and I'm friends with a lot of triplet moms (Or high risk doctors got us all together and we go out once a month). Two of my friends also love these. They really helped our babies. It's called a Rock and Play by fisher price. I know it doesn't look like much but my girls loved them. We actually used them as bassinets and two other triplet mom use them as bassinets too. Depending on if your cousin is planning on having them in her room with them they might be a great buy. I know it really was a great thing my husband and I brought and I have brought it for every other parent's baby shower since.
Congrats to your cousin!

oh PS im looking for things that can be easily & cheaply sent. My husband is in the army so we are stationed 7 hours away from home :) But thanks for all the suggestions! They are great!
Answer
diapers and wipes would be a really good thing...but something else that you could do that would probably be even more appreciated would be to make them some "coupons" for free help with the babies, such as a few hours of baby-sitting so mom can get a little sleep and things like that...
