My friend just had her baby.. today. I don't have a lot of money, but want to get her and the baby something. I don't want to sound cheap, but I really can't spend more than $20 combined on both of them.
I don't really have anything left of my daughters that I could give her for her baby.
What are some cheap, but cute, gift ideas for mom and baby?
Answer
You could get the new Mom some bubble bath- So, when Dad watches the baby for a little bit she can have a relaxing bath.
You could get the new Baby Picture frame- Maybe something like Baby's 1st year- where you can put pics from each month in it.
Hope this helps.

Answer
Extra sheets for the crib and/or bassinet
Thin receiving blankets
Thicker blankets for when it gets cold outside
Burp cloths (we used cloth diapers which are super absorbent and hold up well in the wash)
Diapers, diapers, and more diapers in all sizes (just don't open them all. if one size gets outgrown, you can exchange them for the next size)
Wipes
Throw away changing pads (for when you're away from home and want somewhere clean to lay baby to change his/her diaper)
Diaper rash cream- desitin, balmex, etc
Baby wash, shampoo, lotion
Detergent to wash baby's clothes in- Dreft, Baby All, etc.
Clothing- if you have enough newborn and size 0-3 month clothes, you can specify the next size (we did this at my baby shower and most everyone went along with it)
Swing or bouncy chair (my daugther loved her travel swing the most. it was compact, folded up so it could easily be moved from room to room, had flashing light and played music)
GIFT CARDS!
If you're bottle feeding and have a dishwasher, a nipple and ring basket is essential (like these: http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.do?product_id=4457086&sourceid=1500000000000003260330&ci_src=14110944&ci_sku=4457086)
You'll also need a bottle and nipple brush (like this: http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.do?product_id=11158658)
If you're going to breastfeed, ask for a Boppy pillow, lanolin creme for your nipples, and breast pads. Maybe a gift card to the maternity store to buy a nursing bra.
Things to stock your baby medicine cabinet with- infant tylenol, a thermometer, gas drops (malicon drops worked well for us), antibiotic ointment (it won't be long before baby is mobile and getting ouchies!), orajel or teething tablets, a cold pack
It's always fun to ask each guest to write down their best parenting tip or something interesting that they didn't know until they were a mom.
You can think ahead a few months and ask for things he/she will need in the future like:
baby spoons
bibs
baby dishes
sippy cups
teething rings
rattles and toys to teach hand-eye coordination
high chair
It may be easier if you go to walmart, target, kmart, or babies r us and make a registry. that way everyone knows exactly what you want. you can print it out from your home computer and give a copy to the hostess so she can provide copies for guests who don't have internet access or acess to the specific store.
