What to buy as gift for 2nd baby?

[torontogal12]

Our friends just had their second baby. They live in Ottawa so we will be shipping them a gift.

But we don't know what to give them. They already have all the baby items they need. Even clothing, The kids are two girls.

The last time a friend of ours had a second baby I gave her a bunch of mommy pampering toiletries but I wouldn't want to send a bunch of stuff like this through the mail, not worth the postage.

Any suggestions?

Thanks!

A handmade baby afghan - lots of craft sales this time of year, and it's easy to ship.

I always give a silver dollar of the year of the birth. Easy to ship.

I would give a gift card for Target/WalMart/ grocery store because there's always something else they can use or they can put it towards diapers/wipes/formula etc. I'd also get a cute little outfit for the baby(3-6 months or up and get a gift receipt I'm case it doesn't fit)even if they have lots of baby clothes from their first daughter it's always nice to get new stuff.

No one thinks of daddy pampering gifts? Surely someone has figured out what the other parent might need too.

I like the ideas posted already-I did the afghan gift for someone's child and it became the favorite "blankie."

browsing through easy/handmade websites, she has tons of creative and unique handmade items for babies!

Maybe something like the tagit blanket or a baby loader or something like that?

Good Luck!
