People seem to overlook how much the woman is neglected at times like this. It is incredibly hard for a woman to go through 9 months of body changing, hormone changing baby growth, and immediately after, have to take care of a screaming rodent. Not to mention, she gets coddled, and paid attention to for 9 months, and then BAM baby is here, who are you?
Women often suffer from post-partum depression because of this. If you want to get a valuable gift, I would suggest getting her something special (a certificate for a massage or something else equally nice).
As for the baby... if you want this to be something special to the kid, you want to get him something the baby is going to get attached to. Something like a fuzzy blanket, or a teddy bear. If you want it to be a helpful gift, diapers and clothes, a rocking chair (if they don't have one), a diaper genie is good, a baby bathtub thingy, etc. etc. |

Hey Wai,
Here's a link to the Jacadi site. They have a store on Madison Ave. and they have really amazing hand made baby clothes that are of an heirloom quality. Oh, and they're crazy expensive!! That's where I shopped for my first niece!

i actually still have my baby blanket and i'm 27...that's what i want to give that kid something to keep forever dammit because i'll be the most awesome aunt this kid has. i'm infinitely more fun than anyone he knows i'm sure and i'll probably be the only non-serb the kids knows for a while!!! |

If you go with a teddy you may want to go with one that is mass produced as opposed to hand made, as they have to meet safety codes(tho not made in China.)
I bought a beautiful bear for my niece that was in a boutique in tribeca and after a while the head fell off! Dangerous and emotionally scarring. |

| i'm a fan of elephants...our college mascot was jumbo (aka dumbo) the elephant so would mean a lot to get that for his kid. plus elephants are awesome |
