What Is the Best Present You Ever Got?

J.,

After one of my children a wonderful best friend bought me a day of beauty.... She is still my best friend!!!

Hello J.
the best thing I got at my baby shower was my sons stroller because I love taking walks with him in it its a nice time for me to relax & exercise at the same time its also fresh air for me & him also a good time to explore with him even though hes 18 months and loves running around the yard he still loves his stroller I couldnt live without that at all because its a good thing to have that way you can take trips to the mall and outdoors and other places like that, I think getting her a double stroller would be the best gift but before you decide make sure if its on the regisrty if she has one it hasnt been bought yet because getting double gifts is nice but you dont need two strollers . You could by a gift now and then after her shower see what she didnt get and after maybe get some more stuff for her babies because I didnt get everything I needed and had to go buy the rest after my shower and maybe doing that would be a stress free way to help her out that right there would be a nice gift too
or you can get something just for her or her and her husband since everybody will be thiking about those babies and what they need the parents might need something alos but that is all up to you and what you are planning on spending....
good luck with finding a good gift for your friend

I would say the bouncy seat. Newborns don't move around much and it was easy for me to do things around the house with her in it because I could bring her with me wherever I was. Also mine was deep so she loved to sleep in it and feel as though she was being held.

Ideas:
Diapers are always good.
Double stroller.
Free day of daycare.

Diapers!!! I always felt this was the best thing to get because they are needed and you go through them pretty fast.
The best gift though that I got was a gift cert to a message. I thought that was great. it was a nice hour just for me to take a break and relax all by myself.
Another gift I think that is really good that people never seem to buy is crib sheets. I noticed after having my son I only had one set so if he wet the bed I was in a bit of a bind with no spare sheets. So a few crib sheets are always needed.

My mom bought me a coach wristlet when I was pregnant (since I didn't enjoy buying clothes). I use it ALL THE TIME and have since given it (a new one) as a shower gift to a friend. I can stuff it in the diaper bag, or in my "big" purse or work/tote bag. I can also use it on its own when I finally get a date night. I can clip it on the stroller when we take walks (or on the outside of diaper bag). I use it like a wallet but it also fits lipstick and maybe a digital camera (and a tampon if need be!). Anyway, it might be a nice gift for your friend - I always like giving something personal.

My son will be 2 next week and I still cannot live w/o my baby sling!

I love my diaper bag! It's mongrammed from ll bean, my mil gave it to me and it looks like a duffel bag. My daughter is 15 months and I use it all the time. My older two still ask me to hold things too so all the pockets are great!

My kids are blankie lovers, we still have the one special one they got as a gift and carry it around everywhere. (they are 4 and 2 now)

MyCarseatBlankie.com They have matching pink/brown and blue/brown combo patterns that would be so cute for twins!
