I had such a great time yesterday, they took me to the seaside for the day.... We ate, walked for a bit, had a cup of tea and a cake, walked a bit more, ate something else, walked a bit, they made me have a donkey ride (!!!!!!! except it was a horse and the saddle was slipping off to one side so I spent the whole ride desperately clinging on for dear life, lol....) we walked a bit more, had a drink, walked some more, went on the enormous wobbly slide and the ghost train at the funfair, walked some more, ate some chips, and finally went home, only getting lost twice on the way, and no I wasn't driving!!!

We decided from looking at all of the little old ladies around the seaside that we should buy matching kagouls, (it was a typically British day at the seaside - moments of brilliant sunshine interspersed with moments of it absolutely peeing down with rain!!!) but we couldn't find three the same, so we bought matching plastic rain bonnets instead, and walked around in them all day... What we found slightly worrying was that nobody batted an eyelid....

Pictures will be appearing on Facebook later....

:twisted: Try looking on e bay.
Search "baby" "new baby" "congratulations baby".

Or (just a thought here) you could get something nothing to do with baby or mummy, and get something more "friend" orientated.
Everyone else will be doing the baby thing, so something that is more of a treat to her might stand out more :idea:

How about a collection "things" from the day that baby is born? Newspapers, magazines, the number one single and album, best selling book etc etc that can be stored away safely for the young one to look at when it's not so young?

Thank you everyone for your suggestions. I am REALLY grateful and this has helped a LOT!

I think you bought quite enough...

Well, I know, however, although I've put together the basket of millions of things, it's from a small group of 4 of us ... and I'd like them (baby and parents-to-be) to have something significant - that's just from me!

...BUT...silver baby spoon or rattle engraved with initials (which you may not know yet) is usually one of those memorable ones...

I've been trying to keep my eye out for suitable silverware to have engraved (started thinking maybe a silver money box? - except I've not found one suitable yet). I really like your idea - though obviously would need to know baby's name first - so this may be done later, after the birth - if I have any money left! This is a good one, thank you.

:twisted: Try looking on e bay.
Search "baby" "new baby" "congratulations baby".

Oh believe me, ebay has been searched! :-) Have found some unusual 'baby sock bouquets' which are basically socks/bibs etc rolled up to look like roses, interspersed with some wooden roses and wrapped up with tissue paper. They're pretty cool ... although as I just mentioned (above) I sort of want to get something 'thoughtful and significant'... :? And my major concern with them now is that baby is due in 5 days (that came 'round so quickly!) and I don't trust the postal system. :?

Or (just a thought here) you could get something nothing to do with baby or mummy, and get something more "friend" orientated.
Everyone else will be doing the baby thing, so something that is more of a treat to her might stand out more :idea:

No I agree, think this is a brilliant idea... though have already got her (in the basket of millions of things) some earrings (not posh fancy ones - they are from Sainsbury's actually, but they're really pretty!), some little bottles of vino, and some chocolate ... possibly enough?

But what do I know, i'm a bloke :doh:

Loads ... obviously! ;-) :-)

How about a collection "things" from the day that baby is born? Newspapers, magazines, the number one single and album, best selling book etc etc that can be stored away safely for the young one to look at when it's not so young?

Oh now this I hadn't thought of at all (despite helping someone do similar for their grandchild a few years back!). Really like this idea - and a couple of newspapers and a single isn't going to break the bank either! Definitely a go-er ... unless of course baby is especially difficult and born just before midnight when 'day of birth' newspapers will no longer be available (*fingers crossed*)


Thank you - VERY MUCH - everybody!

It'd better be a girl! She (mother-to-be) has been TOLD it will be a girl and consequently everything is pink and girly. The room's pink, the clothes are all girly, we've bought pink and girly toys ... the card I'm making says "It's a girl!"

*touching wood, crossing fingers*!

If she turns out to be a he, there'll be a very girly little boy for the first few months of his life!

Yes!

Lol ... I think I've covered thoughts and kindness towards new baby ... so something to be kept and treasured. I have a plate from one of my aunties with a picture in the middle (nothing particularly special, I think it's a painting of a girl in a garden with a watering can) and my name, date/time of birth and weight around the edge. Trouble is, it's a nice thing to have ... but it's just in storage. So it means something to me, it just isn't much use (I imagine people'd find it strange if I had it on my wall or something!). I don't want to buy them something pointless that will just get in the way either!

Hehe! No problem and CONGRATULATIONS to you! You will probably tell people your age more times this week than you have since being 10 years old! ;-)

The main thing we've got my friend is basket (it's actually a very pretty wicker laundry basket) and filled it with alsorts of useful things (baby toiletries and nappies etc) ... and some not so useful but essential things (wine, chocolate). I did the same for a work colleague a few months back, seems to go down very well - and I have fun buying everything!

I love Andy's idea with the day-of-birth stuff too :-).

Good luck finding - let me know how you get on ... and if you get any really good ideas for gifts that I can copy, please let me know!

My son started British Soccer (football) Camp today here in the states. I'm now wondering if anyone overseas has their kids enrolled in American Soccer camp. (Hmmm....chances are slim I bet.)

Mr & Mrs Rooney, Mr & Mrs Cole, Mr & Mrs Green, Mr & Mrs Heskey, and Mr & Mrs Lampard apparently all tried to get their boys enrolled, but the kids weren't good enough.
