Only I can't think of anything in that category! I considered one of those record books where you fill in as you go along, only friend too lazy to complete it! Same goes for those clay casting kits where you can create a casting of baby's foot/hand. ... So I'm stuck ... any ideas??

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

But what do I know, i'm a bloke
