pop in we have loads of stuff for new borns....

Some great ideas here The basket idea is brilliant - too often family and friends overlook the necessities such as nappies, cotton wool, etc and focus only on clothing and toys.

I also just wanted to add that sometimes, the earliest presents can be the most special.

My brother is now thirteen, but was born almost three months prematurely. A week before my mum went into labour, I had fallen in love with a little white bunny toy with flower-patterned ears and a bell in it at a school jumble sale (I was quite small myself at the time! ) and bought it with the little pocket money I had been allowed. When my brother was born, the hospital staff said he could have a cuddly toy in the incubator, so I gave him the bunny who was named "White Rabbit".

Until he was six, White Rabbit went everywhere with my brother, but unfortunately he went missing one day and was never found and my brother was distraught. I remember telling him that White Rabbit had done his job in protecting him when he was a baby, and now that he was a big boy, White Rabbit had to go and find another little boy or girl to look after.
Even several months later, he was still so upset at the loss of his favourite toy, that my mum made a replacement rabbit who was named "Whitey" in White Rabbit's memory, and the last time I went to visit over the summer, I noticed that Whitey still has pride of place next to my brother's bed, along with "Ghosty", another white rabbit my mum made to a different pattern a few years ago. It really touches me that my gift to my newborn baby brother has remained with him, in spirit at least, for thirteen years.
