My boss is a scientist, and I thought about getting a nerdy bib for his daughter but the shipping takes way too long. I think it is appropriate to spend <$25 on this gift. She is the first child, so they probably have already been given everything under the sun. Any ideas? I have a good, casual relationship with my boss (i.e. we joke around and stuff), and I've met his wife several times. Both have a great sense of humor.
Thanks!

I’m pretty crafty so I would like to make something that would be special. I would really like it if it would be something I could do every year for the childs birthday.

my friend is expecting twins

If she was older I could do a basket with a little bit of candy, but that’s not an option. Could I do a basket with small gifts, or maybe toddler food? Any ideas would be appreciated, thanks!

I know the baby will not care that much, but I have to get something for it besides clothing.

My friend is a young mother and her baby shower is next week and i dont know what to give her.

Umm, I highly doubt she gives it out. And while I’m sure your intentions are good, she most likely will not take gifts from strangers, especially gifts that are for her baby. Sorry.

Something he can pound on and makes lots of noise like a toy tool bench or a small ride-on toy with lots of buttons and noisemakers. This age likes to make tons of noise and they are just learning the idea of cause and effect so the more buttons, levers, knobs, the better.
Kids at this age won’t show much interest in their gifts unless they immediately catch their attention with music or noise!
I just bought a 1 yr old boy gift today at Toys r us for a party this weekend and I bought the Mickey Fire Engine Team Activity Ride On because it looked like tons of fun and had the most buttons and sounds on it plus it came with a cool mickey helmet! Who can resist.
My son recieved one similar to this for his 1st birthday (his was something called ‘music van’ and all the buttons playes music with different instruments) and he STILL LOVES to play with it and he is almost 5!
Hope this helps!!

buy yellow or green clothes

Hello,
I’m planning to buy a gift for a friend of mine. she is pregnant and going on a leave about a month from now. since i have never done this before, i’m wondering if people would buy gift prior to child’s birth as well as after that or not? If so, what are usually the things that can be bought? Would a post card suffice (prior to leave) or usually something related to baby should accompany?
thanks,
