I'm looking for some advice as I'm very out of touch with all things baby these days.
My niece is about to have her third baby in October and I'm assembling a present for the new arrival.
I have said I will get the baby bath, the top and tail bowl and the changing mat. It all looks so boring so I want to kind of tart it up with some nice things. I'm going to get a hooded towel....and recommendations on a good one.
I also want to get some baby body creams and wash.....her other kids both had incredibly sensitive skin so I need some recommendations for them too.
Any other ideas of what I can put together to turn a practical present into something a wee bit more thoughtful.

Aww, that's lovely HB and a great gift idea.
My DIL always buys organic and paraben free lotions and potions for my grandsons. They do some lovely items on Amazon, although they are a tad expensive. Cetaphil Baby is a lovely one
Also maybe a cute little rubber duck!
Does your niece know the sex of the baby yet?
Very exciting - I love babies, especially when they are newly born!

When my friend had her 1st I did exactly that: bath, bucket, bowl; bucket filled with flowers in the appropriate colour, two small bath towels lining the bath as well as Johnson baby products - talc, body wash, 'q' tips as well as some nice soaps for the new Mum

It's a little boy PN. There has been a wee bit of concern that he is a bit small for dates but as of last Friday he was just over 4lbs, and another nine weeks to go.
Great ideas ladies....keep them coming. Just want to make it a wee bit special.

Bless him, I feel sure he will catch up. It is sometimes in the last few weeks there can be a growth spurt!
I like the idea CLKD had of flowers and soaps. Nice to spoil Mum after all her hard work!

Hb - check out Project B - I did it for my daughter whereby you have a monthly box of goodies geared to the relevant month of pregnancy. I realise that's not relevant for your niece but they also a new baby box which is like a hamper of things new mum and baby will need - it's really nice. I can't seem to copy and paste the link sorry xx maybe worth checking out xxx

I weighed in at below 4lb ……….

My niece gets the feeling she will not go full term but we have a viable baby, so that's the important bit.
Fingers and legs crossed...a very small baby is difficult.
Really looking forward to a cuddle with a brand new little life. I love babies ::)
