Hi!

Im looking for an idea for a baby boy gift for a friend of mine. I usually don’t give baby gifts, rather I make a meal or watch other kids, etc. But I also had a baby recently and she was so helpful with meals and childcare, and she gave me a beautiful gift for each of my children! I want to get her something nice as well, but my budget is more limited. I’m hoping to stay in the $15-25 range. She has a good handful of other kids ages 1,3, and 4. I was thinking maybe a cute stretchie for baby and a game/toy for the other kids? Or maybe a couple cute accessories for the baby like a paci clip and Blanket? I’m really not sure...

Any ideas?? Specific links would be appreciated. TIA!

If you live "in-town" you can always do a triangle bib with a name on it. Costs around $12... always get very high reviews:)

I wouldn't buy a pacifier clip or any kind of teething thing from ali. No telling what material it really is made out of or how safe it really is. I'd only buy this sort of thing from a reputable manufacturer. I personally enjoyed receiving clothing in the 12+ month range (18 and 24 months was the best). I got so many little baby clothing, it was nice to have some older stuff.

I live out of town and, to my knowledge, no primark in my neighborhood.

I ended up buying a pretty pacifier clip from someone in my neighborhood who sells, it was only $10 and why not give business to a Frum woman. I also ordered a pair of well reviewed, decent quality moccasins on amazon. My thoughts were that I was getting fun extras as opposed to necessities. I hope she gets good use out of it all!

Are you artistic? My daughter buys nagel-vosser sets for about two dollars each and draws some cute pictures on it with paint pens, wraps it with a big colorful cellophane bag and ribbon. They usually sell for way more and ppl love them.

I like the Skip Hop Pronto (mini diaper changer thing), a cute set of month stickers for photos, or a box of Trumpette socks. All of those are available on Amazon with Prime shipping.

Bloomingdale's sells baby stretches really cheap. They come in the Bloomingdales box and makes a nice presentation.

I hit the store during a sale and stock up when I go.
