It'd better be a girl! She (mother-to-be) has been TOLD it will be a girl and consequently everything is pink and girly. The room's pink, the clothes are all girly, we've bought pink and girly toys ... the card I'm making says "It's a girl!"

*touching wood, crossing fingers*!

If she turns out to be a he, there'll be a very girly little boy for the first few months of his life!

so not an it then...

are you thinking a gift for the girl to appreciate in the future, a treasured item type of thing, or something for the parents to appreciate your thoughts and kindness towards there new baby

Lol ... I think I've covered thoughts and kindness towards new baby ... so something to be kept and treasured. I have a plate from one of my aunties with a picture in the middle (nothing particularly special, I think it's a painting of a girl in a garden with a watering can) and my name, date/time of birth and weight around the edge. Trouble is, it's a nice thing to have ... but it's just in storage. So it means something to me, it just isn't much use (I imagine people'd find it strange if I had it on my wall or something!). I don't want to buy them something pointless that will just get in the way either!

Well, I know, however, although I've put together the basket of millions of things, it's from a small group of 4 of us ... and I'd like them (baby and parents-to-be) to have something significant - that's just from me!

I've been trying to keep my eye out for suitable silverware to have engraved (started thinking maybe a silver money box? - except I've not found one suitable yet). I really like your idea - though obviously would need to know baby's name first - so this may be done later, after the birth - if I have any money left! This is a good one, thank you.

Oh believe me, ebay has been searched! :-) Have found some unusual 'baby sock bouquets' which are basically socks/bibs etc rolled up to look like roses, interspersed with some wooden roses and wrapped up with tissue paper. They're pretty cool ... although as I just mentioned (above) I sort of want to get something 'thoughtful and significant'... :? And my major concern with them now is that baby is due in 5 days (that came 'round so quickly!) and I don't trust the postal system. :?

No I agree, think this is a brilliant idea... though have already got her (in the basket of millions of things) some earrings (not posh fancy ones - they are from Sainsbury's actually, but they're really pretty!), some little bottles of vino, and some chocolate ... possibly enough?

Loads ... obviously! ;-) :-)

Oh now this I hadn't thought of at all (despite helping someone do similar for their grandchild a few years back!). Really like this idea - and a couple of newspapers and a single isn't going to break the bank either! Definitely a go-er ... unless of course baby is especially difficult and born just before midnight when 'day of birth' newspapers will no longer be available (*fingers crossed*)

Thank you - VERY MUCH - everybody!

Helen, thank you so much for posting this, I became a Grandma this morning, (thirty-bloody-six-it's-not-fair!!!!!) so I think I'll be heading out to the shops later!!!

Hehe! No problem and CONGRATULATIONS to you! You will probably tell people your age more times this week than you have since being 10 years old! ;-)

The main thing we've got my friend is basket (it's actually a very pretty wicker laundry basket) and filled it with alsorts of useful things (baby toiletries and nappies etc) ... and some not so useful but essential things (wine, chocolate). I did the same for a work colleague a few months back, seems to go down very well - and I have fun buying everything!

I love Andy's idea with the day-of-birth stuff too :-).

Good luck finding - let me know how you get on ... and if you get any really good ideas for gifts that I can copy, please let me know!

Tink, you clearly know nothing of the sport, or at the very least you know nothing of the team that I support in that sport. The red lot from Manchester are a dirty word where I grew up, and I have no interest in how they do (except when they lose in which case let the revels begin).

dont know why, but I'm really enjoying HCTB tonight. Up to song four now and not once did I feel the urge to skip a track or shut off. Even the production on Los Angeloser seems a lot better than I remembered. Maybe the album had to rest for a few weeks for me to enjoy it...

i made the mistake on my first listen to hang cool, to follow it up back to back with bat 2 collectors ed cd (my benchmark for an exceptional album)

(and in my opinion the earlier album is considerably harder... much harder guitars!! much deeper, darker and more complex layers, lyrics and music, real soul penetrating stuff... which we dont often get musically)

What a strange thing to say - if Meat thinks it's better, there's nothing sad about that. If it's his favourite, then fair enough. I also prefer it to Bat 2 overall.
