Toys are an often-overlooked necessity for babies - tummy time is important for babies to develop muscles and for sensory development, so why not choose a brightly colored mat with toys attached? Bouncy seats are great diversions for babies when parents need a break, and there are plenty of great options. Experts recommend the safest way for babies to sleep is without anything at all in the crib - that means no stuffed animals, pillows or blankets. That sterile environment can be made cozier with a SleepSack - a blanket that zips around baby's body and keeps him safe from sudden infant death syndrome. In fact, the SIDS Alliance endorses the product. If money is tight, then there are inexpensive ways to celebrate baby's arrival. Knitters may invest in a soft yarn and knit a cap or blanket that's sure to be appreciated. If you're not crafty, then offer the parents a "coupon book" of free babysitting - now that's a fabulous gift for parents who are more than ready for a date night after baby arrives!
