Great Gifts - for baby!

We have been so blessed to receive so many fantastic for our lovely baby.  We are very grateful for our little girl and it's meant we haven't really had to buy anything for her ourselves.  I am hesitant to start this list, as it will imply that some some gifts we received weren't as great as these ones, but that is not my intention at all.  Everything we received was so appreciated. I love the sentimental gifts like the blankets.  I love the practical gifts like the baby wipes.  This is more a list of gifts that were perhaps a surprise, or weren't things I would have thought to give before.  Therefore I want to record those before I forget in the hope that I will then remember them to give to others in the future. And I won't be able to make and give a beautiful Fair Isle blanket so that's why wonderful gifts like that haven't made it on to the list! It's also a list of things that I don't think would matter too much if you had too many of them or they could be easily passed on - so "Bonnie" lettering hasn't made it on, or Peter Rabbit milestone cards. Hopefully that's enough disclaimers to get on with the list - but is still not enough for me to post it on the other blog!!

Clothes - we have received so many items of clothing, that we have only bought her two newborn Bambi onesies so far.  I think and hope it may be quite a while before we have to buy her any clothes as lots of people were thoughtful enough to buy bigger sizes too.

• Bundler - not sure if that's their common name, but found it on a label.  We had never heard of them before but made nappy changes so much easier at night!
• Swimsuit - would never have thought of as a gift - a bigger size was a good idea.
• Sun hat - if baby is born at that time of year.  Used daily!

Books - I am keen for Bonnie to be a reader so am pleased to be starting early!

• Ten Little Fingers and Ten Little Toes - made me well up on first reading!
• Milo's Black and White World - first book she took an interest in and read multiple times during her third month
• Where's Mr Owl - love the felt flaps.
• Goodnight stories for rebel girls

Gifts for parents - definitely something I am going to try to remember to do!

• Cake! - yum!
• Chocolate bars/Celebrations - so appreciated!
• Flapjacks for night feeds
• The New Mum's Notebook - love this notebook and it's advice.  Think it deserves it's own blog post!
• Nursing tops - worn everyday!

Miscellaneous

•  Bamboo MuslinZ muslins - noticeably stronger, softer and pleasanter than normal ones.
