Ok all you moms.... what was the most touching gift you received after you had your baby?

I haven't had my little guy yet - but I think anything hand made is very special. I recieved a crocheted sweater and hat set with matching blanket from my grandma for my shower and I know it is something I will keep forever.

I agree with that. My Aunt crocheted him a set that included a sweater, booties, a hat, and a beautiful blanket.

Re: Gifts for new baby

While these are both excellent ideas (thank you for posting them), I need something that doesn't require any crafty skills!

Re: Gifts for new baby

not so much 'touching' but I put together a baby first aid kit for a friend of mine...(along with receiving blankets and bibs)

one day she says to me...Daniel was crying last night b/c he had gas...and I looked in your kit...and there were gas drops!!! and he went right to sleep!!

my new thing is knitting blankets...and its not so hard...especially if you do a baby sized blanket

Okay, I know this ISN'T the topic, but what exactly are gas drops? I never heard of them, and I think Rebecca might have some gas!

Lauren, Mylecon drops are the best for gas!! I gave them to Gianna when she had that whole gas problem when she was about a month!!! They really worked and she would suck on the dropper because she liked the taste!

Gift ideas: I also got a BUNCH of handmade stuff from my MIL, aunt, grandmother-in-law and various other people. But since you want something not crafty, then how about something personalized? I got a blanket with Gianna's name and date of birth on it and a couple of silver photo albums engraved with her name on it.
