Help needed with baby gift

From DH's work, for my 2nd, we got really nice personalized towels and tote bags for each kid with their names on it. Both are incredibly useful, and not things we already had or couldn't use more of (in contrast, we got like 6 pink baby blankets for the first baby, which was total overkill, especially since our kids names aren't super common so harder to pass on and we don't need to save half a dozen blankets for them).

Another option could be a super nice baby book like the Artifact Uprising one.

I realize these still don't get you to your total amount, but we already had all the baby gear we needed so a bouncer, etc. would have been returned. We also didn't publicize our registry until after the baby was born, which depending on cultural traditions, could be the case, so you could wait and see if they have a registry after birth.

I'm PP - just remembered, for my first, DH's work got us a baby bjorn travel crib. I think that or the lotus or a slumber pod or something along those lines could be nice - we didn't have that on our registry, but much easier to set up and lighter to travel with than a pack n play if you know they like to travel.
