[quote=Anonymous]Yuck, skip the nose thing.

Either go off the registry, get a gift card or buy things for the child when older.   I didn't really do a registry as we adopted last minute.  We bought a lot of what we needed within a few days of getting our child.  My favorite gifts were the things we needed later - 6 month, 9 month and 12 month clothing.  A walker, a jumper thing, leap frog learning table, etc.  It was nice to have it put away and we could pull out when needed.  Then, most likely they do not have it.

For a basket, I usually will do feeding things.  A few different kinds of slippy cups, spoons, bowls, plates, a snack holder thing, etc.

I never give diapers as a kid could be sensitive, like mine and we could not use the heavy gels so I exchanged them or gave them away.

I don't buy medicine type stuff as that is parent specific.

Sometimes if I know a parent likes a sports team or loyal to their college, I'll get something from there to make it more personal.

To the person asking for expensive clothing - ok, I get its a special occasion but I'd never buy my kid expensive clothing, so I'm not going to get yours either.  If my kid gets a nice brand, its because it was on major clearance.  He looks far better dressed than what I actually spent.

Someone got us a Rody  - that's a fun gift for later too.

For a boy, get the Ikea basic train set - great first train to start with (not a fan of Ikea except that).[/quote]
