What are some great gift ideas to give parents of a newborn baby or a child?

A bunch of my friends are starting to have kids now, so I want to give them a gift that is really useful and thoughtful. I usually fall back on either a bib, little baby clothes, onesies, or a gift certificate to Target. Is there anything more unique or more useful I can get the parents? Are there any customized gifts that are good? Since I don't have kids, I am clueless! Thanks!

Answer
Newborns - DIAPERS DIAPERS AND MORE DIAPERS. I know it's boring, but it is VERY useful. Diapers are expensive and babies go through a TON. They are also ok if you get the wrong size, because they are very easily exchangable with or without a receipt.

Fantastic gift for toddlers - they have music CD's and books that you can order personalized with the children's name. Like my daughter (2 years old) has an Elmo CD that says "Come on Mia, let's play a game!" and she just LOVES it. She will listen to it over and over again...

My oldest (five years old) has many books that are personalized with her name printed into the story and she just thinks that is cooler than snot. :)

Also a really nice gift that I have been given in the past was blankets and pillowcases with the children's names embriodered along the edges. It was very nice, and I knew they had put some thought into it. Don't know if you know anyone who does sews, but you should be able to find several shops that do it on commision as well.

Good luck to you! Hope I helped.... :)

Baby gifts for the parents who have everything?

My friend just had a baby and she and her husband already have everything they need--and they are financially well-off, so they won't need diapers or formula. I would like to give them a great and lasting gift, not just a jumper or a blanket. I was thinking of something more along the lines of a savings bond or something else kind of unrelated to newborn babies, but I think it may be too impersonal. Again, I would like a gift that would last a long time. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.
These are such great ideas! Thanks everyone!

One of those little silver boxes to keep lost teeth for the tooth fairy (often found with a fairy on the lid!). Every child only ever has one. Its a keepsake for life, but also something that actually gets used for a few years instead of just put away in a drawer.
