When I buy baby clothes, I always buy them in a larger size (about 9 mos). As we all know, new moms get tons of clothes for infants and then have little to choose from a few months down the line. I figure it would be nice to have something on hand for when you wake up one morning and the baby no longer fits into anything!
Also, I always include a gift especially for mom; maybe a home spa kit, aromatherapy candles, pedicure set or the like. Everyone is oohing and aahhhing over the baby (and rightfully so!); however, they forget that she's the one who's been carting it around for nine months and will likely be up all night for a number of weeks. The moms always seemed touched that I had specifically thought of *them*.
