It includes mostly disposable diapers (6 different sizes, different brands, same items listed over and over again), some random winnie the pooh stuff including a wooden trash can and fleece blankets, 2 different wipes warmers, a size 12 months swim suit, a size newborn winter coat (baby is due early september), several different diaper bags, 3 or 4 different swings, some "learn to read" books and toys designed for older children, tons and tons of wipes, and a few random unnecessary nursery decorating items in a variety of colors and themes. None of the regular onesies and crib sheets, and nothing to do with dinosaurs! WTF. I'm very confused! I'm going with my boyfriends mom and want to take a respectable gift. I'm leaning towards gift card but what fun is that?!

I got a child's laundry basket and filled it with a receiving blanket, baby laundry detergent, shampoo, nighttime calming baby soap, regular baby soap,baby lotion, a package of baby washcloths, a baby towel, a "travel set" that included small sizes of baby shampoo, baby soap, wipes, a changing pad, and plastic bags to dispose of diapers in, diaper cream, and lotion, and bought a teddy bear to make it cute I wrapped it all up in one of those cellophane bags with a big bow and tied a small rubber ducky on the outside.

I couldn't tell for sure if she didn't think she needed those typical things or maybe her mom had already gotten her a lot of stuff like that? I doubt it though. They both really are dumb. I want to know what the dinosaur theme is all about.

I did that with a good friend of mine, and she was so pleased and she didn't thnkof the nail clippers and aspirator. Good luck and have fun.

I tried to think of all of the stuff I knew she would forget to buy, and threw it all in a diaper bag.
