So your friends have had a baby, and you're wondering what present to get them for the infant. Here are a few ideas to get you thinking .

The most obvious baby gift choice is clothes. If you are not sure what the gender of the baby is, pick something neutral such as white, yellow or green for a gender-neutral baby gift. On the other hand, baby clothes aren't exactly an original gift, and the couple might already be well stocked with them. But you do have some unusual alternatives for baby clothes such as the diaper "cupcakes", another unique presentation that makes a whimsical newborn present.

Toys are favorite gifts, though it can be difficult to know what to get for an infant. Mobiles and other brightly colored things can be fun but if you know the color scheme the parents have chosen it helps to make a decision based on their theme. Rattles and soft toys are welcome and baby can always use a spare. Parents often appreciate getting educational baby toys and will enjoy the many days of discovery with their child.
