Kate's Shower

Gift Ideas

After consultation with Kate and Steve, here are some gift ideas:

*Amazon gift certificates for diapers and wipes

  (Kate and Steve order all their diapers and wipes from Amazon so they can be delivered right to their condo.)

*California Baby brand (no fragrance) sunscreen & lotion

*Burt's Baby Bees brand Shampoo & Body Wash

*Burt's Baby Bees brand Apricot oil (to avoid cradle cap)

*A few larger-size absorbent burp cloths

*Outback Steakhouse gift certificates for their take-away window or gift certificates to other restaurants. 

*A "share" (donation of money) toward the purchase of a double stroller, a car seat, a toddler bed, or grandparent housing in July

*Money toward babysitters (for the time after the grandparents return home to IN and FL)

*A pass to the Bronx zoo, for Steve to take Susannah some Sat afternoon

*Massage coupons for Kate

*Certificates for pedicures and manicures for Kate

*Poem or song you create for Steve and Kate OR for the new baby

*Gift certificate to Fresh Direct, the online grocery from which Steve and Kate will be ordering their groceries

*Children's books

And, something NOT to buy, no matter how tempted you are, is a cute outfit for new Baby Rogers.  Kate says they have oodles of clothes and have no place to store them all.  Nine hundred square feet is not conducive to "extras."  Keep this in mind, too, in regard to toys.  Things need to be small.

Of course, we all wish we could give them the gift of sleep!
