There used to be a "time capsule" in stores, it's the size of a big popcorn tin, comes with a baby book for the parents to fill out. The idea is to fill it with info and things from the day/year of the birth and seal it for the child to open on 18th birthday, or when they have their first child. Everyone I ever bought one for LOVED it.

I love giving unusual gifts myself.
Last time I gave a baby gift, I found a diaper pail, Added in some wipes, electrical outlet plugs, cabinet locks, a basket that fit into the dishwaher for bottle nipples and rings, a nice baby medical kit, with baby nail clippers, a nose sucker, a thermometer, etc.
I included some mylacon drops and infant tylenol, rash ointment, night light etc. All very useful but often overlooked items.
Take your time, look around, I heard about a medicine dispenser pacifier and a thermometer pacifier, these might also be useful to add into the mix.
If you do get her some pacifiers, don't forget the holders, they clip onto babys clothes so if it falls out it won't get lost.
Good luck
I

The gift I always get for baby shower's is a diaper bag (one can never have too many) full with the diaper bag accessories. A cute lil baby outfit (onesies here) Then to go with that I buy the johnson and johnson gift bath basket. But I hope this helps :D

All you could particularly do is pray for endurance and want her properly. only shop in concepts, the first grandchild became your newborn. there is continually a touch anamosity between siblings and in-regulations even as it contains the youngsters. your sister-in-regulation can ought to attend to alot more beneficial unsolicited advice from the relations than you'll. now to not educate that each and every man or woman else will be taking on the elevating of her newborn. only shop in concepts she might want to be the newborn having a touch one, yet you've been the man having babies and elevating them the way you spot in good condition. I genuinely have a feeling that she will be able of be overwhelmed via each and every of the interest that ultimately she will be able of blow up and damage some feeling each and every of ways around the board.

I am a mom of almost three (due with 3rd in Dec.) and my favorite little gift was a Hallmark 'Mom-to-be" Christmas ornament that had the year on it (1996 & one in 2003). All of the 2006 Hallmark ornaments are out (I just bought ours today). I love hanging them on the tree every year and remembering that pregnancy. It will be neat to have them when I am 80 and still decorating the tree;-) Just a thought!

Make a cake from diapers. Add little baby things to it for decorations. I saw one before and it was beautiful. Also able to use once the baby is born. It is very creative and shows you put time into it.

I would congratulate her and hug her (or however you express love in your family), and then don't do anything baby related until further along. Alot of women lose that first pregnancy, and then on top of that grief, everyone else is uncomfortable too. Growing a baby is a process, allow it to follow its course and when she's alittle further along give her something she really needs like a massage or spa treatment. Throw her a great shower about a month before the baby is born.

Get her one of those baby sling things, and make some badges for her to put on it. Or decorate it yourself with some fabric paint. If you know the sex of the baby when you do that, try some girl-or-boy designs. Otherwise it's best to stick with neutral designs.
Another thing I saw today that I think is great is colored cloth nappies (diapers if you're american). They were in bright, outrageous colors like fluro pink and red and electric blue, emerald green, etc... I looked at them and it struck me as such a simple but interesting and fun thing to get. Too bad we're going to use disposable nappies when we get our baby.

Although it's a wonderful idea to get this for her, why not wait until the baby shower? You need to know what she is going to need. That's your best bet. But here is an idea.... why not this book...
What To Expect When You're Expecting by Eisenberg, Murkoff, and Hathaway. Good luck!
