My form tutor's wife is pregnant, due today, but it's not come yet...so i've organised my form, and we're all putting some money together to get a card for him and his wife, and a teddy or something for the baby...of course...there's no Mothercare anymore, so where can i get a teddy for the baby...?

boots do baby toys, or the early learning centre. just check on the label that it's suitable for a newborn. ones from card shops are probably not suitable for new babies.

I think there are better options for a gift rather than a teddy - we were given a couple when my son was born and they just get moved around, and covered in baby spit!
I am guessing you are in the US from the fact you say tehre is no mothercare anymore? As someone has said, Mothercare is still around in the Uk, if you are in the UK and there isn't one near you, you can order online.
However, why not consider either something practical like a nappy cake or a baby bouquet? (baby bouquets look like flowers but are actually made up of baby clothing)
These are UK links, but I am sure you can find soething similar for wherever you are:

http://www.bouquetbouquet.co.uk/product.asp?numPageStartPosition=1&P_ID=50&strPageHistory=&strKeywords=&strSearchCriteria=&PT_ID=13
They are both pretty and practical, and are likely to be remembered long after the teddy has gone to the charity shop!
Alternatively, a nice keepsake like a picture frame, album, engraved money box would all be cherished, and would be a lasting reminder of your form to your tutor.

Why is there no Mothercare anymore? We have lots here in England. Their website is www.mothercare.co.uk
The main problem is that you need to check the labelling to ensure that a teddy is suitable for a newborn baby - most specify not to be given to children under 3 - so a proper baby store is your best bet.

As a mother to 2 kids, one of them is 1year old, avoid teddies at all cost! They just accumulate and end up getting given away! Proper baby gift boxes like the ones for christening or a piggy bank or even photo albums or frames are much more useful.

I don't know what a form is... I'm guesing you're not from the US because I'm not sure what Mothercare is either- maternity leave maybe? I'm also not sure what's all with the background story but you can buy a teddybear at a toy store.

sweet thought, but just for advice, avoid teddies - the parents always get so many, we always wind up having to give lots away... the card will be a keepsake, how 'bout a pack of diapers, or a dvd like baby mozart or something? Just a thought, good luck!

Can I be totally honest, maybe reconsider the present, Teddies just collect dust and not many children play with them.
How about a funky photo album, educational toy, first bedtime story book (humphries corner ones are lovely).
