GREAT baby gift for VERY hard to please SIL. 2nd dc, 1st girl (long awaited). Will be totally spoiled, I'm sure. Must be an amazing gift-- SIL and MIL will be judging me (sadly, I kid you not).

        too foofy and lacey. Not hip or practical at all.

        and last time I was there (a year ago) all the stuff was made in China/India. Other stores still often made in the country of origin.

        OP here-- this sounds PERFECT, much to my dismay (I'm a practical/leaning toward hip mom, she's a floofy one!)

      - good idea, though, if you know what style she likes. I got a very contemporary "vase" as a wedding gift and it was nice but definitely not our style.

  - np: I would not do this. I got so many blankets with each dc. Plus, I really only like cotton and never used the poly ones (my LG gift was poly so I never used it).
