SIL wants to buy our nb a gift. What do you suggest?

[jaceraden]

SIL/BIL bought us a great carseat when we had dd (our first). It was a great sale but still a big purchase IYKWIM. Fast forward to now - we just had ds and they want to get us another big item. Problem is that we pretty much have all the basics.
- carseats galore
- strollers
- highchair (dd should be grown out of it by the time ds needs it)
- pack n play
- bouncers
- swing (we actually could use a non battery swing but the one we have actually is SIL's old one and it would be awkward to explain why we need a new one )

What would you suggest for her to get us? Any thoughts?

My Mom stopped by the hospital the day we had DS and gave us this. Not sure if she thought I was giving birth to a 6 month old....

Money for a class, like Music or Gymboree. We never seem to have the money for these kinds of extras.

I second this. As much as we insisted that we would do just as many photos of DD as we did of DS....well, time has been lacking and money a bit tighter. We take a TON at home, but I just can never seem to make it to the photo studio to have them done...or they end up being of both kiddos because I can't manage to go with just one kid We give this to all of our close family members at baby showers now. Can't go wrong with pics
