A friend of mine has just announced that she and her husband are expecting their first baby! This is always great news, as it's an excuse to get the knitting needles out and go shopping for frilly socks, stuffed animals and cute, little baby clothes.
Somehow, the news of a new baby always takes me back to the good old days when my babies were actually babies. At that time there were hardly any Internet stores around, so we trolled the brick and mortar ones looking for baby clothes, toys and furniture. These days there are many shopping websites available to choose from. I was just informed about a site which stocks several of the brand names like barefoot dreams, jellycat and appaman collections for babies and kids.
I'm off to look for some tiny treasures for an even tinier person. I don't know what he/she will look like yet, but I'm sure that a soft cuddly toy and some warm filly socks will a perfect present.
What's your favourite present to give to a newborn?

Baby clothes are oh so cute! I love the pastel colours for both boys and girls although boys outgrow pastels very quickly :)
My friend's 3rd grandchild arrived this morning, so I will be shopping for a gift. Your post came at an appropriate moment. I will be shopping for frilly socks as it was a little girl!
For girls, I like to shop for dresses, hats, and shoes! For boys, caps, socks and shoes..I love the smell of babies!
Good shots!!! Fantastic!!

I'm going to be a first time grandmother and I have no idea what to look for so this came just in time. In my time there was no internet and I'm looking forward to doing it this way.
Congrats, MOnique! Shopping online can be great, can't it?
I haven't given it a try yet. We will be going to Salisbury in a few weeks time and am looking forward to see what baby stuff is in shops now. Also by that time we should know the sex of the new baby. It's all very exiting Anne.
I love to crochet blankets.
