OK. Seeing as ED has now turned into Nappy Valley, I thought this would be the best place to ask some sound advice for a special gift for my brother and (french) sister-in-law's baby due very soon.


I don't want to buy a ?65 petit bateau / brora cardi grown out of in 2 weeks (which they've asked for - the cardi not the make) but what I'd really like is something hand made and special - and original. I don't have children, so I really have no clue about what someone might like , but I'd like some input from mums as to what is special!


Thanks so much!

The best baby gifts I received included a swaddle blanket (a lifesaver for newborn fussiness, its the magic blanket that helps our baby sleep soundly, ours is by Summer, sells on Amazon, and has velcro fasteners) and a nice blanket from the White Company's baby range (Little White Company), which is super soft, washes easily, and still looks lovely 3-months in. I too received some expensive clothing (still not used) and appreciated those two gifts the most. Good luck!

Maisy has a best friend called Tallulah, and there are lots of stories and products. Maybe not the main present, but if your name or nickname is Tallulah its something they will remember is from you. Our first daughter loved the stories. Not all presents need to be for immediate use, they will be swamped with gifts and clothes for 0-6 months and may appreciate a little story book - can be used for bedtime stories from six months.

    • Absolutely! If the "Non-crime hate speech" was to be handled by the PCSO's, that would free up the "real police" to handle serious crime such as muggings, theft, drugs, rape, violence etc ,etc, etc, etc. The "real police" shouldn't was precious time having a cuppa with the concerned law-abiding citizens. They should be out there fighting real crime.
    • Landells Road comes under the Dulwich Hill SNT, At their last meeting at Christ Church, car thefts were one to the statistics discussed. The problem is that everyone assumes that the police are useless, but so much crime goes unreported it sways the statistics and the wrong impression is given that the area has a low crime rate. It is known that certain roads are targeted for different reasons theft from cars, theft of cars, burglary etc Information given gets built up - Police can identify times of day, type pf vehicle etc and I have known them to 'stake out' in unmarked vehicles of an area which had an increase of incidents/criminal activity. There should be a cuppa with a coppa meeting at Christ Church on 25th November at 11 am. Dulwich Hill SNT will post details on EDF. There is also the quarterly evening  meeting in the first week of December . I will post date on here.
    • Some newspapers, such as The Times, organise deliveries throughout most of the UK. They obviously use subcontractors and I would rate their service as 9 out of 10. We used them previously before switching to Budgens on Half Moon Lane.  
    • I understand the possible illegal comments but some of these don’t justify the time and effort  that the police putting into these especially when I hear the resources are not there to investigate phone theft and muggings in the area that must be traumatizing for thoses involved, also I should of clarified i was saying all demos including far right and left
