    Thanks for the good ideas!!
    Going to go to town on Friday and buy everything. Being a small town, everything here is twice the price so its better to wait to go to a bigger town.

    So, after taking your ideas... here's what I'm thinking, but i know I'll go mad and buy heaps.

    1 little outfit, towelling. (Winter bub needs to be warm)
    A hat.
    Maybe one of those 7 piece sets?? Comes with a long suit, a short suit, hat, mittens, jumper, pants and a bib. Bit hard to buy one of those because we don't know if its a boy or girl.
    A soft toy for when bub's a bit older. Kmart usually has some cute giraffes or something.
    A rattle.
    Some J&J bath stuff. We have HEAPS of bath stuff, and you only use 2 pumps at a time. So for only a few dollars its a huge bargain!
    Some nappy powder.
    Picture frame.
    A blankie

    Oh man, I just know I'll go mad! I love buying baby stuff. Its all so tiny and cute.

    Maybe try to get some Gaia baby stuff instead of J&J as it is organic and not as harsh on baby's skin.

    Do you bake? How about some lactation cookies (with recipe attached). Or even some choc chip cookies or anzacs? I have a good link for a cookies in jar mix recipe (comprising all the ingredients in a jar which they make themselves) if you want it.

    Me?? Bake?? lol No.... but I wish I'd heard of lactation cookies when I got home with DD. My milk disappeared and thats why DD is now formula fed.
    I'd like to bake, but I just don't get the time. And when I moved in with DP he had nothing. I tried to bake and the only flour he had had expired 3 years earlier.
    No baking trays. No basic baking ingredients. I couldn't even make a packet mix cake because he didn't have a cake tin, or an electric mixer or anything. He didn't even have a can opener!!
    Such a typical bloke. The house is slowly getting more and more stuff.

    I'll try and find some Gaia stuff, where does it get sold??
