I recommend gift vouchers. Have a look around and see who stocks the pram/cot etc that you like then tell everyone to get you a gift voucher to that store.

If you don't like gift vouchers, ask people to get you clothing in a variety of sizes. I asked for size 0 and absolutely loved having a wardrobe that covers bubs from newborn to 6mths+. A lot of people bought clothes in 0000 and 000 and they are only in them for a few weeks at best.

I asked the folks at work to put money into a gift voucher and then put the money towards the pram I wanted, which made things a heck of a lot easier.
