Depends on the parents, a nice bottle of Champagne is great. Consider she's not been able to imbibe for some time. Conceivably, she can now. I know that with breastfeeding some women still won't touch it, but she can.

Also depends on how much $ you want to spend. Gift certificate to their favorite restaurant with a promise to babysit? Spa for the mother.

One really cool gift we got was from my cousin Samantha. She gave us a mixed CD of songs ideal for a baby/child that weren't "kids songs" but were soothing.

Where the Sidewalk Ends?

What are their interests? She plays guitar? Get the baby a mini-guitar. He's a writer? Monogrammed writing-paper with the baby's initials.

Actually, baby's initials on anything is usually a big hit. Shows you put some time/thought in to it.

Hope this was helpful.

Yeah, for sure, thanks! I don't really know what actuaries are into though. Math? I guess I could go with booze and make a brown bag puppet or something. Kid's like, 10 days old though. I don't even know if they can smile at that age. Oh well, good things to think about.

-Not really. If they do smile, it's coincidental and usually involves passing gas. -Actuary? Get him the kids version of "Risk" or an monogrammed abacus :)

Ha! Nice, now to find out where to get an abacus . . .
