A maid to come in once a week for the first month to do basic housework (sweep, vacuum, wash floors, clean bathrooms, clean the kitchen, etc.). If they are going to use cloth diapers, pay for a diaper service for the first little while. A stroller. A carseat. Crib bedding (but find out if they have a theme). Perhaps they are registered somewhere and you can see what's on their list. Failing that, call one of the grandmothers because they'll likely know exactly what she wants.

My mate is having their first baby in a week or so, and not having procreated myself, need some ideas of a decent gift. What is a really nice thing to have that you would have liked to get in the same situation. Its a boy, if that makes any odds. g. ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~
