2. Look to see if the parents have a registry somewhere. You want to ensure that you are giving a gift that is useful for the couple and their specific lifestyle. You certainly do not want to give cloth diapers to parents who are not going to use them.
3. Diapers, diapers, diapers. It cannot be stressed enough that diapers and wipes are going to be needed by new baby. You simply can never go wrong giving diapers, wipes and other toiletries to the parents-to-be.
4. Bottles are a good idea as well. Pacifiers, bottle brushes and other feeding utensils are an excellent choice for new parents.

CDs and books are available that will help parents to be a bit more prepared for the changes that new baby is going to make in their lives.
