Default Just need some ideas for a gift!

Im making up a little gift foor a friend of mine who is pregnant with her first. She is going to use cloth, but quite happy to use terry squares. Im going to buy her 2 mcn's and am making up a bucket of all things nappy changing.

So far I have:
20 facewashers (for wipes)
1 pack of eenee's flushable liners
A medium wetbag
A box of smelly nappy bags

Im wondering if thats enough. I thought about popping in some nappy rash cream, but unsure what to get because of the mcn's. Thats why I got the liners.

I also thought maybe some QV bathoil and sorbolene cream.

Any more idea's? Im just not sure, because she might have something in mind she'd rather use yk? Any bath and skin products you recommend?

Thanks

I would prefer Gaia, I just had a bad experience with aromababy here. Im sure its excellent stuff, but my little girl got a really violent rash from the shampoo.

Has anyone used Gaia? Is it good?

What about some good pul covers, if she isn't already aware of the difference between them and the cheapo pvc ones.

We love Gaia products here, I avoided the aromababy as it has almond oil in it and is best avoided if you have a family history of nut allergies

I second the snappis- and at least 2 of them.....coz they seem to gown legs and walk (at least in my house they do!!)

I agree with the snappies and good PUL cover (our favourites are bummis)
Flushable liners can't be used until the poo is solid (so at least 6 months) so a metre of microfleece cut into liners would be handy (and great for flats too)
What are the smelly bags for?
