what is the most useful present I can get my brother and sister-in-law when their baby is born? Most people get clothes, but I want to get them something special. budget.
I got my friend a photographer voucher for £20. They take a 6" x 8" photo of the baby at three, six, nine and twelve months and frame it. She still has it on display 7 years later
For new babies in our families, we always buy a mint set of coins of the year they were born. They come in a nice presentation folder and are a lovely keepsake for the family. About £20. http://www.royalmint....e/occasions/baby.aspx
tiggerblue10 has a good answer. I used the cash people gave me, to buy premium bonds for the children. As each year passes, the wins are added to their bank accounts.
