He mostly got soft toys - the kind that he could hopefully keep until he has kids of his own. He also has little toys that DH and I used to play with and even one that my Dad was given when he was born.
Toby really loved Lamaze toys so I would recommend those too
We bought her a set of books for when she's much bigger and a couple of lamaze toys - the musical inchworm (which became toy number 1 very quickly and stayed so for about 6 months) and the foot & wrist finders which were a complete waste of time - no interest at all on her part.
HTH
we had a teddy bear that used to be my Oh's when he was a baby, a wooden caterpillar that used to be mine when I was a baby, a set of dumbo the elephant gifts - a photoframe, a trinket box and a dumbo soft toy that plays music...
my mum and dad gave her a blanket that was mine when i was a newborn - its gorgeous hand-appliqued with a scene of hills, houses and a hot air balloon in the clouds. so special...
oh's mum knitted her lots of little cardigans and bought a 'baby's first christmas decoration'
sentimental things are best
