Dan is special to us.  We have hakaras hatov.  If we want to do something special for him and Mimi, it has to be something that they wouldn't have bought themselves ot something that they haven't bought yet, but wanted.  Do you really think giving a gift certificate is meaningful and efficient?  The amount of a VGC would be pennies to them; a gift certificate at a particular store will force them to go to that store versus going to any store they choose, whenever they want; you think they don't have magnatiles with three kids already??  I think someone should get in touch with someone who knows them and ask what is being said outside of ddf doors (Bubby Eleff, maybe?)  She will know both families. 

If we don't go that route, something personalized is always appreciated.  Baby's name on a knitted or softie blanket.  Little name bracelets for the two girl JJ babies.  The third and Dan's?  Bathrobes with their Hebrew names embroidered (in a toddler floor length size to last a while)

I agree 100% ! And asking someone I don't think they will know what will be an ideal present ..
And that why from the beginning I said that an idea of a personalized blanket in my opinion it's an excellent idea .. ! But also bracelet will be just fine !

I agree 100%.

Just saying, the options you mentioned from the poll, gift card, magna tiles etc. are from the last time.
For this time I think majority of people agreed that personalized baby blankets were the way to go.

Great!  There will be enough money for four blankets.  I haven't been following the thread religiously.  Indeed, I just responded to the suggestions I saw in the poll.  Last time, meaning...last baby?  :-[

It was in 2013, I think it was for his second child.

I am not crazy about giving/receiving blankets as it is kinda generic.
I've never seen a baby shower/Bris/Kiddush where the family didn't end up with four/five blankets to add to all the other ones from previous births.

I liked the idea of personalized bathrobes for the Babies/Toddlers.

Thanks.  I could use some likes.  :-[   I think bathrobes are more unique, but baby blankets can last a lifetime and be cherished.  These (I hope) could be that kind where they are SO personalized.  I don't want to post a picture...just in case...so at least part of it will be a surprise.  :D

My experience: you can never have too many good quality blankets. They always come in handy, and the expensive ones last a long time.
