Remember: babies always need clothes, blankets, toys, nappies, and a lot of cleaning.
When buying clothes you could buy a size up: they grow quickly! Also remember what season it'll be when they will fit the clothes you buy.
A newborn present is for the parents as well as the baby so think about what type of presents would suit their family best !:
plastic/wooden, educational/silly, eco/Johnsons.
Every (new) mother likes presents too! A big bunch of flowers, or pampering things (nice bubble bath, face mask, or chocolate).
Presents don’t have to be expensive (or even bought) to be treasured. A home-made voucher offering ironing, a meal for two, cleaning etc is a wonderful way of offering help.
Shopping vouchers can be very useful (especially those accepted by the Bank of England): there are approximately 1000000000 things required when you have a new baby.
If you're feeling generous siblings of the new baby deserve a gift for being so clever by gaining a baby brother or sister.
You can always ask the parents what they need - there will be something!
