So, our friends have a newborn, born last week. I did not do a gift at the time of the shower (and wasn't able to attend), but I wanted to do a welcome gift now. I'd been wanting to try freezer-paper stenciling, and I made these (baby's name is Seamus, his in-utero nickname was Mango):

These were fun to do and the parents have indicated they like homemade gifts, but I wanted to get a little something else, as well. They still have a lot of stuff on their registry . . . after your baby was born, did you still want the stuff on your registry? (Assuming you had one, of course.) Or had you pretty much gotten yourself everything you needed in preparation for baby's arrival and the stuff left on the registry was still there because you were kind of tepid on it at that point? I'm trying to decide what to pad this gift with . . . Or maybe, since there's already a personalized aspect to the gift, a gift-certificate to the place their registry is from? I have no idea what if anything they still need.
