Hi C.,
The most wonderful gift I recieved when my daughter was born was a "boom box" and some lullaby cd's. It sounds ordinary but my daughter is going to be 4 this month and she still goes to be with music. I started playing it when she was about 4 months old and it is a nightly tradition. It calms her down and she feels like there is someone in the room with her so she's not scared. It's a gift that they never outgrow! That has now become my standard baby shower gift. Nobody ever registers for it and they all love it.
Good luck and congratulations on your new family member.
