Calling all Grans

I'm looking for some advice as I'm very out of touch with all things baby these days.
My niece is about to have her third baby in October and I'm assembling a present for the new arrival.
I have said I will get the baby bath, the top and tail bowl and the changing mat. It all looks so boring so I want to kind of tart it up with some nice things. I'm going to get a hooded towel....and recommendations on a good one.
I also want to get some baby body creams and wash.....her other kids both had incredibly sensitive skin so I need some recommendations for them too.
Any other ideas of what I can put together to turn a practical present into something a wee bit more thoughtful.

Aww, that's lovely HB and a great gift idea.
My DIL always buys organic and paraben free lotions and potions for my grandsons. They do some lovely items on Amazon, although they are a tad expensive. Cetaphil Baby is a lovely one
Also maybe a cute little rubber duck!
Does your niece know the sex of the baby yet?
Very exciting - I love babies, especially when they are newly born!

When my friend had her 1st I did exactly that: bath, bucket, bowl; bucket filled with flowers in the appropriate colour, two small bath towels lining the bath as well as Johnson baby products - talc, body wash, 'q' tips as well as some nice soaps for the new Mum

It's a little boy PN. There has been a wee bit of concern that he is a bit small for dates but as of last Friday he was just over 4lbs, and another nine weeks to go.
Great ideas ladies....keep them coming. Just want to make it a wee bit special.

Bless him, I feel sure he will catch up. It is sometimes in the last few weeks there can be a growth spurt!
I like the idea CLKD had of flowers and soaps. Nice to spoil Mum after all her hard work!

Hb - check out Project B - I did it for my daughter whereby you have a monthly box of goodies geared to the relevant month of pregnancy. I realise that's not relevant for your niece but they also a new baby box which is like a hamper of things new mum and baby will need - it's really nice. I can't seem to copy and paste the link sorry xx maybe worth checking out xxx

My niece gets the feeling she will not go full term but we have a viable baby, so that's the important bit.
Fingers and legs crossed...a very small baby is difficult.
Really looking forward to a cuddle with a brand new little life. I love babies
