1) Don't try to outdo others with your gift.Just because you can afford to spend more than most people doesn't necessarily mean you should do so.An extravagant gift may indeed be remembered,but not necessarily in a good way.
2) Do not send personalized gifts unless you know the family well.
3) Don't give blankets.With the sleep recommendations these days, parents can't use blankets with infants.
4) Don't assemble any baby gifts unless you are absolutely positive that the new parents want what you've gotten them.Baby gifts that are put together aren't so easily returned.Only assemble a gift if you're buying something off the registry or when the recipients have specifically asked for what you're giving them.
