I was gifted a Cuddledry Hands-free baby towel when I had my first child 14 years ago and it was THE BEST present I received, bar none! Since then, it's become my "go-to" gift to all my first-time-parents friends. I've bought 3 in the last 2 months alone!
A cuddledry towel and a handmade card from me are ALWAYS appreciated!
