Yes, my IL have not yet gotten anything for baby.
Honestly, I can't think of anything we need but they feel the need to get him something (if only so I can write it in the baby book).
They are willing to spend $100-200.
What do we actually need? I'd like to get something useful. The only think I can think of so far is a car seat for when he outgrows the bucket since DD will be in hers (it's a Britax Marathon so good to umpteen pounds) for quite a while.
Anything else I might be overlooking? We have a borrowed swing and a small rocker/vibrating thing, a jolly jumper for a bit later, an embarrassing number of slings, enough cloth dipes to get by (I think), probably good for clothes, although I'll just pick up some used if we're missing anything. We have a high chair for him for later. No exersaucer but I hardly used it for DD (returned it to the people who loaned it to us) and I'm pretty sure I won't need it for him.
Also, they are not going to want to order anything online. They are definitely TRU/BRU kinda people.
I could also ask them to give me the money and I'd put it in his bank account.

: , but I'd probably buy a double stroller-my back doesn't handle carrying/wearing babies all the time once they're about 6 months and my toddler wears out walking after a several blocks.
