These are all practical things that we would find really useful. We like cuddly toys and cute clothes, but you tend to get a lot of them and we found that ours, being on the larger side, grew out of the newborn clothes very quickly.

Baby-gros / sleepsuits

The practical babywear.

Spinny toy

Ours loved this from early on (6 weeks or so).

Muslins

Cloths for wiping / drying kids. You can never have too many. Plenty of places do some eg. Mothercare

Snooze shade

Keeps sun off the baby or provides a bit of darkness so they can sleep. Fits on almost everything (car seat, different prams). Invaluable in summer, we still use ours even in the winter. Surprisingly expensive although there is probably an unbranded version that's as good I haven't found.

There is also this, which we also have, and does a similar but slightly different job.

Star fleece

It is handy to quickly put on when you go somewhere a bit colder, without having to wrestle with arm/leg holes.

Thermal mugs

You'll do a lot of forgetting about tea / coffee until it gets cold. And worrying about spilling hot fluids on the baby. Or going for walks. A good thermal mug with a lid is handy.

We love the Camelbak Forge range. The Forge is the best and the Forge Divide is good if you only want to keep things warm for a short time. Wiggle seem to have the best prices

Buggy accessories

You end up pushing a buggy/pram around a lot. These will fit on some or all of them:

You can also get things like cup/smartphone holders that usually need to be matched to the exact buggy/pram/stroller because the frame tubing comes in different cross sectional shapes that in some cases are unique to a manufacturer.
