Ask what's on the list, not what feels traditional
The most useful new-baby gifts are rarely the cutest-looking ones in the shop - they're the practical things the parents have already been thinking about, from a proper pram to help with the first few sleepless weeks. A shared list means you're buying from their actual list, not guessing at tradition.
Split the big-ticket items with everyone who wants to help
The genuinely useful new-baby items - a pram, a cot, help with childcare costs - are often more than any one person wants to spend alone. A group pot lets grandparents, aunts, uncles, and friends all put something toward the same big thing, rather than a pile of smaller separate gifts.
