What's a decent present for a new born Boy

Money is the most boringly useful. Otherwise go to the Early Learning Centre and choose something for when he's about a year old.

Interesting fact : Auckland Zoo dubs them 'Orangutans' with no letter 'g'. I never did look up the taxonomy so I'm not sure what is correct.

Pretty sure that's just a 'fact'.

That's very interesting, please stay and enlighten us with more interesting facts Magnolia.
 
Dont' start a savings account, you have to be very careful when setting them up and personally I wouldn't touch one that someone else made in my childs name as legally it's a bit of a grey area regarding access, ownership and of course inheritance if it's made by someone who dies before the child is at an age to take ownership.

Give cash/ gift tokens and your time. Nothing else is required, chances are they'll have 10x the outfits they need, 5x the toys but nobody buying nappies, sudocrem or offering to pop round for a chat*

Let them put the money into a savings account if that's what they want, dont' open one up for the kid - unless it's yours.

*other than the mother in law.

This is a good idea, smoking makes you cool. You don't want the kid being bullied in the playground do you? Get them smoking from a young age. You're doing the right thing.

I know, right?

Never done me no harm. Apart from that minor health thing, but still - worth it!!

This is the most irresponsible thing I've ever read. You cannot give a baby cigarettes - even red ones. Cigarettes have been proven to cause major health issues and it would be unfair in the extreme to introduce a newborn to such things. I'm pretty sure that Social Services would take a dim view of it, too. I'm not even certain that he'd be able to draw through one properly, so those posters saying it would make him look cool are wrong: all his mates would know he wasn't inhaling and brand him a pansy.

Think next time, yeah?

With sufficient coaching, it'll be able to inhale properly. You just have to beat the child and keep it in its hutch until it figures out how to smoke properly.
