Okay, you could buy diapers on the internet and have then shipped, but that is kindda weird. BELIVE ME new moms need diapers. The cost of diapers is sooo pricey now. Maybe you could get a gift card and a pack of baby crawlers (which is like baby clothes... baby jump suits) I think they call them something else. Babies spit up and poop soooo much, so the gift card covers diapers and the crawlers will cover the many many times the baby will spit up all over her clothes.

newborn diapers
The "newborn" aren't for weight they are for a cut out for the umbilical cord to heal. So the weights are the same for newborn and size one.
My son was 3 - he still argued with me that he wanted diapers! (sm)
It is not a sign of delayed development or anything like that. My son is even in AG now at age 10. But at age 3 he argued with me when I said, "no more diapers." He said, "Yes! Diapers!" And for the next week and a half he peed on every item in my house! He removed couch cushions and peed on the part underneath. He peed in my office chair. He spent half his time in time-out and half his time peeing. Not in time-out for accidents, but time-outs for the plotted out, planned locations of protest - like removing the couch cushion. After that week, he decided he was tired of peeing everywhere and started going to the bathroom. Every time he went, my husband and I would do a konga line dance down the hall singing "pee-pee in the pot-ty..." The things we do to get rid of diapers LOL! Anyhow, when my daughter was barely 2, my son, then 5, decided to potty train her. He did. He got her to sit on the potty and made such a big game of it that she thought it was great. He would bring her cups of water so she could go more. It was hilarious. Okay, enough potty talk for one day! Good luck!
Diapers and baby wipes
Everybody buys the bibs, bath lotions, and Onesies (which I personally hated, could not tolerate snapping and unsnapping all the time for diaper changes).
I always buy a ton of diapers in varying sizes and a crate of baby wipes. At first the expectant mom thinks it is weird, but give it a month or two, and they think it is greatest gift ever! They use them every day and they get to be a big expense.
The best thing for dirty diapers - mini diaper bags at the dollar store that sm
smell like powder. You get 50 to a bag - they are little blue plastic bags. Tie the poopie up tight in the bag and VOILA! throw it in your trash and no smell!
