My son and ddil had my first and they tell me only grandbaby last year. They are sort of "minimum footprint" sort of people anyway. They did a registry on Amazon or something. I made a quilt because of course I would
I really restrained myself which was good because they got more of everything than they'd ever need.
On the good side of Covid, my son's been working from home and Liz had just gone back to work when everything hit. Ikea closed their stores early on the side of caution, before the state moratoriums went down. So although they are 2 adults, 2 cats, and a baby in a 600 SF 1 bedroom, it's so rare and special that Mommy and Daddy and Baby can spend this early time together. I tell them the typical log cabin was even smaller, 15x20 feet and no running water. Bless their hearts, they are so well suited for each other. I would be terrible cramped in that apartment.
Anyway, I told the kids that if the baby came early the only thing you really need is a car seat. Seriously, you can put the baby in a dresser drawer once you are home but must be safely gotten from the Hospital. I wanted to buy so many things and told myself "just don't". Again, they were given more of everything than they every needed. I did pick up some little practical things like lingerie bags to wash the tiny garments in. They don't have any hanger space or I would have gotten some little coat hangers.
I live close enough to do visit -- before Covid shut down Seattle anyway. I made suitable freezer meals (they are vegan), and was able to do a few loads of laundry for them too.
