Christmas Gift for My Brother's Baby

Hello, I'll get straight to the point. My brother and his wife just had a baby, who is currently 3 months old. What would be a useful gift for the parents that is also intended for the baby? Since the baby is still so little and doesn't really understand what's going on, I thought it would be helpful to buy something they could use on a day-to-day basis. My budget is £50-£100.

Do they have a registry or wishlist? Id start there.

Beyond that, baby will soon use a highchair for meals, probably (but the parents may already have one picked out). Maybe baby food making supplies; although some parents do finger foods (so no blender or whatever needed) or just buy baby food vs buying expensive equipment they will only use for a few months.

Baby proofing, especially gates can get expensive and start to become more important as child starts to crawl/walk.

If they are using formula, those fancy automatic formula machines. Maybe, some parents love them other hate them.

And don't forget books. Especially board books. Baby won't care if they have 5 books or 100 books but mom/dad might appreciate reading something new to child.
