Meaningful Baby Gift

Please help me to select a meaningful gift for a newborn that is not money. I would like to give something that has meaning in the Japanese cultural tradition...health, happiness etc. Please reply asap.
Many thanks.

So far the gifts I've given to my friends with newborn babies have always been baby clothing - their relatives would have given them other clothing as well, so I always make it a habit to ask the friend what they might still be missing :) They might also ask for something different, such as decorative photo frames.
I don't think there is any "traditional" baby gifts with cultural significance... if any, the family and the relatives together take the baby to a temple/shrine to wish for the baby's well-being, and they would get some lucky charm on their own on that occasion. That is not really something that you would give as a friend.

Are there any reasons you seek "traditional" gifts (if any)? You will probbly get better advise if you can explain your situation. Because as far as I know, Japanese mothers appreciate practical gifts and gifts that are unique to the sender's culture.

I very much appreciate your responses. A baby is such a precious gift that I wanted to show respect for the culture while giving my "blessing" and hopes for a bright future to this tiny baby. I wanted to give a spiritual gift as a token of my love for her. Your suggestions and explanation were most helpful. Thank you
