I think these reversible pillowcases would be a pretty cute gift for new parents.

"This funny, reversible pillowcase set is the perfect way to help sleep deprived new parents avoid late night misunderstanding about who’s turn it really is. Embroidery on one side reads: On Duty; on the other Off Duty...just don’t forget to turn over the pillow. 250 thread count cotton. Fits standard size pillows. These are identical pillowcases sold as a set of two."

The New Museum Store has quite a collection of intriguing items, and this Security Blanket caught my eye.

Only 100 of these blankets were produced - Each one and is signed and numbered on its own sewn-on ultra-suede patch by the Artist Chrissy Conant."
