need baby gift

Long story short - SIL had a baby at some point within the last 6 days. We don't know name, gender, condition, etc. Need to send a gift, but I'm clueless. There are also some special limitations I have to work around:

  • Cannot be electronic (it's going to a foreign country and they're on DC)
  • Cannot be language-oriented (so no books or things with words on them)
  • Has to be gender neutral - we don't know what the baby is
  • Cannot be "decorative" (e.g. bedding) because we don't know what the nursery looks like
  • Has to be easily shippable, e.g. fit into a standard size box, not overly fragile, etc. Ideally it's lightweight, but that's not necessary
  • Cannot be foods or perishables

This is their 2nd baby so most of the basics (safety things, hi-chair, etc.) should be taken care of.

I'd like to send something other than clothes, but with the restrictions above my creativity is pretty much tapped.

Any suggestions? For those with babies, is there something you got that's a must-have, that you maybe never thought of before you had kids?
