What are some great baby items under $15 dollars?

I’m making a baby basket for a relative and need some ideas.I don’t like to buy items that can only be used the first month so items that have an extended use or can be used later on are what i’m looking for. I already know the big items I am buying for her (like a bumbo) but need some fillers. This is her second baby and currently isn’t sure of the sex (though we find out soon!).
Any idea for items under dollars? The cheaper the better.

I agree w/ the bottle drying rack, but they also make one that’s foldable(and therefore storable and portable) for only 8 dollars, it also comes w/ a bottle brush, whereas the newer sprout one is 11 in store, and doesn’t come with the brush(bought a 2nd one tonight lol). A set or two of the linksy rings always comes in handy(those are 5 dollars and will help you hold stuff in the basket, you can roll up clothes/diapers etc and use those as a "napkin" ring. Get some cloth diapers. If she runs out of disposables, or decides to use cloth, it’s always great to have extras. If not, they make the best burp cloths and are great at catching spit up and keeping it from soaking into mommy’s shirt(though it doesn’t help if it runs down the back and you don’t see it and sit back in it, sigh… lol). Baby toys, like rattles, teethers and the little assorted things are great to have in bulk, you never know what’s gonna keep baby’s attention, and they use them for a while. My son is 7 wks and we had to rig a bunch of linksy rings along w/ all the toys he owns into a sort of toy over the top of our swing to keep him entertained. Grooming stuff is a need, as is wipes. A nice basket can double as a diaper caddy, we have a magazine basket that holds all our diapers and wipes and grooming stuff right in our living room, our toddler hands it all to us. If you have a family dollar around, there’s a ton of stuff by Luvs in their baby section(I don’t recommend those burp cloths though, they’re very small, designed to be thrown over the shoulder, and not absorbant at all lol)
Good luck!

But you can find them cheaper if you don’t mind regular black. (generally under 10)
They are great because if you are just going out for a quick outing or to the park you can just take that and maybe a bottle (or not if you are breast feeding) and leave all the other gear at home. And if you are going out for longer they are small enough it fit in most diaper bags. And then can change your little one anywhere without worrying about how keeping your child germ free or the changing table germ free.
Infant Tylenol and Mylicon drops are great. Even if she already has them, they expire within a year.
Baby hangers the more the better! They’re $1 for 10 at Walmart
