It’s the dilemma faced by godparents and friends alike. What to get overly tricked out, seen-and-bought-it-all parents and their new bundle of joy?

Skip the onesies and head straight for the stars.

Treat them to a chart reading by Elizabeth Hermon, noted astrologer, psychotherapist, and Hollywood A-list darling.

Before the phone reading, parents supply date, time, and place of birth. Hermon prepares a chart that’s used as a reference during the one-hour session in which she discusses your child’s talents (so you’ll know not to push the violin on your budding Olympian), health (just the beginning of a lifetime of self-blame for their problems), and relationships (the teen years are closer than you know). Hermon encourages interactivity — no question is too weird — and will get specific about everything from academics to a future daughter-in-law.

The reading is recorded and then sent to the parents for posterity.

Making for an excellent “told you so” tool in the years ahead.

After the plushies and prams have been relegated to history.
