Grateful present or gift?

I am not native English and I am doubting about the right wording for a Birth announcement. Do you say "A grateful present" or "A grateful gift". And is it weird to put this on a birth announcement?

Thanks!
A Dutch person.

It sounds strange to me. Could you give us the full announcement?

No, it's not right. People can be grateful. Presents and gifts cannot be grateful (even if in this case the gift is a person!).
