Family - Birth - Bris (Circumcision) - Giftgiving

My cousin's daughter recently gave birth to a son. As it is a Jewish family there was a bris (i.e., circumcision with religious ceremony), which I was invited to and attended.

Are gifts normally given after such an event? Would the parents "register" the kid for gifts at a particular store?

You do not need to bring a gift to a bris, but you certainly may if you'd like to.
Baby clothes, toys, and books are all safe bets. You may also want to reach out
to the parents and ask if you can bring them a meal in the coming weeks. With
a newborn in the house, they're likely to really appreciate the offer.

@Region Philbis,

I've been told that the expectation of the younger generation is cash - much like the bar/bat mitzah. If you're bringing a gift, bring it with a gift receipt so it can be returned.
