I am a huge book fan for babies. I think every child needs their own library. Board books like Good Night Moon, Sandra Boynton's books, touch and feel books are all hits and will be used for the next 3-4 years.
For the layette, I'd look online for amounts based on laundry access, but kimono style undershirts, sleep sacks etc are all non gender.
Diapers are good too - maybe a case of newborn, 2 of size 1, 4 of size 2 or maybe you would rather have cloth. Again check for numbers based on laundry.
Your carseat - is it for infants? If so, you might consider a convertible car seat. Or if you got a convertable car seat, you might want an indfant one as well-easier to carry.
It's been a long time, but something like a boppy for the baby to sit in is nice. It's for other things too but when they want to sit and can't it's a nice option.
If you have crib bedding you will want a couple waterproof pads and extra sheets.
You might also want a high chair.
Maybe a swing.
Infant tub.
I was tight on space so did not use all of the stuff the stores offered. I did not use a traditional high chair at all but a booster style that sat on a regular chair
Bottles and all the stuff that comes with. I would not go crazy, just get a couple different styles and nipples. Some babies are picky and you don;t know until they are here.
