Buy her something unique that can be used that is not often thought about… I went to a baby shower about a month ago and i bought the mumma to be a laundry hamper for the bub and filled it with some laundry detergent and softner with a bundle of cloth nappies… it’s different and it’s handier then most think… you could even add an outfit and sock/singlets or something…

I could have really used a gift certificate for a spa. 🙂 But, the thing I got that was best was a digital camera and SD card so I could take TONS of pictures of that beautiful baby!

I know some people might not agree but I believe a gift card to the place that she registered at would be great. I am a mother of twin girls (14 months) and a 4 year old boy, and I always got duplicate stuff and then I had to return some of it and I felt bad. And when I was on bedrest, I didn’t have time to do the returns and didn’t want anyone else doing it for me. If she hasn’t pin-pointed something that she really wants, I think that is the way to go.

As a new mom and having went through the baby shower process, I would recommend checking her registry first. If she is not registered, something practical would be nice. A diaper changing pad and cover, a diaper bag, or maybe a nursing pillow (like the Boppy) with an extra cover are a few very much appreciated gifts and you can always include a gift receipt just in case.

depends what’s on the registry. You can always go and get your own stuff. What I think is the BEST gift is a baby bathtub full of stuff. Doesn’t necessarily HAVE to be bath stuff. A little bit of everything (washclothes, bibs, bottle brush, cheap photo album, a toy or 2, pacifiers, etc).

I agree with the other person. Gift cards are always great! I have twins and was on bed rest and I would have loved to have gift cards to use to shop online. It is also great to be able to buy all the things that you didn’t get at the shower.
I would buy a gift card and bring some diapers and wipes.

It depends on what she already has.. a few good ideas are:
-A grooming/health kit. I had this one: http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2437591 It is a MUST. Everything in it has been really helpful these past 8 months! Cutting his nails, clearing his nose when he had a cold at night and couldn’t breathe, taking his temp when I thought he felt hot, brushing his hair, etc. I use it all the time!
-Cloth diapers: http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2457809 I never thought a product could have so many uses! They seem random but when you have a newborn you end up using them all the time! A burp cloth, wipe up a spill or spit up on the couch, lay down for a diaper change so you don’t get the nice changing pad cover messy.. and when they get a little older they love to play with them.. suck on them chew them, wave them in the air.
-Bouncing chair: http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2508008 I got a fancy baby bjorn one and realized when he was nearly outgrowing most of them (he was over 17 pounds at 3 months, lol) that he would of much rather one of the less expensive ones like this one! In stores my son also really liked this one: http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2991169
-Extra sheets! http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2611726 That is the one we use and it’s REALLY soft. & it’s neutral so it will match any theme they have probably. Having a few extra has been a life saver!
-Bumbo seat: http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2799899 This really isn’t a must but it’s nice to have! They don’t use it right away, but it gets used a lot starting at 3/4 months. You can sit them in it and they can play or sit opposite you and interact. Once they start solid feeding it’s great to use to feed them (and easy to bring to the in-laws or somewhere rather than a high chair!)… there are also trays available for it. For me… it was something I would not of gotten myself but I was really glad someone got it for me!
-Boppy pillow: http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2863645 These aren’t just for nursing! I exclusively breastfed but didn’t use it for nursing much. My son loved to lounge in it next to me though when he was a newborn. When he started tummy time he would prop up with it and when he first was learning to sit i would put it around him to keep him safe. It has a ton of uses!
-Shopping cart cover: http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=3188792 It won’t be used for a few months.. but it will be used a lot! The first few months go fast and all of a sudden they are sitting up in things in public (shopping carts, highchairs, etc) and trying to chew on the bars or all sorts of yucky, germy things. It’s really nice to have one of these to throw down! It’s something I wish someone would of gotten me!
Well I hope those ideas help!! They are some things that typically get overlooked during showers but are VERY useful!!

i had 2 baby showers and got so many clothes just from the 1st one.
if there something u dont have i suggest u tell ur guest to get u it and mark it off and tell the next person to get u something that u need.
but if i were you i would ask for DIAPERS!!!

Get a diaper cake. I received one at my baby shower. All the guest commented on it and it had about a hundred diapers. Diapers are always needed!

Try your best to get something off of their registry that looks like something they need….or a gift card to where they are registered. I returned most of the clothes people bought for my daughter because I didn’t like them. Don’t waste money on Winnie the pooh picture frames and blankets and piggy banks.

the top 2 things that helped me with a newborn was the book The Happiest Baby On the Block and The Miracle Blanket. if you know the baby’s name, it would be fun to get something personalized. This cool shop has 10% off your first order: http://www.babynest.com/babynest/aflhomepage.aspx

A one-year supply of diapers would make a very useful gift. As a mom, I sure would appreciate that ^^
