I need to buy a gift for my cousins' baby shower and I was just told of this an hour ago. It's today but I'm at work and I will only have my lunch break to go buy something. She's having a girl, and already has two other daughters. What do you suggest?
And please don't say money or gift cards....I hate iether one

How about a laundry or storage basket filled with all of the things that "go away" (like stain remover, Dreft, bath products, wipes, diapers, bottle liners, sippie cups, disposable bibs etc.) This was my favorite girft of all of my baby showers.

Well if she already has 2 girls, chances are she wont need any clothes, blankets and crib items...See if she is registered anywhere(you can look up the registry online to save time)pick something off of the registry. Maybe she needs a new double stroller, always need diapers and wipes, a new high chair, updated baby carseat? These are all things that she might need replaced or bought. A baby record book is always a good gift since each child would need their own, or even a scrapbook and scrapbooking supplies to get mom started. You could get the lil one a baby bracelet or a new diaper bag for her belongings...or even a nursing pillow for mom(if she is nursing)!

Is there a dollar store near by? You would be suprised what you can find there and it is of good quality. New parents always need stuff like diaper rash cream, lotion, shampoo, and they can never get to many socks. Stuff like that and it will not cost much at a dollar store. Maybe even you could find a small basket there and put the goodies in it. They could always use the basket to store stuff in. Good Luck!

I agree with the person who said give a basket of assorted things. Diapers, wipes, bottles/liners, baby soap, diaper rash cream, etc would all be welcomed I'm sure. Also you could get an outfit or two (esp if she knows the gender) - but get clothes for older babies. I'm sure she is overrun with newborn clothes, and will need things for when the baby outgrows them!

Hopefully there are baby stores close by listen; Get a nice baby bag open it up and put 1 pack of bottles,wipes,2 bibs, pacifiers,1 rattle and put it all into the baby bag and then get a gift bag to put the baby bag inside.

You should get her a baby safety kit it comes with essentials like nail cutter, hair brush.etc...
But shes gonna need bottles because your gonna end up miss placing them or losing them because i know im still buying bottles for my 5 month old and wipes lots and lots of wipes. And i had 2 Baby showers one from my mother in law and one from my dad!

If you're low on money - how about a photo album or picture frame? Since she's already had two children previously, she more than likely doesn't need more baby stuff.

They sure didn't give you much notice!
A goody basket with diapers, baby bath, lotion, wipes, etc, is always good because these are things that will be used everyday and you can never have too many!

A Piggy bank is pretty easy and maybe a small stuffed animal and both of these you can buy at a loonie store.
Have fun att he baby shower!

Are you opposed to babysitting? Because a certficate that you can make up yourself, for an hour of babysitting may be the best gift she gets all day.
