My absolute best friend is having a baby shower in a week. She's pregnant with twin girls. I love her with all my heart, but I haven't had a job in a very long time and therefore can't buy her anything for the baby shower. So I was thinking about getting her a card and writing her a letter and maybe even baking some cup cakes or something to take to the baby shower. Is this a good idea? Is there something more or better that I can do or get for her for very little money?

Offer to cook a meal, run an errand, etc. These things mean more than money can buy. I personally have 6 year old twins and speak from experience.

Is the father around? If not you could be there to help her after the shower as far as cleaning up and putting everything way. If she is like me she will want to put everything way and get everything organized especially if she is close to her due date. During the showe you could help her by making sure she is comfortable, setting by her when she opens her gifts to write down for her who got her what. This will help when she goes to write thank you notes, she will know who got her what. You don't have to get anything really expensive either. I have had three and a lot of people brought a package of diapers and wipes along with their gift for me and that was great. If you could afford to just buy her a package of diapers and wipes or just one i'm sure she will appreciate it, and if it's her first baby she may not realize how much she appreciates it until she needs them.

The day after she comes home from the hospital, come over with a casserole or her favorite dinner.
Start to clean her house! Tell her to sit down and relax, Get the Windex and do some dusting, even sweep and vacuum.
If you are really close do it the next week too. Believe me she will remember that you did this for her more than she will remember who gave her what at her shower.

Could you afford to make her some frozen meals? Those are great to have when you have a new baby (and even more important for twins).

If you can cook well. Make her some food that she can freeze so she can serve it to her family when she has the baby and she won't have to cook
