any ideas on a unique gift for a baby shower? (girl)

We're expecting our first child in a few months, so as you can imagine, we've been getting gifts left and right. I've already had one "official" baby shower with my husband's family, and I got lots of gifts I plan to return and only a few I could use (I hope none of them read this!).
However, I have to say that there were three gifts that really stood out. technically, I guess it was one gift. They came from my hubby's super fun sister, Emily. Since this is our first child (and a boy!), you can imagine how thrilled my husband is. But he was complaining that he felt left out since all the gifts so far have been for the baby (oh, and one for me from my aunt).
anyway, Emily gave us a little gift basket with a t-shirt for each of us. The one for my husband was so funny and says I'm Drinking for Two. He wears it all the time to work out. I think he was thrilled to even get a gift!
Mine has these pregnancy "no nos" (my sis-in-law knows I'm dying for some sushi and a glass of wine!). The t-shirt for our son says Baby McDreamy, bring me a bottle STAT. I'm a big 'Grey's Anatomy' fan.
These gifts had the entire party cracking up and we all wanted to know where she got them. She said she ordered them off Cafepress. I went and checked it out, and they have some really unique, funny and great items for baby, me, my husband. I ended up ordering a few more things, because they were just too funny. Of course, if this ends up being a girl, then we're in trouble, but I don't think that's going to happen.
I have been recommending this Cafepress site to everyone I know because I haven't seen anything like it. And you have so mnay choices. It certainly beats the boring, cutesy stuff. Trust me, the new parents will get PLENTY of that!
Oh, the exact site Emily ordered from was www.cafepress.com/c2gdesigns. I had to ask her to send me the link, because when I tried to search for stuff, I got tons of results. But I know there are lots of other great shops out there, too, on cafepress.

I say give a gift that is suitable for both mother and child and the different stages of life they will go through together. I am into giving books for gifts this day, find a book that talks about 'raising girls' or 'your daughter, your friend' etc.

I make a product called buddy blankets, it is a stuffed animal and a baby blanket all in one. It is something that the children love and carry with as they grow up. Everyone goes crazy because they are so cute and I sell lots of them. I have also received a musical teddy bear piggy bank with my daughters name , weight and the day that she was born, I have given silver cups with baby's name and birth weight and date born on it also. These are special.
