My good friend just had a baby and I want to get them a gift. However, they've already had the baby shower so I'm sure they have all that they need. What is something unique I could get them that they may not have? Should I just get them a card?

Get them a keepsake from Tiffany. They have cups and spoons, baby rattles, etc. It's not something they "need" but something they will keep and cherish forever.
here's the link to baby gifts:

When my mom and step-dad had my little sister i was 18. I got her a diaper service, and she loved it. What that is, is a service that brings you a scented "diaper pail" to put soiled cloth diapers in, and they give you a full supply of clean cloth diapers and once every 2 days to 5 days (depending what the new mom prefers) and they take the soiled ones, and supply more new ones. She thought it was great, because it saved her a fortune on disposable diapers, and with the scented pail, you didn't have the smell that comes with disposing soiled diapers in the trash can. I got her this service for 6 months. You can choose 6 months or 1 year, and it is pretty reasonable. Another idea would be the things people dont think of that a baby really needs such as, a digital baby thermometer, or a vicks vaporizer. Hope i helped a little bit.

Hi, how about a personalized baby memory book? Go to this website http://www.tlc-expressions.com There is a book called "My Baby Book" that can be personalized with the baby's information. They have lots of other titles, too - like Sesame Street, Three Little Pigs, Mother Goose, Teddy Bear Land, Ballerina Princess, Little Mermaid, Sports titles and so many more. Check it out - they're very reasonably priced, and make a wonderful, unique & special gift... Good Luck!

I agree with something like a gift card, to Babies or Toys R Us. They could get practical things they may need, or something they would like for the baby later that they may not have now. I like the personalized item idea, there are so many options there. Also books are a good idea, especially some you may have fond memories of as a child. Although the baby won't use them now, it's nice to have them for when they are ready.

A gift card is great. Or you could buy them clothes for ages 6-9 or 9-12 months. Everyone got me 0-3 and 3-6 months, I have a bunch of clothes but none for when she gets older.

A diaper cake! Every new baby needs diapers, and the new mom will love it. They are so cute. Here's a link to a castle diaper cake that is super unique.

Diaper cakes make great gifts for new parents because they are starting to realize how fast a newborn really goes through diapers and supplies. Plus, they are so adorable, mom-to-be will be talking about your gift to her friends for a long time. Check it out!

My favorite baby gift is a card and a set of cute bibs. Then I write on the card, "Life is messy. Wear a bib!"
Some of my favorite bibs:

I also like this bib/washcloth set. It is themed to Dr. Seuss's Cat in the Hat, and you can add a copy of the book to make it a theme gift. (The set is on sale for only $6 right now.)

Don't worry about not having attended the shower. New parents are stressed and will always appreciate the gesture of gift-giving--not to mention, kids go through so many bibs and outfits in a day, they can't ever really have enough!

If you're crafty (or know someone who is) you can make something for them - a blanket, little outfit, or something. Or order something that's been personalized with the baby's name and birth info (you can get ornaments, blankets, and framed art with this information - check eBay or catalogs for more information on those).
If you're comfortable with babies, maybe offer to babysit for a few hours so Mom (and Dad) can go out for an adult meal and maybe even catch a movie, once everyone is up to it.
