Answer 1

Try here and good luck!

Answer 2

I usually make the Mother a baby blanket. I love to crochet. I have also since I had my baby shower 28 years ago, given the Mother something. Like a bottle of bubble bath, or candles, som ething special for her, since she is doing all the work! I have even gone so far as to give the Father a bottle of Champagne and two Champagne glasses to toast the new child. There are also places that write a book with the child's
name being included in the book.

Answer 3

The stroller sounds good but to fill it with diapers wipes and baby toiletries makes it even better. Moms need plenty of them. Those are the quickest items they run out of. I had a friend order me one year of diaper service. That was all she wrote and a great gift to talk about for years to come.

Answer 4

For my first child my favorite gift was from an Uncle and Aunt. I got a huge packing box filled with diapers, baby wash, bottles, bottle brush you name it. I loved having all of the odds and ends that even I didn't know I would need.

My friend did the same thing for me with my second except that it was in a basket and had a special bath set for me with a note to remind me to take care of my self as well.

If your friends register you could pick some of the lesser expensive items and put them together. The choice is yours. Oh, one other gift I loved was a couple of certificate to the Picture People for those first baby portraits.

Have fun!

Answer 5

either a stroller or if they cant get a crib try to help with one. or even diapers no matter how typical. If i were to have a baby shower i would want everyone to bring diapers, that is one of the most expensive to accumulate for a baby.

Answer 6

I would recommend looking at her baby registry. People really appreciate it when they get something they need and have specifically expressed wanting. If she has registered for a specific stroller, then that would be great. Another item that will get used alot is a contour changing pad. That's something that most people won't buy, since it's not 'cute.'

Answer 7

I don't think I would get that let the parents get it, afterall if something were to go wrong you don't want it to look bad on you. For the not so typical gift how about a Christening gown for when the baby gets baptised. Or a blanket with the baby's name.

Answer 8

That is a good one, just make sure her family is not getting her one. One of my favorite gifts was tons of diapers in various sizes from newborn on up. Diapers are so expensive, I didn't have to buy any for months. That was great. I got all kinds of cool gadgets but found that I uses very few of them. I also got a ton of formula. That was also great.

Answer 9

See what other people are getting her so u won't double up on anything and she may have to return. Have you thought of an exasaucer? They sell them at wal mart, target, baby's r us, etc....My little girl is 6mnths and she bounces in it and plays with all the toys that surround the outside of it, it's great!!! Oh yea and eventhough it's typical, get her some diapers, maybe some in diff sizes..she is going to go through a lot of them!!!!

Answer 10

i have has 2 showers, my favorite gift is when soeone gets a big basket and fills it with all kinds of different things, you can line the bottom with rolled up newspaper and cover it with a receiving blanket, and add lotions, booties, socks, soaps, onsies, whatever u want! I loved those!

or you can fill up a really cute diaper bag and add pink or blue tissue paper

Answer 11

It depends on your relationship to the mother-to-be. I had a shower recently and I really appreciated useful items such as diapers (diaper cakes are very fun and you can personalize them) and baby powder but I also loved those one of a kind gifts such as handmade blankets. Any new mother will appreciate anything that is given in most cases!
