Baby Shower Gift Idea's?

get a basket and fill it with all sorts of things you never think of (places like the dollar tree are excellent for this stuff)

Like:

a bottle cleaning brush

nail clippers

booger getter's

wash cloths

baby wash

lotion

rash cream

teethers

ETC.....

diapers -start with size 1 (NB may be too small for a chunky baby and only last a couple weeks) gifts card to Walmart or Target (generally a superstore) that have a baby motif printed on it, not a gift card from a specialty store like BabiesRUS - for one, there's only one store in my town (15 miles across town), and prices are expensive, even on sale (30% off of a $10 jumpsuit is still an expensive $7 one, I can easily buy for cheaper elsewhere), and third reason, if the parents have alrady stocked up on baby item and don't need anything , they can use the card for groceries. I am a very careful with my baby items budget as they grow so fast, and I always buy for next year (s) on sale/clearance at the end of the season. So, I REALLY appreciate when I get the receipt along with an item I don't need so I can return it.

But a $15-$20 black diaper bag and have the baby's last name embroidered on it. That is my signature baby shower gift. =)

Bonus: fill the diaper bag with things like desitin, wipes and a few other knick-nack's.

Well, the craiglist in my area... there's this lady selling diaper babies. Instead of diaper cakes, it's a cute little outfit stuffed with diapers. I thought it was pretty unique, although the diapers themselves might be a little pricey.

This is not unique, but I LOVE mine. The Boppy pillow. Someone bought it for my shower and I have used it everyday and still use it and my daughter is 7 months old. We just Love it and really is our favorite item, that we have used the most.

Here are some sites to some very cool unique baby gifts:

it's not unique.... but you can never go wrong with diapers.

or a diaper genie.

or baby hangers.

or baby gel

or booties

Diaper cakes are very unique and fun to make. I've made a few and the mom-to-be really liked them. You can buy them also, but I found it more fun to make it myself! Google "how to make a diaper cake" and they give you step by step videos on how to make one.

Get a basket and fill it with small things. Diapers, bibs, washcloths, bottles.

If she has already had the baby or knows the gender/name---get something personalized.

Like a baby sleeper with his/her name on it
