Good baby shower gifts?

My best friend is having a baby in October and I really wanna blow her out of the water. I wanna do a baby tub filled with clothes and bath items. Also a monogrammed baby bag stuffed with stuff. I'm gonna call my limit 150 or less to stuff it. It's a boy! My question is what should I stuff baby bag and other stuff with, good websites to find this stuff at. I've checked her registry's and it's basically clothes and bath stuff that she's asking for. Any ideas to throw out there would be great. Her baby showers in 10 days. Thanks in advance!

    How about making a sailing boat out of your baby bath tub basket? Themed gift baskets always make a great gift! Choose clothing and related items (hooded towel, rubber duckie, wash cloths, pirate (bath) doll, bath squirter, etc.) with a pirate theme or sea animals. Just go to the baby section at amazon and enter 'pirate' or 'sea animals' to see what they have on offer - and this will give you plenty of ideas to include into your gift.

    Go to this website to get more ideas on what to include and to see how to make a personalized sailing boat (bottom of page): http://www.best-baby-gifts.com/baby-tub-gift-baske... This website also gives you tons of more great ideas on how to come up with a unique homemade baby shower gift made with love.

    One more tip: if you feel comfortable add a babysitting voucher! Your friend will love this. Nothing more valuable than some spare time for the new mom!!! You will find all details about this also on the above mentioned website (click the 'free gifts' section at the left website bar).

    Have fun!

    For a unique, but very useful gift for your friend's recovery, try a Belly Bandit wrap. This is a website I found that has a TON of information about them: http://bowlfullofgiggles.com/belly-bandit

    Basically, the belly wrap helps women with getting back into shape faster, provides abdominal support when the muscles are week for the first few weeks, and helps with keeping good posture so it helps mom with back pains.

    Good luck and have fun at the baby shower!
