Answer 1

DIAPERS, DIAPERS, DIAPERS!!!!

Answer 2

A couple of feeding bottles, pacifiers, bibs, burping cloths, baby towels, baby spoons, baby wipes, maybe an extra crib sheet, baby shampoo, baby bath products. There are lots and lots of cute, small baby items you could put in a basket and give to her.

Answer 3

Diapers, NO newborn or size 1.  Get size 3 or 4.  Those r the ones that baby is going to wear the most of.  Also, wipes and baby wash!

Answer 4

You could make a pretty basket out of diapers, wipes, baby wash, just the basics but arrange it in an interesting way.  

Answer 5

A basket of things is a great idea. Get small items that most people don't think of. Such as:

bibs, toys,lotion, bath soap,washcloths,bottle washer,pacifiers,wipes,baby powder,...just stuff like that. Its things she will always need!

Answer 6

diapers, you can never have too many diapers.

Answer 7

I would not get diapers. Some people have a very specific brand they like. I would consider getting things for when the child is older, sippy cups, bowls, spoons. Or get a gift card.

Answer 8

What i always do is buy a cheap clothes basket, and fill it with all the essentials mommy is going to need...like baby lotion, diapers, baby wash, q-tips, cotton balls, was clothes, etc. i always make that my gift...and you know mommy is going to use it! decorate the basket with little pink and purple ribbons. it will look adorable!

Answer 9

It depends on how well you know her and how much you're looking to spend.

I'm not into animals on baby gear either, so I'd steer clear of that and maybe go with keepsakes. Like a hand mold or baby journal. Everyone can appreciate wanting to document all the milestones.

Answer 10

Just give a gift card.  Don't give her a blanket... she'll get more blankets then she'll ever use.  Books are a great idea... but a gift card will let her go out and buy something she really likes.

Answer 11

technology, everybody loves technology. maybe you could try scoring for a nice blanket, that's softer than silk?

Answer 12

A diaper cake, those are the coolest things for a gifts

Answer 13

rattles

bottle brush

a few outfits

and a few other things.. basically went for one of everything at the $$ store baby section

Answer 14

paternity test

Answer 15

For a girl...pink girly hair bows and things like that...

Answer 16

A gift card to BabiesRus... never fails.

Answer 17

I think that if you're tired of the same old Baby Shower gifts you should read some tips about it at:

Answer 18

Hey I would get some necessity items like wipes diapers, BATTERIES, a chemical free laundry soap, something for the mama like a journal Ohhh for the mom this book called Wiped I can't remember the authors name though, but its the same person from Knocked up....that book is so funny, I got one for all my friends that are new moms and have lent my copy out to so many people!

and also you should look at this webpage

Answer 19

the boppy

things that you think she wil have enough of.. but then everyone thinks this way so she has less than she needs... like onzies and diapers and bottle nipples hhahaha

Answer 20

Diapers!  In the next size or two up - you can't go wrong there.  Also, clothes for 6-9 months and up.  People get bombarded with all the newborn needs but then have to start shopping for their child once they hit that 6 month mark.  I know it may seem strange, and very practical but they are items that are needed and will be used.

Answer 21

I like giving consumables:

- diapers

- wipes

- baby detergent

- baby wash

- bibs

- baby nail clippers

- lanolin for the nursing mother

- put it all in a laundry basket and you've got a great gift!

Answer 22

Buy gifts of the registry for the basket.

Maybe even buy a gift card for a pizza place.

That way when baby is here & mom is starving she has a quick fix.

Answer 23

Toiletry stuff, like baby oil, baby shampoo, baby brush, soothers, baby powder. Lots of receiving blankets, a mother can never have too many.

Answer 24

Does she have a registry?  If so, go on there and pick out what she really needs.   I would get diapers, and maybe some bath items like washcloths and baby lotion, shampoo etc.  Get some teethers, and bibs.  burp cloths, babies go through tons of bibs, I am constanly washing mine everyday!

Answer 25

Get her a "Hoodie Hider". These are cool. I found great designs at this site. Plus they have cute hats for babby too. www.babylids.com

Answer 26

IF u wanted to do like a clothesbasket full of "goodies" u could always put in a firstaid kit that has all baby medicine necessities like babytylenol and such. You could put in a pack of size 1 diapers (they grow out of newborn so quickly) you could put in baby bath and lotion. ALSO a biggie is diaper rash cream. I absolutely LOVE balmex CREAMY. Its like vaseline and doesnt stick to baby's bottom like the desitin does. You could get receiving blankets, baby towels, baby washcloths, GIFT CARDS (a great idea in case the mommy to be doesnt get everything she needs, she can easily pick it up herself) you could get her bottles, wipes, bottle cleaner, bottle drying rack, pacifiers, baby socks and mittens.... there is a whole lot of things to consider... Any store u visit will have such a huge baby selection. Just go into the baby section and pick out anything that will look good...good luck

Answer 27

How about a hand and footprint kit?  That way the parents can treasure that forever!  Or a nice photo frame.

Answer 28

raddles would b qood diappers wipes socks brushes and stuff to bathe the baby qirl

Answer 29

a huge log of poo, jk, get her a tee shirt that says "im with stupid" that has an arrow pointing at the baby

Answer 30

diapers....for sure
