My cousins having a shower and although a have three kids I forgot what I liked the most. I was think about one of those Johnson and Johnson baby kits but i'm not sure.The kit i'm talking about is that first aid one that has infants tylenol, infants motrin, diaper rash cream, mylicon, etc. I think that was my favorite bc you never think of that stuff untill its 3 o'clock in the morning and you're baby is screaming bc she has gas.

A small laundry basket or hamper, a pack of baby hangers, the baby laundry spray, and deturgent, and one outfit.No one ever things of these things and everyone needs them.by the way you can put every thing in the basket to wrap, it looks really cute.

Nobody ever thinks of those because they're too busy buying all the soaps and stuff like that. My baby is 3 and a half months old and I haven't had to buy shampoo, soap, or lotion yet.A couple packs of diapers are always appreciated as well.

(they biodegradable in 150 days) and are flushable . check out the web site.... i thought it was a good idea.

But - I never got an actual scrapbook. My daughter is now 18 months old and I still don't have it all together yet. Maybe one of these days!!!

But I wish someone gave me what I make for babyshowers. I make a little starter kit. Since most ppl give clothes daipers and such, I make a little starter kit (and it's great if the baby show is going to be before the baby is born)Heres an idea of what i put into them:- baby shampoo-baby bubble bath-baby bursh-baby nail clippers-baby gums cleaner-baby lotion-soothers-baby soup-baby facecloths-baby hooded towelthings like that.

What I liked the most was a bag I got from a co-worker. It wasn't a diaper bag, just a cloth bag with drawstrings that could be worn like a backpack. I liked this gift the most because I could use it for diapers, wipes, and clothes when I had young ones, but now my youngest is 5 and I still use it a lot. It's great for going to the beach or an amusement park. She got it at Old Navy, but this was 8 years ago, so I can't say if they still sell them.Has she registered at a store? If so, pick something off the list. If not, give her clothing for the baby, but in a size 3-6 mo or 6-9 months. The reason I say this is that 0-3 fits for a VERY short amount of time, and some never wear that size at all. My two were both over 9 lbs each and only fit into 0-3 for a couple of weeks. Plus, there was no need for cute things then...we were just at home getting to know each other! In addition to that, nearly everyone who buys clothes will buy a newborn size, yours will get more use and will be a great thing when the mom wakes up one morning and realizes that all the baby's clothes don't fit anymore!Or just go with diapers (again in a little larger size, like size 2)...they're sure to get used.
