I'm going to a baby shower for an adopted newborn. I know all newborns need the same stuff, I'm not trying to be rude or dense, just looking for a sincere opinion. I was wondering if there was anything extra special a new adoptive mom would appreciate.

Ideas for baby shower gift?

i don't get furniture when i give shower gifts. i can't afford it. this upcoming baby shower is my future niece or nephew. the problem is my brother {the father} wants to know what the baby is, but the mom does not.
the usual shower gift i get is 3 outfits. 1 for newborn, 6 months and a year, and a blanket.
the problem is that with all other baby showers i've been to everybody knew what they were having, and i can get really cute stuff for girls, or boys. but honestly i don't really like the stuff they have for neutral babies.
not that i mean to be critical, but, well, for example if i shop for a girl i can get little cupcakes and kitties in tutus with crowns etc.
or if i shop for a boy theni can get dogs playing baseball, or dinosaurs, or little monsters or a million other stuff.
but the stuff for neutrals i find to be limited. there aren't nearly as many options for them.
what should i do? any ideas?
to the person who suggested making a blanket, that sounds like a great idea but it's already taken. my mom makes blanket and even matching pillow.
Answer
You can get a 5 pack of plain white onesies. They work for both boys or girls and my sister has two or three for her son which she loves. She uses them with plaid shorts that she can't find a top to match and for pictures where the outfit needs to be a solid color.
You can also get a bouncer. Bouncer are a great gift because they are SO helpful! My sister got one that's baby blue and has green and yellow stars on it. It would work great for a boy or girl and it was only $25 at Wal-Mart. You can probably get it even cheaper on Black Friday or right before Christmas. You can also get a Bumbo chair, which won't be used until the baby is about 3 or 4 months old but they are helpful as well. Wal-Mart has them for $35, but with Black Friday and Christmas coming up I'm sure they will go on sale. If you have a Once Upon a Child nearby they also have them there brand new for $23. They come in pink, blue, and green. The green would work for either a boy or girl.
