baby gifts for mom who has everything image
HoneyBee97
I am going to a shower this Sunday and I want to get something a mom really needs.
Answer
It depends on what she already has.. a few good ideas are:
-A grooming/health kit. I had this one: http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2437591 It is a MUST. Everything in it has been really helpful these past 8 months! Cutting his nails, clearing his nose when he had a cold at night and couldn't breathe, taking his temp when I thought he felt hot, brushing his hair, etc. I use it all the time!
-Cloth diapers: http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2457809 I never thought a product could have so many uses! They seem random but when you have a newborn you end up using them all the time! A burp cloth, wipe up a spill or spit up on the couch, lay down for a diaper change so you don't get the nice changing pad cover messy.. and when they get a little older they love to play with them.. suck on them chew them, wave them in the air.
-Bouncing chair: http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2508008 I got a fancy baby bjorn one and realized when he was nearly outgrowing most of them (he was over 17 pounds at 3 months, lol) that he would of much rather one of the less expensive ones like this one! In stores my son also really liked this one: http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2991169
-Extra sheets! http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2611726 That is the one we use and it's REALLY soft. & it's neutral so it will match any theme they have probably. Having a few extra has been a life saver!
-Bumbo seat: http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2799899 This really isn't a must but it's nice to have! They don't use it right away, but it gets used a lot starting at 3/4 months. You can sit them in it and they can play or sit opposite you and interact. Once they start solid feeding it's great to use to feed them (and easy to bring to the in-laws or somewhere rather than a high chair!)... there are also trays available for it. For me... it was something I would not of gotten myself but I was really glad someone got it for me!
-Boppy pillow: http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2863645 These aren't just for nursing! I exclusively breastfed but didn't use it for nursing much. My son loved to lounge in it next to me though when he was a newborn. When he started tummy time he would prop up with it and when he first was learning to sit i would put it around him to keep him safe. It has a ton of uses!
-Shopping cart cover: http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=3188792 It won't be used for a few months.. but it will be used a lot! The first few months go fast and all of a sudden they are sitting up in things in public (shopping carts, highchairs, etc) and trying to chew on the bars or all sorts of yucky, germy things. It's really nice to have one of these to throw down! It's something I wish someone would of gotten me!
Well I hope those ideas help!! They are some things that typically get overlooked during showers but are VERY useful!!

What is something cute & inexpensive I can get a neighbor lady for her baby shower?

She doesn't know if she's having a boy or girl. She called me like 1/2 hr before the shower to ask if I wanted to ride w/ her, but I never got the invitation, so I didn't have a gift & didn't go on such short notice, but would still like to get her something? Like I said inexpensive, but something she will like & use?
Answer
Forget cute, diapers, onesies, baby laundry detergent, I got plenty of cute stuff for my baby shower, but the most useful, was the onesies and diapers and laundry detergent. I didn't have to buy diapers for a month, and I found I was washing clothes faster than he could wear them due to diaper leaks, ans spit up. Also maybe some snacks, for mom and some herbal teas or something relaxing. Baby will most likely have everything. The things I needed and didn't get were very cheap, such as infant nail clippers, bottle washers, nursing pads, diaper ointment. also one of the most helpful gifts was a basket containing a CD of soothing music, baby wash, infant Tylenol, big soft fluffy towel, and wash cloth. Sorry but the towels made for infants suck and are not very absorbent.
