Practical and creative gifts-baby shower?

<3

It's for a boy. The couple already has a boy that's about 8 years old, so I think they would still have some stuff from when he was younger. I want to give them something practical and useful, but not the usual gifts like diapers and clothing. Was there anything you got or wished you got at your baby shower? I don't want to spend too much money on it. I'd say $30 tops. Thank you! :)

Answer
While I know you said no diapers, the most creative and practical gift I recieved was a three layer "cake" made from diapers. The diapers were rolled into tubes and held in place by rubber bands. The tubes were placed upright together in the shape of a circle and a pretty ribbon (blue, pink, green, whatever is appropriate) tied around the first layer. The second and third layers are the same but smaller. My friend also used rolled baby wash cloths in the top layer and topped it with a baby toy (a Sophie giraffe that my now four month old daughter loves). It was the cutest thing and everyone at my shower was talking about it. Good luck!

Answer
For Baby Boy Shower I would prefer these -

1. Baby Suit
2. Hanging Toys
3. Baby Walker
4. Baby Chair
5. Baby Bath Tub

You can add on to this list but offer something which would come in for daily use for the baby.
