Pre-baby: a gift certificate for 3D ultrasound
Post-baby: it's a tie - my friends at church set up a rotating schedule to visit and brought over dinner (plus sides and dessert!) every other day for the first month so we didn't have to cook and could just enjoy our little one and my mom gave me a gift certificate for a housekeeeper so when I was receiving tons of guests after the baby was born I didn't have to worry about nagging my hubbie into doing the hard-core scrubbing (c-section)
Traditional baby gift: I got a beautiful Hooter Hider, which got a lot of use: I was able to socialize and didn't feel like I had to hide when my baby needed to feed (blankets were too warm for my spring/summer babies and always shifted), it also worked for cleaning up messes when we were out and I needed something, it was a blanket to lay my little one on when we were someplace I didn't feel was clean, and it made a great shade extender on the stroller. http://shop.bebeaulait.com/Hooter-Hiders-New

Baby Shower Moms to Be - Gifts - What would you rather?
J & R Sequ
Would you rather rec'v cash, gift card or baby clothes/diapers etc.
I had a few in the past and was happy with either. I rec'd was too many < 12 mos. clothing I didn't even get a chance to use. Way too many pacifiers and bibs too. It is a 40yr old first time mom, what would you suggest? I am way out in the country so limited to the stores, I have a grocery and a drug store.
Answer
With twins, I was thankful for whatever we received . . . even hand-me-downs! As to what was most useful, gift cards!!! The gift cards were great! The problem with cash is that it is so easy to blow it on something else - like groceries (I know you need them but it is not "really" for the baby as much) . . . the gift cards are great for the things that you did not receive at your shower, what you suddenly realize that you need etc . . .
Best wishes!
