I would go for some other sort of help then….
Ive had 5 babies and although Ive never had a baby shower, Ive been given a lot of gifts afterwards, some that Ive used, some I havent.

It would depend on how well you know the mum. If she is family or a close friend I would make some cool Certificates.
something along the lines of

*this certificate entitles the bearer to – (make up your own hours etc) – Free house cleaning or – Babysitting (must be used before baby turns 18 years old) lol. or something along those lines.

I for one, wouldve much prefered just to have someone to talk to, as so many people think "I dont want to bother them with their new baby" when infact with my first baby, I was incredibly lonely and had hardly any visitors.

Good on you for thinking outside the square.

I think that blankets or good sturdy cloth diapers can be the best of all, and maybe dreft laundry soap, otr rattle and baby brush set

Lots of diapers and gift cards. It would be nice to have gift cards for the necessities we didn’t get during our shower. As far as something different…. Rechargable batteries and charger. Best gift we got!

Well I wouldn’t worry so much about giving something different–give something practical! Babies cost so much money! Diapers, wipes, diaper rash ointment, baby shampoo, little onesies and one piece outfits (babies have to be changed several times a day!) I’m sure anything you give will be appreciated.

You could put together a gift basket w/diapers, baby shampoo, baby soap, lotion, q-tips, blanket, bibs, burping pads, baby wipes, pacifier, pacifier clip to attach to baby’s clothes, baby socks, etc.

this may sound really bad or not personal enough but…money would probably be best…with clothes, bottles, DIAPERS, and so many other much needed things for a baby that the money could be used for. so it would be a good idea…or you could get a really nice high chair, or even a nice stroller. it all depends.

I have a Bumbo and it is great!! Also a tummy time mat or baby sign language. Everyone gets newborn outfits that fit for a month and a half so maybe try 6-9 month outfits if you know the gender.
