We are having a baby shower and I was looking for something special or unusual (not a hamper or car seat). Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Two GOOD baby shower GIFT IDEAS: You can get her a wicker basket at Wal-mart for $3 and fill it with baby Johnson & Johnson products, wipies & a package of Newborn Pampers or anything you can think of to fill it. Most of these products go on sale from t

One of my favorite baby gifts was something very different - and I love it!!! It's called the Stay dry Bath-Apron & Towel. They didn't make these when I had my first baby, so I can really appreciate it! I saw it in Parents magazine, and my friend got it for me. It's like a long full bath towel that's shaped to fit around my neck like a bib w/velcro, and with ties at the back- so it stays put if I'm leaning over. My baby is able to cuddle up against my chest while I bring the bottom of the towel over her. Where normally I'd be soaked, my clothes stay dry when I lift her to me from the bath! It'll also keep me dry when she starts kicking and splashing - which my first one did like crazy!! Last week I was a wreck, because it was in the wash, so I had to give her a bath without it. When I went to lift her out it felt like she was going to squirm right out of my hands cause she was so slippery - then I had to rush to get a towel over her! That'll never happen again!

The best baby gifts we receieved were unique but very functional. 1) Phil & Ted's Me Too Seat. This is a seat that claps on to almost any table. It is secure, light, and easy to tote along for trips out. We use it at home every day. 2) Baby Legs. These are adorable leggings that fit perfectly on both boys and girls. They keep little legs warm but still allow easy access to change diapers. Plus a pair will grow with your baby until they are well into the toddler years.
