Do you have a gift you tend to gear towards off a baby registry?
I was hoping there was something I've used and love. But so far Nope. Not sure what to buy now. Blegh.

I almost always get whatever nursing pillow they registered for and add some lanolin (I vastly preferred the Medela brand to lasinoh) and a nursing tank with some nursing pads.
And bc they're so great I love to give the swaddle me swaddle blankets. Those were our go to swaddle blankets for my LO

If someone has (insert certain brand name) baby bath/lotion products, we/I go with those for name purposes...

Before Baby, I tend to always give the Boppy! Now, I feel like I give A&A swaddles and Sophie. I'd also be apt to give a sound machine if they registered for one!

I like to do one thing practical and one thing more fun. I try to stick to the actual registry, but occasionally the "fun" thing might be something I just pick out myself (like a book or a toy).

I like to give a book and usually A&A blankets or a Sophie.
For my cousin's shower I made a little basket with white onesies and monthly onesie stickers. I got a fabric background for the pictures too. I was going to get matching socks (she had a boy, but for a girl I would do matching headbands/bows) but I couldn't find the right colors at a store and ran out of time to ship. I also have her a board book. She loved it! But I would only do that for someone I was really close to so I knew they would like it/appreciate it!

If there is a registry and they've registered for onesies, I get a bunch of those in different sizes. If there isn't, I like to give books and a gift card.

If there is a storage/organizer bin, I'll get that and fill it with the "boring" gifts like butt paste, hand sanitizer, etc. otherwise, I'll get the bathtub and fill with tub toys, wash cloths.

I usually just pick something off the registry, but if there's not something on there that appeals to me then I buy something for the mom to be.

Rock n Play. Saved my sanity and I hope it saves theirs
But if they don't want it/didn't register for it...I'll just go off their registry

If my daughter comes - she insists on buying Sophie.
I like to make a nursing support basket - water bottle with a straw, breast pads, Newman's book, nursing pillow if it's on the registry, storage bags ... that kind of thing.
If they don't plan on nursing, I just pick something from the registry.

I like buying AA bibs, blankets, clothes, and stuff that I know will get used!

I haven't been to one since P was born. But, I think I would either give a rock n play or A&A swaddles, since those were the things that I used the most and for the longest amount of time!

I like to buy feeding supplies like a boppy, nursing cover, bottles, etc.

If they have anything special on their registry that we have and love, I'll go for that. If not, I usually get a boppy or bath gear along with a book and a Wubbanub (if they have pacifiers on their registry).
