We didn't get too much personalized stuff, but I love them! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fave-non-registry-gift#post-1208757 Mon, 11 Nov 2013 13:51:52 +0000 lawbee11 1208757@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Trumpettes! My mom got me 2 different styles and M wears them all the time. And we always get compliments on how cute they are. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fave-non-registry-gift#post-1208746 Mon, 11 Nov 2013 13:42:10 +0000 NavyRN2012 1208746@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The Ninja system. MIL knew I wanted to make purees and got that as my shower gift. We use that thing so much, for purees and other non baby things! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fave-non-registry-gift#post-1208703 Mon, 11 Nov 2013 13:20:13 +0000 Smurfette 1208703@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I guess a hand made quilt. All the stuff we got that didn't register for was returned or donated since it was decor or clothes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fave-non-registry-gift#post-1208696 Mon, 11 Nov 2013 13:17:04 +0000 Beebug 1208696@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@junebugmama: Ohhh, that would be a good one! Very smart!</p> <p>@cascademom: Also a good call! We don't have Walgreens here, but equivalent :)</p> <p>@bushelandapeck: I think the handmade blankets were also my favourite. We got a knit one, crochet one, and a quilt! I want to hang the quilt on the wall and not use it, too nice! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fave-non-registry-gift#post-1208685 Mon, 11 Nov 2013 13:12:11 +0000 bushelandapeck 1208685@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Gift cards to Target and Amazon were amazing. We were also gifted a handmade blanket that LO now uses everyday. It is so soft and he just loves it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fave-non-registry-gift#post-1208676 Mon, 11 Nov 2013 13:07:02 +0000 cascademom 1208676@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Walgreens gift card. Those first few weeks of newborn-hood seems to require a lot of trips there. I recently gifted it to some new parents. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fave-non-registry-gift#post-1208626 Mon, 11 Nov 2013 12:44:40 +0000 junebugmama 1208626@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Gift cards to a cleaning service. Genius idea! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fave-non-registry-gift#post-1208604 Mon, 11 Nov 2013 12:38:15 +0000 Beebug 1208604@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Any gift is a great gift, for the most part of course!</p> <p>Sometimes we Mom's (or future Mom's!) create registries to help guide what we need, sometimes folks stray from that meaning nothing but well and sometimes it goes bad, but sometimes really, really good!</p> <p>What is the best baby related gift you received that you didn't ask for or hope for?</p> <p>For us, a hooded towel for baby, embroidered with our last name. Something I never would have thought to ask for (I would have just used regular towel and not known any different!) We use it near constantly and she loves it! It is a walrus on the hood and DH gave it a name (Willemina the wacky walrus, lol) and they do a puppet show over the side of the tub before she is scooped up and dried off! One of my bff's bought it off Etsy and we love it, it is definitely the most used gift we received outside of the usual gear! </p>
