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! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/go-to-shower-gift#post-1541560 Thu, 03 Apr 2014 07:57:39 +0000 mrsrain 1541560@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>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). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/go-to-shower-gift#post-1541475 Thu, 03 Apr 2014 07:04:47 +0000 Smurfette 1541475@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sophie and a wrap </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/go-to-shower-gift#post-1541474 Thu, 03 Apr 2014 07:02:50 +0000 Mamaof2 1541474@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I always do a basket of teething toys! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/go-to-shower-gift#post-1541340 Thu, 03 Apr 2014 00:12:47 +0000 shopaholic 1541340@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Before Baby, I tend to always give the Boppy!
