We actually just did a shower after the baby was born. It worked out great because her second was a boy (first was a girl), so we were able to get her some cute blue stuff! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/useful-shower-gifts-that-are-not-diapers#post-267775 Thu, 23 Aug 2012 13:26:47 +0000 Mommy Finger 267775@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>How about books? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/useful-shower-gifts-that-are-not-diapers#post-266632 Wed, 22 Aug 2012 13:03:50 +0000 looch 266632@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A new, bigger diaper bag!

But it feels sort of sneaky. But we will need more feeding items like spoons, storage containers, etc. to accommodate both kids!</p> <p>Gift cards would be AMAZING, so if we have a little girl we can buy girl clothes after. But I feel sort of weird asking for those. Maybe I'll just mention it to a friend and see if word spreads. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/useful-shower-gifts-that-are-not-diapers#post-266504 Wed, 22 Aug 2012 11:34:20 +0000 autumnlove 266504@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Definitely just gift cards! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/useful-shower-gifts-that-are-not-diapers#post-266502 Wed, 22 Aug 2012 11:33:23 +0000 mamimami 266502@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks everyone! These are some GREAT ideas!! I have all the bottles/nipples from last time but I should probably check and see if they're still in good shape before I count my chickens :) Toiletries and bath items are always useful for sure. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/useful-shower-gifts-that-are-not-diapers#post-266499 Wed, 22 Aug 2012 11:31:54 +0000 ScarletJwl 266499@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Gift cards are a great idea. Also maybe you could register for some toys or items you need for your older children? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/useful-shower-gifts-that-are-not-diapers#post-266495 Wed, 22 Aug 2012 11:27:01 +0000 Honeybee 266495@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wipes, baby shampoo, lotion, diaper cream, new cloth items (burp cloths, swaddle blankets, towels, washcloths, crib sheets, etc...). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/useful-shower-gifts-that-are-not-diapers#post-266494 Wed, 22 Aug 2012 11:26:55 +0000 ShootingStar 266494@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>How about things you need duplicates of - another car seat, high chair, baby carrier, more crib sheets? Are there any items you didn't have last time that wish you'd bought, like a swing, bouncer, jumperoo, bumbo? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/useful-shower-gifts-that-are-not-diapers#post-266491 Wed, 22 Aug 2012 11:25:57 +0000 chopsuey 266491@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Gift cards! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/useful-shower-gifts-that-are-not-diapers#post-266490 Wed, 22 Aug 2012 11:25:14 +0000 sorrycharlie 266490@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Cloth dipes for burp cloths? Do you cloth wipe - disposable wipes could be useful. White onesies (s/s, l/s), books (board and paper), lotion/soap/diaper rash cream, sheets and flannel mat pads for under sheet/swing/pack and play etc? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/useful-shower-gifts-that-are-not-diapers#post-266488 Wed, 22 Aug 2012 11:25:05 +0000 hilsy85 266488@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>swaddling blankets?

(First off, this is a great "problem" to have so I am not complaining!)</p> <p>Here in Mexico, baby showers take place for EVERY baby, not just the first one. So I am getting one at work :) BUT, I have another child under 2, so we have 99% of the necessities already. Someone suggested we have a diaper shower, but we use cloth diapers so that's out. What would be something else? I mean, I plan to register for some other things that didn't survive my son's babyhood, like socks and stuff, but I am at a loss!</p> <p>(Also we are Team Green again, which complicates matters further!) </p>
