I try to add a couple of books or a toy too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-go-to-gift-for-a-baby-shower#post-1684178 Fri, 06 Jun 2014 09:03:52 +0000 mrs.shinerbock 1684178@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I try to find something on the registry that I can use to make something cute like I used A&amp;A blankets and pee-pee tepees to make a diaper castle for a fairy tale themed shower or onesies and receiving blankets to make "cupcakes." </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-go-to-gift-for-a-baby-shower#post-1684146 Fri, 06 Jun 2014 08:58:09 +0000 regberadaisy 1684146@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Always off their registry and hopefully it's something I've used and loved. Then 1-2 fun items off registry like books or an outfit. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-go-to-gift-for-a-baby-shower#post-1684141 Fri, 06 Jun 2014 08:56:50 +0000 MaryM 1684141@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I also make blankets or quilts for most babies (unless I'm not particularly close to the mom...there's just too many babies coming this year!)</p> <p>Either a small quilt that doubles as a play mat or a small crocheted blanket that works well for covering a carrier. </p> <p>Handmade blankets are something I still treasure that I got when I was little, so I'm trying to continue that tradition. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-go-to-gift-for-a-baby-shower#post-1684126 Fri, 06 Jun 2014 08:50:44 +0000 yoursilverlining 1684126@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My go-to gift is a Sophie, Avent Soothie pacifiers, baby sunglasses and a couple of books. Sometimes also A&amp;A swaddle blankets. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-go-to-gift-for-a-baby-shower#post-1684070 Fri, 06 Jun 2014 08:35:34 +0000 swurlygurl 1684070@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I go off the registry. I usually try to buy books, or bath stuff, or bedding. I generally stay away from feeding supplies because it's typically all over the place and it stresses me out.</p> <p>One of my cousins got me a big gift of toddler feeding supplies (plates, bowls, cups, spoons, forks, snack dispensers, storage, etc) and I am REALLY appreciating it now, because I never thought to register for it and I didn't have to rush out to buy anything when it all of a sudden crept up on me! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-go-to-gift-for-a-baby-shower#post-1684032 Fri, 06 Jun 2014 08:27:41 +0000 Happygal 1684032@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Whatever is on the registry--I don't really have a go-to gift! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-go-to-gift-for-a-baby-shower#post-1684019 Fri, 06 Jun 2014 08:25:03 +0000 looch 1684019@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Is it bad that I don't put too much thought into the gifts beyond what is on the registry? I will just get whatever equals up to the amount I want to spend, regardless if it goes together or not. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-go-to-gift-for-a-baby-shower#post-1683979 Fri, 06 Jun 2014 08:16:24 +0000 littlek 1683979@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@avivoca: aww that's so thoughtful. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-go-to-gift-for-a-baby-shower#post-1683975 Fri, 06 Jun 2014 08:16:03 +0000 littlek 1683975@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@septca: you make quilts!!!!

Then something off their registry that I think they'll enjoy and is useful. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-go-to-gift-for-a-baby-shower#post-1683968 Fri, 06 Jun 2014 08:14:10 +0000 septca 1683968@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Before I had a baby, I made quilts for close friends (I would love to continue to do that, but I don't have time!) or bought cute clothes.</p> <p>Now that I am a mom, I tend to give a bag of stuff I couldn't have lived without. I base it around something off the registry, then add stuff I wouldn't have thought I needed, like<br /> Oxyclean Free<br /> a small bottle of Dawn blue<br /> these particular burp cloths that are ludicrously expensive but *amazing*<br /> A+A muslin swaddle blankets<br /> etc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-go-to-gift-for-a-baby-shower#post-1683963 Fri, 06 Jun 2014 08:12:04 +0000 MsLipGloss 1683963@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I always buy off the registry! If there's something I found particularly helpful that isn't on the registry, I will include that, too (an example would be a NoseFrida!). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-go-to-gift-for-a-baby-shower#post-1683960 Fri, 06 Jun 2014 08:11:37 +0000 autumnlove 1683960@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Registry gear! I don't like buying regular clothes but I did buy my friend's LO a cheerleading outfit from our college. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-go-to-gift-for-a-baby-shower#post-1683958 Fri, 06 Jun 2014 08:11:28 +0000 Bao 1683958@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Diapers! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-go-to-gift-for-a-baby-shower#post-1683953 Fri, 06 Jun 2014 08:09:53 +0000 avivoca 1683953@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I make quilts for friends, and also bibs.

I always buy off the registry, but I try to buy something practical and based on a theme, such as bath time, and I will give a bunch of items relating to bath time (infant tub, washcloths, bath toys, etc). Lately, I've been giving diapers as well. What do you tend to like to purchase? </p>
