I was able to use it immediately and it's something I wouldn't have bought for myself. I think jewelry is nice too. Like those rings or necklaces with LO's initials. And of course, gift cards!! Oh and gift certificates for a massage or mani/pedi's are nice too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-nonregistry-baby-gifts-would-you-want-to-receive#post-261189 Thu, 16 Aug 2012 17:51:17 +0000 Rubies 261189@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Books and/or gifts for mom!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-nonregistry-baby-gifts-would-you-want-to-receive#post-261183 Thu, 16 Aug 2012 17:42:54 +0000 matador84 261183@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>gift cards! a new camera to take lots of pictures. prof photo session. so much cute stuff on etsy that is never a need but always a want!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-nonregistry-baby-gifts-would-you-want-to-receive#post-261176 Thu, 16 Aug 2012 17:34:39 +0000 Mrs. Tricycle 261176@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>* Gift cards for take out along with relevant menus<br /> * A gift certificate for Mixbook or some other photo book making site<br /> * A session with a professional photographer<br /> * A session with a personal trainer (I'd love this, but I guess it could be an insult?)<br /> * Iron decals or stickers and a bunch of plain onesies for monthly photos </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-nonregistry-baby-gifts-would-you-want-to-receive#post-261028 Thu, 16 Aug 2012 15:19:21 +0000 heffalump 261028@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>One of my friends made me a scrapbook. She put stickers in it with baby things and my LO's name, so all I had to do was print up some photos of LO and stick them in. It was nice because I didn't have time to make up a pretty album of my own. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-nonregistry-baby-gifts-would-you-want-to-receive#post-261026 Thu, 16 Aug 2012 15:17:34 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 261026@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Gift for mom!<br /> My best friend just met up with me for lunch and gave me a gift 2 weeks ago....she said "I completely ignored you registry"...and instead she got me a $200 giftcard to a spa &amp; salon....Um, I love her! After I have baby I am going to get a pedi and a haircut! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-nonregistry-baby-gifts-would-you-want-to-receive#post-260987 Thu, 16 Aug 2012 14:56:33 +0000 autumnlove 260987@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Books! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-nonregistry-baby-gifts-would-you-want-to-receive#post-260973 Thu, 16 Aug 2012 14:50:57 +0000 purrpletulips 260973@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Something for the mom. I gave my sister a Victoria Secret's gift card for her baby shower because after being in maternity panties for so long I felt she might like something new and "fancy" for herself (maybe not so relevant to people who can wear VS underwear throughout their entire pregnancy). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-nonregistry-baby-gifts-would-you-want-to-receive#post-260968 Thu, 16 Aug 2012 14:47:51 +0000 Mrs. Sunglasses 260968@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Why not get a gift for the mom. Massage? Pedi ? I got one and can't wait to use it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-nonregistry-baby-gifts-would-you-want-to-receive#post-260959 Thu, 16 Aug 2012 14:44:13 +0000 Mrs. Cowgirl 260959@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>books!!! :) and personalized book plates...i actually love personalized things in general. i know that's sometimes it's tricky to my decor-ish items in case it might clash with the nursery, but things like bookplates or vintage alphabet blocks spelling out the baby's name are always fun! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-nonregistry-baby-gifts-would-you-want-to-receive#post-260955 Thu, 16 Aug 2012 14:39:36 +0000 LuLu Mom 260955@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Do you know the baby's name? You could do a custom blanket that has her name embroidered on it. Or anything custom with even her last name, a piggy bank, bag, ect. that is "her" own. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-nonregistry-baby-gifts-would-you-want-to-receive#post-260950 Thu, 16 Aug 2012 14:35:43 +0000 Goldilocks1107 260950@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Books and toys - we didn't register for either because we figured people would buy both. And we only got a few of each. </p> <p>I also liked all the "toiletries" we received - I don't think we'll ever need to buy baby shampoo, lotion or desitin! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-nonregistry-baby-gifts-would-you-want-to-receive#post-260947 Thu, 16 Aug 2012 14:33:38 +0000 sorrycharlie 260947@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>hmm..I love making baskets for people. I got a baby-basket from my mom for my shower, but for my SIL's shower a few years back, I made her a basket and her baby one.</p> <p>In hers - I put a dunkin donuts gift card (now I'd probably do k-cups), some "nice" shampoo (i think it was biolage??), burt's bees chapstick, a little 4-pack of mini wine bottles, etc. </p> <p>In the baby's - little noses, little fevers, etc., a package of soothies, little odds and ends..teethers and carseat toys, rattles, a travel pack of wipes, etc </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-nonregistry-baby-gifts-would-you-want-to-receive#post-260931 Thu, 16 Aug 2012 14:22:30 +0000 Mrs. Bee 260931@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>One of my closest friends is pregnant with a girl. But her sister has 1 year old triplets, and two are girls, so she has all the baby gear she needs. They are both also little fashionistas so they have clothes galore.</p> <p>If you were in her situation, what fun, baby related gifts -- that typically don't go on a registry -- would you want to receive? </p>
