If I'm not so close to them, I'd stick to one more substantial gift off the registry(activity mat, bouncer, etc.) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-go-to-baby-shower-gift#post-2015999 Thu, 08 Jan 2015 20:44:51 +0000 birdofafeather 2015999@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>BFing stuff or sleep stuff. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-go-to-baby-shower-gift#post-2015996 Thu, 08 Jan 2015 20:44:09 +0000 Anya 2015996@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I try to pick the practical stuff that other people might not want to buy off the registry, like bottle nipples and nursing pads, and then a cute/frivolous thing that's fun to pick out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-go-to-baby-shower-gift#post-2015993 Thu, 08 Jan 2015 20:42:35 +0000 MapleMoose 2015993@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I pick something practical from the registry, then a cute outfit too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-go-to-baby-shower-gift#post-2015984 Thu, 08 Jan 2015 20:36:12 +0000 jhd 2015984@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I usually buy feeding or bath stuff. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-go-to-baby-shower-gift#post-2015961 Thu, 08 Jan 2015 20:20:37 +0000 lawbee11 2015961@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Something off the registry plus a winkel and nose frida. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-go-to-baby-shower-gift#post-2015954 Thu, 08 Jan 2015 20:17:56 +0000 travellingbee 2015954@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I tend to buy the bath stuff off the registry so I can make a little basket. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-go-to-baby-shower-gift#post-2015122 Thu, 08 Jan 2015 20:15:00 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 2015122@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I tend to buy feeding supplies off the registry.
