My brother always likes to get the diaper genie if they're registered for it. He still finds poop to be funny. Usually I'll make a diaper cake or something out of diapers and cover it with things that they've registered for.
-
Diapers. I'll usually buy $50 or so of diapers in different sizes - NB-2.
-
Not really, I Like to get something off the registry then something cute not on the registry. Usually with gift receipts.
-
I try to stick to the registry. If they don't have much left and haven't registered for it though, I like to give A+A blankets.
-
@mediagirl: Do you ask if they're going cloth first? I'm always scared when I give diapers that they are going to cloth.
-
I figure if they don't have cloth on their registry, they're doing regular. Honestly, no one I know IRL uses cloth!!!
-
@mediagirl: Lol, I've never met anyone else who does cloth either! I use it though and got some disposable diapers as gifts, so I don't want to do that to someone else.
-
For new parents, Happiest baby on the block DVD and something off their registry. For 2nd + time parents, something off the registry and/or PBK hooded towel (personalized if they know gender/name).
-
@NYCaliMama: I have that DVD, you reminded me that I get to regift it now!
-
I love giving gift cards
and onesies
-
i just get stuff from the registry.
-
Before having a LO, I would strictly buy off the registry. Now, I might buy something small off the registry and include some "off registry" items that I liked using...
-
I used to buy the mom a gift certificate for a prenatal massage or diapers. Now I'm making the new parents a gift basket of stuff that they might need in the middle of the night, such as gas drops, gripe water, saline spray, baby tylenol, diaper cream and aquaphor.
-
Sophie! Then usually something off the registry that's "practical/boring" that the parents really need.
-
If they have a registry, I go with something from that. If not I either give some A&A swaddle blankets, and/or a nice bamboo sleeper/gown.
-
@NYCaliMama: I totally forgot about Happiest Baby, but it was a lifesaver for us! Definitely adding it to my "to give" list.
Aside from that, I like giving Sophie too :), or a stroller blanket, or CA Baby soap (depending on how well I know the preferences of the parents).
-
I try to get something "boring" off the registry since I know a lot of people want to buy the fun/cute stuff. I will mix that with a cute outfit for when the baby is a bit older. I always figure people get tons of little, tiny baby clothes but not a lot for older babies.
-
I usually get something off the registry plus something cute or Sophie if they're not registered for it.
-
We don't do registries for baby showers here. Most are also team green. I tend to do a cute outfit and a toy, both for 3-6 month. Since having LO my go-to is a Love Me sleep swaddle. They are unreal!
-
Usually I'll do A&A blankets or cute little onesies. And maybe gift cards once in a while.
-
I do Aden and Anais blankets, trumpette socks, and magic mug snack traps
-
I always include a toy. I usually get an outfit, toy, booties/socks unless their is a registry item that I want to purchase.
-
If it's a close friend I'll usually buy something off the registry that would be one of the "bigger" gifts if there's anything like that not fulfilled. I've bought bouncers, pack n plays, etc. Sometimes I'll go in with another family member or close friends on one of the big ticket items on the registry as well. If I'm not as close of a friend I'll just go with something in the middle range off of the registry and a cute outfit.
-
We purchase tons of diapers or a little play set that you set on the ground and have the baby lie on and play with toys above.
-
I guess I'm not creative, but I go to a lot of these at work and I always get a gift card. I hate registries and I think that gift cards are more practical... but if it's someone I'm really close to I will go with a bigger, more personal item.
and onesies
