Gift suggestions?

**aggero** · 05-10-2006 13:29

Hi all,

My sister is organising a baby shower for me and has asked me to provide a 'gift suggestion list' so that she can let people know what I need/want if asked.

So far I have

Towels
Antibacterial hand wash gel (the stuff you don't need water with)
Some nursery theme items
Baby thermometer

.....and now I am stuck. Does anyone have any ideas for small relatively inexpensive (say $30 and under) gifts that would be useful? I have plenty of clothes/nappies.

TIA

baby wraps
baby toiletries- eg shampoo, bath wash etc
wipes
more nappies in bigger sizes- you can never have too many!

I know it is a baby shower but what about something nice for you?? I got one pamper pack in all my baby shower presents and I am telling you - it was the best present ever! Needless to say it was all used up before bub arrived - god knows I have no time to use anything like that now!

robe, slippers, headband for the birth
pamper pack for mum
little toys for bubba

the thing I most appreciated? Clothes sized for older babies. When pregnant I brought heaps of tiny newborn clothes myself but MIL brought older clothes. DS now fits in them and its so handy not having to run out and buy clothes all the time IYKWIM

I went through one of the mags in my Bounty Bag and picked out all the products on my wish list. I typed them all out and gave them to the people organising my baby shower. I ended up with quite a few of them!

I found this was a good way to do it, because I got the items I actually wanted (for example, a friend & her partner got us the particular brand of nappy wrapper we were after.)

I could go on and on with a list. They are heaps of really nice things out there. But the best gift I got as a "Snug as A Bug". I had one for each of my children. And it just under $30 mark. Check them out at
