Q. My friend is due very soon for baby #2. She also has a boy who will be 3 years old a few weeks later. When we go visit them, I want to bring 3 small gifts... nothing expensive as we can't afford much right now. But I want to give a birthday/big brother gift to the boy. I want to give a small gift to the newborn baby girl. I also want to give a small gift to the mommy, my friend. Any ideas?
A. I would get mom a gift card to a coffee shop, or to a restaurant. For the new baby a cute outfit in a larger size than 0-3 months. The little boy I would get him a small toy like this: http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2903473
Does anyone have good baby shower ideas?
Q.
A. The best things I had at my shower were:
Diaper/Wipe Raffle- For every package of wipes or diapers someone brings, they get a raffle ticket. Later on, a ticket is drawn and the winner gets a $20 gift or giftcard. ( Since most baby shower gifts are cheap $1-$5 gifts, most of the people really enjoyed it). My son is 10 months and we still haven't had to buy any wipes. The diapers lasted until he was about 5 months.
Decorate a Bib or Onesie Table- Plain bibs and onesies in various sizes are placed on a table with the clothes paint( the kind in a squeeze bottle). Each guest can make a personalized item for the baby. Not only is it useful, but it's fun to see what each person wrote. We only had 0-3 and 3-6 onesies, but the bibs are things we still use. =)

How can I phrase a baby shower invite for mom-2-be that only wants gift cards? (without sounding tacky)?
Q.
A. To reduce the stress of gettign too much of one thing and not enough of another the mom 2 be is asking that if you chose to give a gift that it be a giftcard to (whatever store)thank you very much
And to everyone who thinks it's rude an pointless.. it reduces thefights over who wants to buy you what, you dotn have to worry about not having the one hting you need. YOU WONT Get SIX DIAPER BAGS(not bags of diapers) and most importantly of all if you wont be stuck with no clothes fo rthe baby because the baby is bigger or smaller than the clothes you got. AS appreciative as i was I got 0-3 months clothes that my daughter was too small for...I spent the first week of her life trying to find her clothes.....and my neighbor just had a 10 lb baby.....0-3 months is only 5-11 lbs...what good would that have done them if all their babies clothes were only to 11lbs???it's not abbout how happy you are that people liek what you bought for the baby. it's about the baby having what it needs.Although a registry might be a good idea in theory, soemtimes it's absolutly useless. Also those "cute little outfits" everyone says is the most important part of the shower, are not going to pump milk or monitor the baby while it sleeps or anything like that. Like i said it's about the baby no tthe gift givers and apparently there are alot of people on yahoo answers that like to give gifts for the recognition and other selfish reasons...as opposed to it being needed. While no one is obligated to bring gifts, the people who do shouldnt make it about themselves

Baby Shower Gift help!?
Q. I am attending a shower soon and need ideas for gifts. I have bought one bib that she told me she wanted to have and a gift set that has lotion, shampoo, wipes, and a small pack of diapers. What else should I add? I have known her for a while and would like to get a few more inexpensive items. I thought about getting her a few outfits, maybe one 0-3 month and a 3-6 month outfit.
A. I would say a few receiving blankets or one or 2 sleepers.
