What are some good baby shower gift ideas?

Q. My sister-in-law is having a baby shower next month and I am not sure what to get them for a gift. They registered for mostly high priced items that are out of my price range. I am looking to spend about 30-40 dollars on their gift. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!

A. The thing I appreciated most for my baby shower wasn't the cute little onesies and thumb-sized socks, although they were adorable. My friend got me a little divided-up basket filled with things like baby nail-clippers, one of those little nose-suckers, a thermometer, etc. There was baby shampoo and lotion in it, and Boudreaux's Butt Paste. Plus some lotion and bath salts for me. She also gave me these hand-written coupons.There was on for a weekend where she would watch the baby, one to take me out for lunch, things like that. The cute clothes and stuff like that are great, but that one I got was very personal and thoughtful. I still use the basket to put diapers and wipes out in the living room so I don't have to go all the way into baby's bedroom when I'm cooking or something.


What are some bridal shower gift ideas for my future sister in law?
Q. My future sister in law's Bridal shower is in a couple of weeks. I'm not sure what to get her. She is in her early 20's, and pretty conservative. Any ideas would be helpful?

A. Get her something off her registry. Those are the items she really, really wants. If you want to add something extra to the gift, then jazz it up. For example, buy all the items on her registry she might need for baking cookies. Then, go to the grocery store and buy the cookie ingredients. Type of the cookie recipe on a nice piece of decorative paper and assembly everything into a cute package or gift basket.


A good gift idea for a very young widow?
Q. I need a good gift idea for a very yong widow. My sister in law lost her husband last week at the young age of 24. She is 18, and he died exactly 8 months into their marriage. I want something that will really touch her heart and to help her during this greiving process. She is also 15 weeks pregnant.

A. If she is willing to part with some of his clothes you can have a quilt made out of them. They can get a bit pricey so if you can have some people help you out with the cost that would be a GREAT gift! http://originalquilts.com/memorial_quilts.htm

Or you can go to www.starregistry.com and name a star after him. They send a certificate, map with the coordinates and a little booklet that tells you how to locate the star. I got one for my sister-in-law, father-in-law and myself after my husband died.

Getting something for a young widow is tricky, especially if the death was shortly after marriage. I was 24 and it was after 6 months of marriage. Little things are nice but things that are more personal and that can be kept for years to come are so much better!
