Shower gift suggestions

[rootbeerfloat]

I haven't bought a baby gift or anything for a baby in awhile. Mom-to-be is not registered. I would like to get a wrap/carrier or something useful in the $50-75 range. Suggestions?

I registered for (and received) a carrier and we ended up using it all of maybe two times (and it was actually DH who wore him), so that item's not at the top of my list of "useful" items. I know lots of people love them though, so I'm sure you'll get some good suggestions.

Do you know if anyone's getting them a travel/stroller system, and what kind? If so, maybe an extra base for the infant carrier carseat? I think it would be in that price range, and would definitely be useful if they have two vehicles.

Another idea: buy a baby bathtub and fill it with a bunch of baby "bath" items like body wash, wash cloths, hooded towel, etc.

I absolutely love my Becco ring sling and it's only $55.

Things we use a lot in that price range:

Baby exersaucer/jumper: Baby Einstein Activity Jumper Special Edition, Neighborhood Friends www.amazon.com/dp/B00JU949AE/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_8dthybED3TS8M

Playmat/activity gym: Skip Hop Treetop Friends Activity Gym www.amazon.com/dp/B0042RU2SW/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_6fthybQEGKG65

Ring sling (Sakura Bloom is my favorite, but more than that price range; I've heard good things about the Maya ones): Maya Wrap Lightly Padded Ring Sling - Graphite - Medium www.amazon.com/dp/B00IDD2YFK/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_Mhthyb8VYF8SN

Diapers are always useful

The K'tan is popular and in that price range, and more beginner-friendly than a wrap IMO.

I bought my Ergo for around $70 on Ruelala.  It was one of the most useful baby items.
Some good quality swaddle blankets (like Swaddle Design) would also be nice.

I love my ergo but it's out of that price range. Personally, I wouldn't do a wrap/carrier because people like them or don't. I'd suggest The kick n play.  It's "useful" in that it buys you 15 minutes to make dinner, do laundry, etc.  I'd do that and a box of size 2 diapers.

In that price range the infenero carrier gets good reviews.

ETA: you could also do a package of necessities people forget to buy. Like Tylenol etc

I feel like the Solly wraps are really trendy right now and they're in that price range. I got one for this new baby, but I haven't used it yet.

I also love my DD's dream blanket from Little Unicorn ... it's been very useful but also still beautiful, so fun to give and receive.

This. It can be fun to do diapers from honest since the patterns are really cute. I suggest size 1.
