My favorite gifts for this baby have been the Visa gift cards and giant boxes of diapers and wipes. Add a card saying not to send a thank you note and you are all set! If he feels like you should add something "baby" to the gift to personalize it, toss in an O ball or tell him to get to the store to pick something out. I'm sure he can find something special as well as, if not better than you, since it is his best friend.

psssh...that's absolutely not a cop out. cop out gifts are those useless "pretty" gifts like the giant frames with holes for each month's picture or a wall hanging about God making babies to bring joy to the world, etc etc etc.
LOL MIL gave us one of these. She bought a lot of the big stuff off our registry, too, though.

How the hell is that a cop-out? Diapers are literally the best baby shower gift ever. I would have loved to replace some of the 24395843958340 packages of onesies/bibs/receiving blankets/suffocation hazards stuffed animals with diapers. I think your gift and dish is perfect. Screw the hatersz.
Diapers and a gift card are awesome gifts. She is going to get so much shit she doesn't want or need and will have to buy the stuff she does want or need after.

my DH had a diaper shower at work. it was the best. diapers and a gift card or even just diapers are awesome. diapers are expensive and new babies require a lot of them as well as other odds and ends.

I fuckin' hate it when people get me money. I would much rather have something impractical that will sit in my closet for years until I decide it has been long enough to regift it.
