Baby shower gift ideas?
 
Attending a baby shower for a second child but first boy of a friend who is very crafty and appreciates crafty gifts. Any ideas for some easier gifts due to the fact that her shower is Saturday and I of course have 101 crafts to finish before Christmas! :jawdrop TIA

I had thought about doing something diaper related but since I'm a CD mama I'd feel strange "pushing" sposies on someone :) I was thinking about making her a couple stretchy wraps since she registered for 2 Moby's and some sort of toy...maybe a few woolie balls? Hmm....

A sling would be nice. Should take you less than an hour.

You could make a taggie blanket.

stretchy wraps or a taggie would be lovely...or a good-sized swaddling blanket (the right weight for your climate) and instructions on how to swaddle would be good...

Could someone explain what a taggie is?

it's a blanket with ribbon loops sewn on - because so many kids end up focusing on the tag on regular blankets....

Hmm, I think I might need to go browse the fabric store...

Taggies are easy. LARGE swaddling blankets are a necessity and JoAnn's has super cute boy flannel right now.

What about coupons for the PP period? Dishes, laundry, bring a meal, bring a sanity break, take an older sibling out, etc. Forget any other gift in the world, I have immense love for any person who comes bearing cookies to do my dishes.
