I have a baby shower to go to, and I'm always baffled as to what to buy.
Is she registered? Babies-R-Us or Target are pretty common.
Who among us can ignore the allure of really funny math puns?

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
One idea, which is hardly original, is to put together a basket of useful things like baby wipes and non-talc baby powder. Does anyone have any ideas?
I usually try to put things like you mentioned in an inexpensive baby tubs with a couple packages of of onesies, etc. and wrap it up in cellophane like a big gift basket.

Trust my rage
I suggest, if you get clothes, going for something 6 months plus. Everone always gives you the tiny stuff but it's nice to have some bigger stuff. (Oh, and if you checked out Hanna Andersson, they use a different sizing system so that's a bit confusing.)

I think all black is fine for an afternoon wedding as long as you are not going full on hat and veil and sniffing into your handkerchief constantly.

Taking Teppy's suggestion, I discovered she is registered at Target, but didn't put any clothes on the registry. I might of thought of that if the cold had not ated my brane. I now know that there's a penguin theme.

No, that's for when your lover is being hung for a crime he didn't commit.

I just found out about Mini Boden clothes and am in total love. I think any of it would be an excellent gift. [link]

Now tagless for your comfort.
I usually give a pair of Robeeze as a standard baby gift. Not all new moms know about them and they're awesome, even if they take some time to grow into.
Also, Ginger, I've gotten compliments on giving batteries in my gift bags--seriously, all the baby gear and toys seem to need a lot of different sizes and usually they're not to hand when you need them. I also stick in a D, C, 9v, AA and AAAs. One dad declared it the most useful gift they got.
