My cousin's best friend is throwing her an impromptu surprise baby shower on Sat. and I HAVE NO GIFT. I have no clue what to get her. I know nothing about babies, so I don't know what new parents (it's their first) need. And I also don't want to get her something that someone else is likely to get her. Any suggestions??? Basically, I'd like to get her something she can actually use, that isn't so common someone else is likely to get it for her, at a price that won't make my wallet weep. Or if that's asking too much, I'll settle for ideas on something less original, and maybe she can just return it for something else. Help!!

Maybe next time. :D

I had this gadget that I tried to find on line but can't anymore. Hrm. It's a little thing like a tupperware container with 3 compartments where you can measure out a certain amount of powdered formula and carry it along for easy mixing. I used it for a good while after Claire switched to formula. That way I could carry a bottle of water and not worry about spoiling. but I can't find it anywhere online now, wah!

Ohh that sounds so great!! I'll do a little bit of research and see if I can find something similar. Of course, given the timing, it would have to be something I can find at the mall. :p

Yep, I got it at babiesrus or one of those baby stores. A cheap but v. useful gadget. :D

I had two...got one at the dollar store, the other at meijer, I think. The fairly inexpensive ones are made by Parent's Choice.
