NWR - baby shower

FH sister is pregnant and is not going to find out the sex of the baby. her shower is end of sept and i want to do something cute for her. She loves vera bradely so im going to buy her a vera bradley diaper bag and fill it with things - any creative idea on what to include in it? even if its a little something just for her!

Cute idea! maybe include some of the essentials like bottles, bibs, burp cloths, binkies and a bottle of wine for her for those days/nights the baby cries!

maybe get her some supplies that she would normally keep in the bag and then a pandora (or something similar) chain with a gift card to go get a bead with the birthstone for the baby when he/she is born

this question is making me realize how uneducated I am in the whole pregnant friend thing haha

I always make a basket for my friends for their baby showers:

a few small packs of size one diapers (pampers & huggies)
two tubs of wipes (pampers & huggies)
qtips
cotton balls
jar of vaseline
washcloths
pack of white onesies
baby laundry detergent (dreft or target knock off)
baby tylenol (target knock off)
diaper cream
Johnson & Johnson baby shampoo - regular
Johnson & johnson baby shampoo - nightime
baby gum cleaner & toothbrush (by orajel)
bounty papertowels
teething pacifier (razzberry)
any kind of teething ring/toy
disposable bibs
disposable changing pads

For the mom I always gets books:

Preggatinis (virgin cocktails)

I just did this for one of my BM, but she was having twins, so I went a bit overboard. I filled it with a bunch of little things like washcloths, socks, mittens, onesies, recieving blankets and burp cloths. And then I also got her stuff to go with her breast pump system. I had a lot of fun filling the bag, and you really can get very creative with this! Have fun!

I have also made a laundry basket with the things in the following poem (when you do it you take out the phrases in parenthesis and add that to the basket:


Here are some ideas for the parents (magazine) to be.
