Another vote for that, or whatever fast casual place you know she likes. During the newborn phase, takeout was my savior.

Savings bond or gift card if OK with giving set value.

But, if you already have a gift for one baby shower do you really need to get a second gift for a second baby shower? (Slight side eye to having two showers but know that sometimes goes that way)



I don't need to get two gifts. I don't need to go to both showers. But it's a very close and beloved family member so I want to do it.

One shower (the one where I'm giving books) is just family, and she invited me to the other shower before she knew that one was happening.

I’m going to be honest I wouldn’t want or use any of these and the CSA would be a burden. Don’t give tasks as gifts.


A year's family membership to a museum wouldn't work with a new baby.

I liked the towels with the hoods in the corner - like this (Carters sells 2 for $13):

A picture frame ( nice) baby blanket with baby's name or a teddy. A couple of classic toddler books..what is your budget?


$50 ish budget.

I am going to 2 showers, and bought books for the other one.

A science museum seems like an odd gift for a family with a newborn. It's something they'll get a lot more use out of a few years down the road.
