so i'm headed to a baby shower for a friend of mine in a few days and i have no idea what to buy her. i'm not even sure if guys are supposed to go to these... but she invited me, so i'm going. she's having a girl and isn't going to name it until she sees it, so anything personalized is out of the question... also keep in mind i don't have a lot of $$$ to be dishing out... so something small and affordable is good.
Why would you give a baby a shower? Isn't it more appropriate to give them a bath?
Diapers and wipes.
She'll be using a LOT of those.
guys do not attend baby showers and if they did they shouldn't talk about it
Get her some bibs or baby clothes. Or a little baby toy/mobile. Or you can get her one of those little baby CD's or books on parenting. Try Burlington Coat Factory (not sure if you have it there..) they have a great Baby Depot department full of cheap, good gifts.
get a boppy, they are very handy and more than one can't hurt.
so being one of the few guys in a room with females is a bad thing? where's your logic.
Not at all.
Is she registered somewhere? I know a lot of women register at Babys-R-Us and Target, so you might want to go online at one of those sites and see if she's registered. That would take a lot of the guessing out for you.
Get her a bunch of onesies.. they're cheap and she'll really need them.
I've been getting invited to these things a lot over the past couple of years, along with other guys.
Usually find out where they are registered. Those baby stores are madhouses.
And I usually buy the dad some good cigars.
tellin ya, you can't go wrong here. my daughter watched the 2005 NBA finals with me on this thing in the recliner:

dude must be gay.....
Wow. And I thought I was gay!
I agree that you should ask her where she's registered. If she's not registered, go to a baby department in Target or something--doesn't have to be expensive--and look around and see what looks good. I recommend if you buy clothes, buy them in 3-6 mos or bigger... babies outgrow the infant size really quickly. If you're on a tight budget, pick her up some baby mittens... those are things she'll need but she doesn't know it yet; and also at Target they sell this awesome little spinning duck thingie that is a small trash bag dispenser,so that if you have to change the baby in a place that shouldn't smell like poop, you can tiet hte diaper up in a little bag and put it in your purse. A picture frame. A warm blanket. A little "first aid" kit with nail clippers, snot sucker, tylenol, saline drops... I'll post more ideas if I think ofmore.
yeah.. re ed me... i actually looked at the invitation and it had a line that said registered at: target and babies r us ...
i've never gone to one... but i met up with the parents last night for dinner and they said afterwards there will be drinks... so nothing wrong with free beer
Excellent, definitely get her something from her registry, then. And get those little mittens too.
Boppies rule
ba-dum-ching
i got her a damn giftcard... screw picking out baby stuff.
lmao ... those damn baby shower games are a .
