Hahaha oh man… I actually make homemade stuff.. but like things I actually like myself and I’ve heard people rave about them.. like bonnets that I knit and actually sell.. or handmade knitted wool blankets that aren’t scratchy.. amd baby pants that are from the best soft material and not baggy like pants that come with store bought sets.. lol but I do agree that you get too many blankets gifted to you.. most are like that polyester stuff that makes babies sweat.. I’m picky about my blankets.. and stuffed toys? Please.. I have way too much and my kids don’t ever play with them! I did have my cousin make me the cutest cross stitch picture for my baby with name and birthday and weight on it and cute precious moments style girl.. I love it!! My cousin felt so insecure about giving it to me thinking I might not even want it! I was like nooo I’m excited for it! She put it in the cute white frame and it’s just adorable! And classy! So my point is.. some homemade stuff is better than store bought.. but you need to know thw mama’s style before gifting homemade things I guess.

In reply to Maria. You're welcome! When in doubt, get something off the registry!

Your post is perfect, exactly what I was looking for. I was amazed to look online for “gifts NOT to get baby” & haves dozens of websites pop up for “bad but funny gifts.” Everything was a joke. Yours was the only 1 with good, real advice. I can’t imagine anyone not liking this post (unless that gave 1 of these gifts already. Lol) I feel much better now about buying a baby gift. Thank you!!!

In reply to Swelk. Thank you for wholeheartedly agreeing and understanding where I'm coming from! I've gotten a lot of hate on this post for people saying I'm ungrateful for gifts! That's not it at all!

Amen! Someone had to say it! We specifically put on our shower invitations to refer to our registry for items we were in NEED of. It was amazing how many people still chose to bring items THEY like or THOUGHT we would need. Needless to say, we had to return/exchange many items. The registry is there for a reason. Stick to it or just bring a congratulations card.

In reply to Michelle. Just make sure when you register for things, you include that in big letters on your baby shower invites!! Good luck!

I’m only 15 weeks and I already have two people making me handmade blankets. One lady I work with and someone I’ve never met who works with my MIL. I’m already dreading how many more I will open at the baby shower. How do I send this article to my people without sending it….asking for a friend! Ha
