I have been to a few showers here and there recently. It seems that everyone is pregnant!
I think that the MOST helpful thing to get from someone is diapers. You tend to go through a ton of them and you seem to spend an entire fortune! So when giving a bag of diapers to that expecting MRS. then do it in a fun way.
DIAPER CAKE!
Just click the picture for full instructions! I would suggest different sizes tho. i got too many newborns and not enough size 3's which both my boys were wearing the most of when they were smaller. Also if you are expecting and wanting to do a registry then please ad onto the requesting (somehow) what type and size of diapers you would like. I hate getting what i use and then the other person not liking them from their previous child.
