A personalized gift from the Blanket Lady is my 'go to' baby gift.

Blanket Lady

I usually give This one.

Land of Nod maybe?

This place has cute and unusual baby clothing: https://pickleandpotato.com/collections/potato-clothes

The Navy Knot, which can be found via Amazon.com is my new favourite go-to store for baby gifts. Our niece just received a darling personalized baby blanket from them recently. They carry several boy and girl baby designs. The nice thing is that this will be a keeper gift. Every month the parents can lay the baby down on the blanket and using a decorative teething ring, circle the baby's age, and take a pic for themselves and for family. So, not only is the blanket a keeper, but the year long photos seeing how the baby has grown are also cherished keepers. They're $29.99 & about $5 s/h. 30"x40".

I think Janieandjack.com has some cute things.

Hanna Andersson baby clothes are amazing. Robeez shoes are really nice and cute and no one ever seems to give shoes.

My grandkids wore Robeez shoes, and I loved them. Do they make them for adults? ;)

I'd love to do something personalized, but since I don't have his name I'm kind of stuck.

Tonight I'll be looking at these stores. Surely I'll find something.

Thank you!

Take a look at Etsy.com for some unique gifts.

Serena and Lily has cute, modern baby items.

Freshly picked has baby moccasins that are very popular. I think it's where the Instagram/Pinterest crew shops.

I was going to say Hanna Anderson too. I still have to buy my youngest pants there as he is on the thin side.

I usually get a super soft fleece baby blanket( I still have my boys and I used it a lot). And these baby kits for Meds and first aid for the diaper bag. They are great when you need it. I also get a box of water wipes as they are chemical free and many don't know about them

I found a site on Etsy. Alphadorable. I had a personalized foot stool made in the same motif as the baby's nursery. I sent the artist a copy and matched it perfectly.

She can probably do material patterns too.

becausevthere is a six week lead time, I ordered it but she kept it until the baby was born. Then she mailed it for me.

I would honestly stay away from blankets. I received 13 of them when I had my first. Maybe that's not common but that was my experience! I won't buy them as gifts.

Lots of good ideas above. I'll add I think it's nice to also get a small woven type basket and add in Triple Paste (hands down the best diaper cream ever), Little Remedies Infant Tylenol (or any dye free kind), gas drops, teething gel, that type of thing. Maybe add a book, rattle/small toy/teething toy.

I also have one of these hooks and I use it on the stroller and grocery cart for various things. Holds 65lbs. if I'm remembering right. It's very sturdy. And awesome.

We got a lot of blankets too and used them almost never.

One thing I've given for babies as a keepsake gift is birthday candle holders. I used to be able to find sterling and pewter; fewer choices these days... I think these are darling, I'm sure there are others out there. Not sure your budget, but I would buy 0-9.

A little more affordable:

What I am going to do is buy myself one of those delicate looking charm bracelets from Etsy! I got a bit side tracked looking around.

What's strange is I wasn't even invited to the shower. Not sure if I should be hurt or not. She lives an hour and a half away, and I doubt I would go anyway, but her sister and mom will be there. We have a very small family so I think I should have been invited, just out of common courtesy. Oh well.

I think I'll get her a set of blankets. LOL!!!!
