Editor’s note: As of 3am last night, we have a new baby nephew!
Newborn clothes are the easiest thing to buy as a baby shower gift – but when mom-to-be has 45 onesies to wash and store, she’ll be so glad your gift was something other than another animal print outfit! This blog post series is to give you ideas for shower gifts other than baby clothes. Every item has four stars or more on Amazon and at least 100 views, so you know you’re ordering quality items that baby can use again and again. Happy shopping!
Most of these we used personally.
