1. Baby on Board Sign

I almost made this mistake until a friend held an intervention. They seem like a good idea to me, but my friend informed me what a truly BAD idea they were through her hysterical cackling that I really was going to buy one. Interestingly enough, a new study just came out showing how dangerous they can be -- causing as many as 1 in 20 car accidents! So there's plenty of reason to bypass them.

2. A Wipes Warmer

It's a sweet idea, but your baby's bottom is going to be just fine with room-temperature wipes. You will have a lot bigger things to worry about when it comes to changing some of those messy diapers than the temperature of the wipes.

3. Videos That Teach Your Baby to Read and Do Quadratic Equations

I know some people swear by them, but if you do buy them, make sure you don't tell anyone and hide them when your moms' group meets at your house. Seriously.

4. Baby Perfume

Oh yes, it exists. If someone says, "What's that smell?" and you reply, "My baby's perfume," people will laugh not only behind your back, but in your face.

5. Baby Robe

I cringe to think how many of these I gave as gifts before I had children. They're so ridiculously adorable, and, of course, every baby needs a robe, right? Wrong. There's really just no right time for a baby to wear a robe.

Baby showers are fun to go to but finding a gift that everyone else didn't get as well is tough. All babies need pretty much the same thing, so how can your gift stand out? Personalize it!

Personalized baby gifts are the way to go! They make an impression on the parents and are often kept as baby keepsakes. Get everything baby needs, personalize some items like a baby bib or baby blanket, then add it all in to one baby gift basket.

One of the first milestones for baby and family is the baptism. As parents, you'll look at several baptism gowns before finding the perfect one. Keep in mind, this outfit is not only going to be worn once and then forgotten about. Often times baptism gowns are kept and handed down to the next child or in some cases, to the baby's children - a long ways down the road.

If you are looking for a baptism gown for a little girl, this Silk Dupioni Bubble Gown is perfect! It is slightly off white in color with elegant bubble tucking enhanced by natural rayon pearled flowerettes and natural venise lace. It also comes with a hat. You can find this gown at SimplyBabyGifts.com

So you have a baby shower to go to and no idea what to buy for a gift. Sure, you could go with the same ole', same ole', but where's the fun in that?

Everybody at that shower will likely give the usual; diapers, burp rags and all in ones. You want to give something more, something memorable. Something that will make the new mother squeal with delight. It is not difficult, you just have to use your imagination a little bit and be willing to think "outside the box."

Consider a rocking horse. It is an old-fashioned toy, but kids love to ride them. Of course, it will not be something that baby can use right away, but it will not be long before he or she can, and it will make for many hours of enjoyment.

Babies love to be swaddled and held close. Swaddle wraps and shoulder slings are great ideas for keeping baby happy and feeling safe. They come in many colors and designs, so choosing one should not be difficult. Mom will be thankful to have a swaddler or shoulder sling. They will allow her to do other things while baby is sleeping inside.

If you know the sex of the baby, it is much easier to buy something personal. If you know what the parents plan to name the baby, you are batting a thousand. You could personalize the baby gifts by adding the baby's name on it. New mothers love getting things with their baby's name on it.

Ask the new mom beforehand what colors she is decorating the nursery in and find a basket that will match as it makes a great nursery room accessory and she is sure to use it for years in the baby's room if it matches.

Do not forget about the new mother when considering buying shower gifts. There are many books on the market ranging in subject matter from taking care of baby to taking care of mom during the first years of her child's life. These books are very helpful and entertaining and will give her many ideas and advise to help her through the tough times as a new mother.

Siblings of the new baby will be excited as well for the upcoming birth. Being a big sister or brother is a big deal. Give them a gift of matching t-shirts that say "I'm the big sister" or "I'm the big brother" so he or she can be proud of the new addition.

It does not matter how much money you have to spend, it is the thought that counts. When you give a gift that you have put a great deal of thought into, it definitely shows. The new mom will be impressed by your thoughtfulness and be very thankful for your consideration. Do not be afraid to think "outside the box" when deciding on what to gift for a baby shower.
