HELP!!!

Okay, seriously, I am needing help right here!
A friend of ours is going to have a baby shower this coming Sunday and I don't know what to give. What I know is that the family is entirely ready for the baby and everything, as in E.V.E.R.Y.T.H.I.N.G. is up-- the nursery and all the baby and mother stuff. The invitation I got was only handed through last night when the pregnant's husband dropped it off here at home. Thing is, this family has been so good to us ever since. They helped us with anything and everything- LITERALLY, and our friendship is beyond compare. This family is truly amazing in their helpfulness towards other people. The husband said we don't have to give anything and he begged us not to buy anything for them. They just want our presence on that day because he want to introduce us to all their other friends whom we don't know yet. Now, being in this place and in this country, it is a shame (YES IT IS I think!) to not bring anything to give when attending parties, BUT this time, I don't really know what I will give because I know they have everything, materially. What I know is that the family loves my cooking, so swithart suggested to just bring some foodies that they will enjoy. Any ideas you might share? I'd appreciate that big time!

And oh, you might want to see what's up in here!!!

  4. Diapers. You can never have enough. They are so expensive and I remember appreciating them so much at my baby shower. Hope this helps.

  5. I agree with MICHELLE, you can never be wrong with it, just bring a box of diaper in a bigger size so baby will be able to use it. You know babies grow so fast.

    I really did appreciate it when I received lot of diapers from my baby shower 11 months ago. Good luck.

  7. I would say diapers too, but if you want to give something that isn't disposable, I would say get a really luxurious blanket or a snuggly. I don't know what they are really called, but they are those blankets with an animal head that kids love to snuggle with. My niece, nephew and goddaughter all love theirs and can't sleep without them. My niece is 6. She still uses hers. If you do get one of those (which you can get at babies r us, jc penneys etc), I would suggest getting 2 because if baby does become attached to it and one is lost, it is good to have a back up!

    Another suggestion would be books. Get several favorites of yours or just some of the top books for kids and put them in a basket as a presentation.

  8. Diapers. Books. Or go look around the Etsy shops and find some one-of-a-kind item -- there's virtually everything available -- that may not cost a ton but makes up for it in sentimentality.

  9. I seem to agree with the diapers suggestion of some.

    yes, they may have said you're not to bring anything but I'm sure they will appreciate the thought.

    it's exactly what we did when we had our second wedding back in PI. we even had an insert in the invite specifying that we only wanted their (guests) presence and just celebrate with us. guess what, they really didn't bring any boxed presents but when we had our dance, the guests started to pin money.

    we wound up donating the money to Hands Of Mercy.
