I am choosing to be surprised with the gender of my child. We will be leaving the room unpainted and unfurnished until after the baby is born. While we ready the nursery, the baby will sleep in a bassinet in our room. For the baby shower, what do I ask for as gifts?
Generally, you get ONE baby shower - no matter how many children or the genders. The "big" stuff (furniture, strollers, car seat, etc) should be gender-neutral. That way you can use it no matter what the child’s gender and you can also use it for future children. You can register for this stuff.
Will you be breastfeeding or bottle feeding? You can register for supplies for either.
Swings, high chairs, jumpers, etc are generally gender-neutral items.
Do you have an idea for what you’d like to do with the child’s room? Will you be going "all-out" pink or blue? You could pick some neutral (beige, tan, yellow, green, whatever) sheet sets and such.
I’ve been to quite a few showers for a yet-unidentified child. It’s basically the same as a boy/girl shower…with a lot less clothes.

Since you are not buying anything, you should open a registry with everything, I opened mine at baby r us and put every little thing in there what i need.

Baby tubs (tubs to wash the baby in), diapers, bottles, lots of chest towels for the baby to burp/vomit onto, baby bowls, baby kitchen seat, baby silverware, lots of bibs, lots of plain white clothes (ones that you can button that come from their butt through their legs and button around their stomach area) It’s like an undershirt for babies. Socks that are unisex, stroller, picture frame of 12 months so you can have different pictures of your baby in his/her first year. Unisex toys. and a lot more… All easily found by registering at Target, Baby’s R Us, Walmart, Dept. stores.
