   Yes, something very meaningful to her. Something only you would know to get for her and the baby.

   From my perspective, sadly, the answer is yes. I am not only helping arrange the shower, finding the guests (naturally in secret), consulting with caterers and restos, but I am also flying out to the city in which the shower is occurring! If there’s anyone who should be able to say Enough!, it’s me. But I’ll be bringing a gift. *sigh*

   Look at it this way: there’s not too many chances to celebrate the birth of a new baby, whether it be the first or 3rd. You may be able to slide on giving the newborn birthday gifts until they’re 18 y.o., but I think giving a baby shower present regardless of circumstance is a given.

   Good luck!

   Yes, while the effort and thought that goes into throwing a baby shower will be much appreciated, it is traditional to also buy a gift for the baby as well.

   If the shower preparations have you financially strapped, some inexpensive baby gift items to consider might include:

   - Taking a copy of her ultrasound photo to a craft store and having it professionally matted and framed. Total cost, about $30

   - Whip up a couple batches of nutritious muffins or homemade waffles, or cupcake frittatas, package them well and freeze them for her so she’ll have something quick and easy to eat for the first few weeks home with the little one.

   - Make her a coupon scrapbook. Start visiting websites and download coupons for formula, bottles, diapers, photo sessions, whatever, and arrange them in a scrapbook and tie with a lovely ribbon and a sentimental note.

   Good luck, and congrats to your friend!

   I’d say yes, get her a gift. But don’t feel obligated to get the most expensive item on her registry. You can get a smaller or less expensive gift since you’re putting out so much for the shower. And if it can be something personal that you know nobody else could get or something meaningful to her that you know she really wants, that’s even better.
