It is normal to bring gifts for the baby like clothing, toys, mobiles and bedding. Try to find out what the prefered styles and colour options of the parent are first with clothing and bedding, small soft toys, baby towels and blankets are generally safe if you don't know the person too well. If you are a close friend or family then a present that can be kept until the baby is older like a photo frame, silver teething ring, silver necklace.
Its ok to bring gifts for the new mum either as well or instead of gifts for baby, normally these are pampering gifts like flowers, chocolate, nice quality toiletries, favorite alcohol if she is not breast feeding (she hasn't been able to drink in 9 months!) or whatever her favorite treat is. Generally, gifts to make her feel good about herself are a great way of ensuring she doesn't get the "baby blues". Everyone will want to give the new arrival presents but people can forget about the new mum.
If you are looking for the ideal gift.
Try getting some sleepers.
Or a small throw blanket that can be draped over the mothers shoulder so that
when she is burping the baby or rocking the baby to sleep.
or you can get a musical toy for the crib to help the baby sleep.
Or another nice gift is a piggy bank lots of people give those at baby showers.
And the number one gift to give is, Get your self some nice colored paper and
make a booklet of coupons. You can make some that says, this coupon is good
for a one hour break. or this coupon is good for a night of baby sitting.
Something like that cause all mothers with a new born baby needs a break
once and awhile. And it shows that you put some thought into the gift. Rather
then grabbing the first thing you seen for a baby at wal-mart.

If you gave a baby shower gift earlier than the due date of the baby shower then you do not need to give a gift, but if you just gave the gift not knowing about the baby shower you could give the mother to be a small gift for the baby.
Hi there, activities at a baby shower definately depends on personal taste and you can have themed baby shower activities too. You could play games, give gifts, eat
A unique gift for a baby shower is something personalized for the new baby. A monogram of the baby's initials or a wall hanging with the letters of their name is a fun, different choice.
Creative shower gifts for a baby can be found by consulting online forums such as MumsNet, where mothers will be able to give advice on suitable products. Alternatively, visiting a store which sells baby products, such as MotherCare will provide some ideas.
A baby shower gift that will stand out from the rest is books. Most people don't give books as baby shower gifts, and many new moms love books on parenting, teaching baby to read, and infant development the first year.
There are a whole lot of nice baby shower gifts for a new mom depending on what you want to spend. One of my favorites is a diaper cake. You can find instructions on how to make it here: http://www.wikihow.com/Make-a-Diaper-Cake
* The best thing to do is communication with your daughter-in-law's mother to see if she would like to give a baby shower and if not, then let her know you would like to give the baby shower. Generally the friends of the daughter-in-law will give a baby shower, but it's always nice when the mothers get involved. Both mothers could work together for a surprise baby shower.
No, it is not in poor taste to give your daughter a baby shower. You could invite close relatives and a few of her friends to the baby shower.
One or the other are sufficient. The one exception may be if you are particularly close to the mother and child, such as an Aunt or the Godparent.
It is great to give practical gifts such as diapers, safety products, bath supplies, as well as everything they place on their baby registry. Some great health/safety supplies can be found at the baby shower supply store.
