Gold and Frankincense have both been proposed by other answerers on this website. However, having considered the evidence, it is hard to say exaqctly which gifts were given by any of the Wise Men.
The Wise Men are not given a number in the Scriptures. Taken from the passage in which the wise men are referred to: "In the time of King Herod, after Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea, wise men from the East came to Jerusalem, asking, "Where is the child who has been born king of the Jews? For we observed his star at its rising, and have come to pay him homage."" (Matthew 2:1-).
By tradition in Western Christianity, we hold that there were 3 wise men from the east. This tradition dates back to the earliest centuries. Even in Eastern Christianity, it is traditional that three wise men visited the Messiah.
Traditionally the naming of these three kings has been "Caspar/Gaspar, Melchior and Balthasar." Traditions, however, are not widely considered to state which king brought which gift to the Holy Child.
Gold.
See this document (in Latin):
"...primus fuisse dicitur Melchior, senex et canus, barba prolixa et capillis, tunica hyacinthina, sagoque mileno, et calceamentis hyacinthino et albo mixto opere, pro mitrario variae compositionis indutus: aurum obtulit regi Domino." From:

King Melchior brought frankincense to the baby Jesus.
King Melchior brought frankincense to the baby Jesus.
He brought frankincense.

According to Christian tradition, the three Magi were Melchior, who brought gold; Caspar, who brought frankincense; and Balthazar, who brought myrrh, as gifts for the baby Jesus.
Melchior brought gold.
You can a bring a gift that is not gender specific. So baby items in neutral colors is an option or you could bring a gift card that the parents can use to buy what they need for their baby.
Faith.
as a gift for baby jesus
His name is Jerard Woods and the name of the song is "I Bring You Jesus"
The Scripture does not name or number the 'Wise Men or Magi' that visit the child Jesus. Three gifts are mentioned and the tradition of men has assigned 3 'Kings' for each one of these.
It is poor etiquette not to bring a gift to a baby shower. Depending on your finances you could bring something small (baby power; oil; wash clothes; towels, etc.) Any gift should be accepted with thanks.
By one of the wise men.
