Baby shower gifts I use, or would have liked to have received
Â
My kids don't fight blowing their noses as much when I use these. These are great for on-the-go, or at home, to help protect noses from becoming red, dry, and sore.
Boogie Wipes Natural Saline Nose Wipes for Kids and Babies, Unscented, 90-Count
Â
These fit my babies early on, stayed on easily, and fit well. Ends aren't sharp, in case they miss the top of their ears.
Kushies Baby Toddler Sunglasses
Â
Allows for one-handed grabbing of wipes. Great when you have a wiggly baby, have only one clean hand, or don't want to hear the crinkly sound disposable wipes make.
Oxo Tot Perfect Pull Wipes Dispenser, Gray (63121800)
Â
This allows me to have what I need in the living room, in one container, without needing to go elsewhere. Keeps creams etc. out of sight in the drawer.

Â
Great for on-the-go, and you'll surprise yourself with how many places you end up wanting to have one available.

One of those products you hope you don't often need, but is better to have on hand, as when you do need it, it's usually not at a convenient time.
Tylenol Infant Fever, Teething and Pain Reliever for Baby, Grape Suspension Medicine, 24mL
Â
These have held up for over 5 years. Great as a burp cloth, in case they're sick, to wipe up small messes, and can continue to be used as a large face cloth. Stays soft after many washes.

With a new little one, and visitors coming by, help keep the air as clean as possible for little one, and everyone else in the household.

WYZE Cam v3 Limited Edition: Black, 1-Pack
Â
Being pregnant is hard work, and so is having a baby. This can be a great snack for parents before having baby, to bring while at the hospital, or for a quick snack once home. Consider a nut-free option, if it will be consumed at the hospital.
CLIF BAR - Energy Bars - Chocolate Chip - (68 Gram Protein Bars, 12 Count) Packaging May Vary
Â
I've used this every night for over 5 years, and it's held up remarkably well. Has a variety of sounds (classical music, vacuum, water, etc.), volume control, and a gentle light with 2 settings (or off). Can be recharged and used unplugged, on the go...
VTech BC8211 - Myla The Monkey Sleep Soother
Â
Great when away from home, or to help block some, or all light at home. Easy to use, suctions very well.
Amazon Basics Portable Window Blackout Curtain
Â
Never thought I'd be so excited over something that contains stinky diapers! Contains smells, no costly special refills, you can use any bag you like (though I use the Ubbi bags, as they go on sale, fit perfectly, and are really strong). Looks sleek...
Ubbi Steel Odor Locking Diaper Pail, Gray
Â
I love these bags in conjunction with the Ubbi diaper pail (and not just because they're purple)! They are tough, and won't fall apart when you take them out on trash day.
Ubbi Disposable Diaper Pail Plastic Bags, 75 Count
Â
Why not get toothpaste and have it at the ready, to safely practice brushing little one's teeth when the time comes.

If you have this on hand, it's much easier to write down those quote-worthy adorable, funny, and memorable things kids say.
My Quoteworthy Kid: A Journal Of Memorable Quotes
Â
These series of books make reading even more fun! Whichever one you choose (Countablock and Numberblock are also favourites), it's sure to delight baby all the way through to young child. It's still a favourite 5 years on.
Farmblock (An Abrams Block Book)
Â
This chair folds up small, and is great for camping, or on the go when space is at a premium. Will get lots of use as soon as baby can support their head and sit up.
Summer Infant 13403 Pop N Sit Portable Booster
Â
One of the most used items I ever got for baby. It can be used as they get bigger, as the padding and top backrest can be removed. Use it attached to a chair, or on the ground. Easy to clean, and super convenient that the tray stores within.
Ingenuity Baby Base 2-in-1 Booster Seat, Slate
Â
These books really are indestructible! They can be used early on with a baby, and still enjoyed by toddlers and young children. I always have one in my diaper bag, in the vehicle, can be used in the bath - they can be used everywhere.
Things That Go! (Indestructibles Series)|Paperback

This is wonderful for smoothies, apple sauce, and everything in-between. Helps keep messes at bay, easy to clean. Great no matter what method is used to feed baby solids. 3.5oz size great for babies, or toddlers.

These gates are fantastic. They can be used inside, or outside, and are great as there's nothing to step over, so no tripping hazards for anyone. Get ready for baby proofing, before you need to.
Bily Retractable Baby Gate, Black | Canadian Tire
Â
I had no idea just how useful these would be when I added them to my registry, over 5 years ago. They still fit my 5y/o, but I got her the bigger set, so baby could use the baby version. They've been used at concerts, sporting events, get togethers w...
Baby Earmuffs Protect from Harmful Sounds - BANZ® Carewear USA
Â
You will change approximately 14 million batteries for baby and child products, why not use a quality product to do it? Ok, maybe not quite 14 million, but I use this set at least once a week to repair toys, change batteries, and sometimes even to fr...
