When going to a baby shower, unique gift or do you pretty much take what everyone else does?

Myself I order from the boutique I buy for my girl's that way it is unique and my gift won't be copied.

Usually cross stitch.  I made this hooded towel and bib for the last shower that I went to.  Sometimes I make cross stitch birth announcements, but I don't have any pics of the ones that I've made.

Quoting mami2emily:

 what kind of craft do you do?

Quoting lalasmama2007:

I usually buy something off of the registry and then make something handmade to go along with it.

Very cute! How long does it take you to make those?

Thanks!  They are really easy to do.  I learned when I was 7 or 8.  If you are still interested you could probably find a tutorial online on how to do it.

Thanks!  The monkey only took a few hours.  The bib took a few days, but I only get to work an hour or so most nights after my DD is in bed.  Big projects can take several weeks or even months to finish.

I've only been to one baby shower and they had a gift registry so I just got a few things off of there. But that was in hs. I'd probably look for a more unique gift like personalized burp cloths or something like that.

I am actually making something for a shower in a few weeks instead if ordering :)
