 Wood Block SetAlphabet block sets are a timeless baby gift, but isn't due time for a makeover?  Thanks to one of my favorite design companies, NotNeutral, their Wood Block Set is the perfect solution to baby boredom.

Replacing traditional primary colors, this versatile set combines vintage and contemporary fonts in soft, muted colors. Arranged in certain patterns, the blocks form letters, numbers, puzzles, and even illustrate simple equations using dual-toned graphic numbers, making them a unique and thoughtful baby shower gift.

Coco Bloom Baby LoungerIf you're looking for a gift to spoil a new baby, how about a sleek baby lounger? This European import is a nice spot for newborns to rock the day away (and safely thanks to the five-point harness). And the little one's parents will thank you for selecting a piece of gear that'll actually blend with their home's decor instead of giving a giant jumble of colorful plastic to clutter up the living room.

It's even approved by A-list celeb, Halle Berry. People Style Watch reports that she has one in her baby girl's nursery.

Signs of Spring

Oopsy Daisy Spring BlossomsMy favorite thing about this time of year is noticing the very first signs of spring: the hint of buds on trees and tips of stems poking through the ground, birds returning north, and pretty, open-toed pumps replacing rows of boots in shoe store windows. It really is a beautiful and exciting time of year, and I love how this Oopsy Daisy Spring Blossoms print captures it with bursts of pink, yellow, and blue.

A charming addition to a child's bedroom, the print makes a lovely and unique baby shower gift. So, save the open-toed pumps for when baby's a little older!

Pregnancy Gift Set BundleGiving up sushi for 9 months sounds like enough of a sacrifice to me, but I hear from my mommy-friends that the discomforts of pregnancy don't end there (despite the excitement, joy, and anticipation, of course!).

This Pregnancy Gift Set Bundle helps alleviate some of those woes and celebrate the exciting time with a baby knit kit, organic pre and post natal rich body cream, foot and leg reviver tonic, and a prego planner. It may not include a spicy tuna roll, but that's what post-labor take-out is for! This is a perfect congratulatory gift to that person in your life who's expecting.

Wall Candy Arts Candy FactoryYou love your budding artist, but you don't love it when she takes her Crayolas to her bedroom walls. Instead, decorate with this adorable Wall Candy wallpaper. The peel-and-stick decor is colorful enough to please your little Picasso but pretty enough for you. And because it's so easy to rearrange and remove, it's perfect for baby's growing tastes (and simpler to get off than that permanent marker). A perfect baby shower gift so mom and dad can get started on their decorating.

Macho, Macho Dad

Diaper Dude BagAs much as they may love their little ones, most dads wouldn't be caught dead toting around a flowery, Vera Bradley-esque diaper bag. But this Diaper Dude Bag is about as manly as it gets, at least when it comes to baby gear. It looks and acts just like a messenger bag, strapping across the chest with pockets galore. But the best part? It comes in camo, black, brown and gray, so he can choose what suits him best (so unlike those pink or baby blue options you give him).

It's an ideal baby shower gift for daddies-to-be. It might even have them offering to do all the diaper changes. (Yeah, right.)
