If your best friend or sister is pregnant and you are charged with preparing the baby shower gift list you might find this post helpful.  First you should talk to the recipient and ask for an inventory of items she already has.  That way you can ensure that nothing is duplicated by subtracting these from the must-haves.  So what are the must-haves?  First of all you need baby clothes on the list.  Not just any, but organic cotton baby clothes.  These are softer, more durable and good for the baby.  It is a good idea to have newborn size clothes in kimono style so that there’s no need to pull over the head as the neck may be very fragile at this period.  Then you need plenty of snap bottom bodysuits for ages 0 to 12 months.  I prefer basic, no fuss, no color bodysuits and spice them up with colored pants and vests if needed.
