Ditto about books. You can never go wrong there. I still am thrilled when DS gets books as gifts.
One of the most useful baby gifts I received was the Ultimate Crib Sheet. It makes changing the sheets on the crib a million times easier. Not the most adorable gift, but super useful!
hands down the video monitor was such a great gift! we're still using it 4 years later and it's portable enough we can take it on vacation. Its the go-to gift for close friends/family members.
I usually buy the diaper bag she registered for, then fill it with a few thing off the registry and things I've found useful (Munchkin snack cups, formula dispenser - if I know she's using that, my fave nail clippers & aspirator, my fave bottle brush, onesies, my fave burp cloths,disposable diaper bags for dirty diapers, disposable changing mats, maybe a cute pair of Robeez shoes and/or knit hat).
Re: Your favorite baby shower gift?
My favorite gift I received was a digital picture frame.
My standard gift I give (must be a favorite, then?) is the infant tub, bath book, baby wash, towel and washcloth set.
I like to give books, I usually pick some of my girls' favorites.

I also liked jewelry with DS's birthstone
Ditto, i usually buy the bath stuff.
My favorite I received was the toy box. My mom had bought the bedding and she had an artist friend of hers paint a toy box to match it.
My favorite to give totally depends on the person. I like to make blankets with cross stitching but some people don't like personal stuff like that.
At the shower: baby monitor
