What do you wish you'd gotten at your shower?

I didn't get anything off my registry at my shower. Just clothes. Lots and lots of pink clothes in mismatched size/seasons. So we've been buying all the items off our registry as we've come to need them. But it's gotten me thinking....

What did you have to purchase that would've been helpful to have gotten at your shower? Were there any gifts that would've been more useful than what you got?

    I really wish we had gotten the jumperoo we wanted instead of the walker I had no interest in getting because of all the stairs we have.

    bath seat.  The infant tub was just too big/bulky especially when she was really little.

    I wish people would have gone together to buy some of the "bigger" stuff, like those things already mentioned

    Has been my lifesaver.  In the last few weeks DD has begun to play with the toy bar.

    less clothes and more stuff off the registry. Like you we got a lot of clothes that won't work. She got a ton of NB outfits that just weren't practical and she didn't even wear NB sizes for long. And, the sun dresses for when she is 12 months in February are great. Huh?

    We ended up buying a lot of things off the registry that I thought we would get like the diaper genie, changing pad and cover, monitor, etc. But, oh well. I am grateful I had people who were generous enough to throw us a shower or attend.

    Less baby wash cloths would have been nice...I usually end up using our wash cloths just because they are bigger.  Takes a lot less time to clean her off!

    I would have LOVED to have gotten a really cute baby book.  the one I have is so boring and I am thinking about going out and buying a new one for each girl.

    We didn't really get a lot at our shower either, so I totally feel for you.  I think overall, it would have been helpful to receive the medical supplies that we ended up having to run out and get at 10 and 11 pm. IE - gripe water, tummy drops, nasal aspirator.

    I wish I'd registered for more bottles - but I couldn't have known that I would need them until DD came early and I couldn't establish BFing.

    We were really lucky bc my husband and I both come from large families. The only thing we did not get was a stroller but luckily we got gift cards and money to buy it. We only got 2 packs of diapers, we could have used more of those. I never bought a jogging stroller, I still want one. We just got a travel system stroller and figured we only needed that one and a small one for traveling.
