Gender Reveal Party gift?

I have a gender reveal party I am going to on Saturday and still need to get a gift. What does one bring to a 2nd child's shower when they don't know the sex? Diapers? Any other suggestions?

    GCs!!!  Target or BRU!  (I know that doesn't sound very personal, but they are so appreciated!)  Diapers are always good too.  :)

    Is it implyed that a gift is customary?  I didn't think that was the case for these things, and assumed it was mostly for family/close friends & an excuse for food, drink, company, etc.

    I've never been, so I'm no expert, but I wouldn't have thought to bring anything other than a congratulatory card.

    I am sure I could come giftless but I dont want to.

    I understand.  GC's like Kelli suggeted.  Or toiletry stuff, washes, powders, butt paste, washcloths, towel, comb, brush.  Not sure how big you want to go, but I'm sure just a little something would be appreciated.  Maybe a gender neutral sleep sack or swaddler?

    I would just be safe and take a bottle of the wine for the host, and not bother getting anything for baby at this date.

    I vote diapers.  People gave us so many diapers and diaper gift cards (you can get them from pampers.com) that we didn't have to buy diapers for M until he was in size 2.  It was great!

    Is it a reveal or a shower? That's confusing... because 2nd showers only imply gifts, imo, where there is a huge age difference or a sex difference between the kids.

    Of course, if it's a close friend, it's hard to not want to throw lots of gifts on them, no matter what the sex of the baby :D In that case, I think GCs are best. You never know if kiddo is going to be sensitive to a certain brand of dipe (or if they're going ot CD).

    Hum for a sprinkle I would bring a gift because I am like that, but honestly if I were invited to a reveal party I don't think I would bring a gift. Unless this is doubling as her sprinkle. I would likely bring something food related to share but that is about it.

    It isn't a shower or sprinkle but since she isn't having one of those (kids close in age) I want to do a gift. At this point I think I will go with Target GC with a note in the card about using it for diapers. Thank you everyone for your opinions.
