The Ultimate Baby Shower Gift Guide
There are so many books and websites out there telling you which are the safest infant car seats, the activity center least likely to fall apart after three uses, or the brand of diaper wipes containing the least parabens. Instead, we've asked our editors for the coolest stuff out there and ended up with these 100 incredible picks of must-haves and totally-wants. Some are new, some are classics, but we hope all are the things that new moms really, really hope they'll be getting this year.
This is our 2009 Gift Guide. Looking for our 2011 Ultimate Baby Shower Gift Guide? Check out the new guide for more great baby gift ideas, and new discount codes for 2011!

When it comes to the nursery, you really don't need a theme. Pick two colors you love or find inspiration in a wonderful painting, poster, or baby antique and use that as your jumping off point. You may find you become less tired of the room if you're working around a color or an era, plus it'll also transition better to a toddler room.
