8 cool-ass baby shower gifts
No, I will not buy you nipples (or the bottles that go with them). I will not buy you play pads or Baby Bjorns or even "Goodnight, Moon." Your registry means nothing to me, my pregnant peeps--nothing!
When I attend your shower (and you know who you are), I will be choosing from my very own list of not-so-ho-hum baby gifts. Your kid will thank me later when there are less photos of him/her in blue/pink standards and more in things like rad pigeon t-shirts (which will look WAY cooler when you pay to place his/her baby photo in that section in the back of their senior class yearbook).
Class of 2028, you're welcome.
1. The Official Tooth Fairy Kit by Notion Farm
Okay, THIS is the cutest gift ever invented ever. Maybe I'll even have kids one day just to be gifted with it (or, alternatively, I'll just knock out my own teeth and wait around for some money to magically appear under my pillow).
2. Adventure Cape at oliebollen.com
ADVENTURE CAPE! Awesome!
3. City in a Bag by Muji
I know. Tiny unsafe pieces included. So look, just don’t give it to them until they're 7, okay?
4. fauna collection pigeon t-shirt by fawn&forest
(It just makes me laugh because it's completely random and so inappropriately cool for a baby t-shirt.)
5. Never Mind Your P's and Q's - Here's the Punk Alphabet at insound.com
B is for babies that are already hipper than me.
6. Vitra Eames Elephant at Design Public
Delicious AND mid-century modern.
7. Temporary Tattoos for Talking Hands at A+R Store
Storytime gets WAY better when hand tattoos are involved.
8. No Monsters Allowed print by johnwgolden at etsy.com
Enough said.

You can add my stock new baby gift to this list-- the Rockabye Baby CDs that have lullaby versions of The Cure, Queens of the Stone Age, AC/DC...something for everybody. And you can't beat the expression on people's faces when they are at your house and you have the baby monitor on and they say, "Wait a minute...that lullaby sounds just like 'smells like teen spirit'..."
NICE. Thanks, Tess! Adding it to the list. Huh-larious.
Excellent picks for sure-to-be-cool babies. "Your registry means nothing to me" - so great!
Thanks for stopping by, Laura! That means a lot, especially coming from your neck of the woods...you made my night.
Yea for Baby Howle! He'll be so hip, thanks to Auntie Feez! :)
WHY did I not consult this posting before I purchased my last baby registry gift??!! I am clearly so uncool. Will not make the same mistake twice. And BTW, is it too bizarro to get the "No Monsters Allowed" poster for myself? Kinda obsessed with it!! Amazing finds!
My friend, I wholeheartedly support you buying "No Monsters Allowed"--a very good motto, methinks...
