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.
