There are so many things to choose from to give as a baby shower gift. How do you know what will really be used? The DIY Network has a list of five baby shower gifts you know will be used.

First on the list is a high chair. If this is out of your budget, might I suggest doing a gift basket full of eating supplies, such as bibs, spoons, bowls, cups, etc. I know one of our favorite bibs that we use all the time was a gift from my sister-in-law.

Other ideas include a "cleaning basket" full of baby safe cleansers, a baby bath essential gift basket (check the ZRecs Guide for safe brands and quality ratings), a washable toy gift basket (check the Guide for phthalate-free recommendations), and a portable changing station gift basket.

I bet any mom would love to get some practical gifts packaged up in a fun basket! - Trisha
