SO, I have a baby shower this weekend for my hubby's aunt. I am torn between purchasing something off the registry or just getting some useful baby supplies and creating a care basket with things I found useful. In the basket I would include things like, Aquaphor lotion, diaper cream, a colorful baby book, rattle, teether, little things such as that. The registry is full of a lot of fluff gifts except for the more expensive things, which are out of my price range. SO, question, do I suck it up and purchase something something off the registry that is in my price range that I fear will be deemed useless, or is it okay that I create a baby care package gift basket? Do you only purchase off your registry or do you stray to purchasing gifts of your own thinking?
--------------------
I think the gift basket of things you found useful is a perfect idea. I know that's what I would prefer to get. If this is a first baby for your hubby's aunt, she may well have walked through the store with the registration gun just zapping anything she thought was cute, without knowing if she'd really use it. First-timers (like me) have no experience to draw on. So go with the gift basket. It's a much more thoughtful, personal gift than a random thing off a probably random list.
