Baby Shower
This question was extremely long, explaining the whole situation, I decided that you guys don't need all of the details. A friend of mine is currently pregnant, the baby is due the second week of May. Her baby shower will be May 2nd and I need some ideas of what to get. She already has just about everything you could buy for a baby. It's going to be a girl, and I want something that won't cost too much over $20 because she isn't my best friend in the world, but she is a good person. They already have bottles, toys, diapers, blankets, and the works. What are some things that a baby girl can never have too much of, just in case I get something that somebody else (or the parents) have already bought?
I'm 15/f, so is she, but she'll be 16. The baby's dad is 19, still in the picture, and the mom and dad are getting married once my friend turns 16 in July. Please no lectures on that, she's already talked to one of the parenting teachers here, her mom, and guidance and all sorts of people. I just need some ideas for a baby shower gift. Thanks in advance.

Maybe give some free advice about: Random Weirdos?
Do you know what the baby's name will be? Maybe you can buy the mom stuff to make a scrapbook? Or maybe you can buy something for the baby and have it embroidered. Think about how old the baby will be during certain holidays, or seasons, and buy baby clothes that might fit her around that time that YOU especially pick out for her. Maybe you can go to build-a-bear! Get something for the mom, not just the baby. I don't know what she'll like but you know what will make her feel special. If you don't think these are good ideas, buy her a gift card for somewhere like wal-mart or something, she what she has registered anywhere, that way she can get what she does need. Good luck and I hope I helped!

I think the advice left before I saw your question is extremely helpful, so I won't change a word of it as far as the money spending is concerned, but have you thought about maybe making her a "coupon" book? I'm thinking babysitting (ask an adult if they can help you, first, if you need it), as she's going to want to spend some down time with her fiancee and she's going to be quite frazzled. Just a thought.

Things you can get that will be very helpfull is:
-diapers
-get clothes that are more like 12 months because even tho it says 12month aka 1 year babys usually wear them before that because they grow really quick.
-Diaper bags. You can never have enough.
I have a few websites for ideas like activites or even things you can do and give to your friend.

if she's registered anywhere, you can check that.
A good idea might be a gift certificate somewhere, like Walmart or Target or Babies R Us. That way if she does run out of something, she has that extra cash laying around for emergencies, or special treats.
Or you might want to buy her clothes for when the baby is older. Most people will probably get her clothes for a newborn, but babies grow fast, so she'll need older clothes soon enough.
