Make a splash with a collection of gifts for baby's first bath. Fill a pastel pink, green or blue metal bucket with an animal-shaped bath wrap, animal-shaped soaps, a soft washcloth, baby shampoo, lotion and a baby brush. Once bathtime is over, the bucket doubles as convenient storage for floating toys and squirters.

Get a little greener with your gift giving. Create a natural theme by choosing a seagrass or rattan basket as your gift box. Pull together a collection of organic cotton items, from blankets and bedding to clothing and plush teddy bears. Then tuck a bottle of organic laundry detergent inside. Tie raffia around the basket with a sprig of lilac or other dried flowers as a natural finishing touch.

Celebrate the dad-to-be by putting together a diaper bag just for him that's filled with all the baby basics. Start with a neutral-colored or black messenger-style diaper bag. It should look cool enough for a guy to carry, yet still have all the necessary storage space. Fill the bag with diapers, baby powder, wipes, bottles, burp cloths, a change of clothes and a stuffed plush animal. He'll be all set for his first solo outing!

While you have to wait to add baby's name to newborn gifts, you can still have fun creating personalized gifts for the baby shower. Add words such as "giggle", "cutie pie", "all boy", "cuddle", "peanut", "baby love", "cupcake" or "sweet pea" to soft cotton onesies, a plush baby blanket and a silver keepsake frame. Place everything in a reusable natural fiber basket detailed with a pink, blue or green gingham liner.
