Baby shower gift- opinion pls
Since a couple weeks ago, everything big is gone from my friends registry. So I'm thinking of buying this really cute giraffe hamper they registered for and stuffing it full of clothes, diapers, bottles and a bunch of the little things they registered for. Instead of wrapping everything just put a big bow around the hamper and organize it all cute inside. What do you guys think? Should I wrap everything? Or is this just a totally lame idea?

Re: Baby shower gift- opinion pls
That's a wicked good idea! I think a lot of the time people don't get those little things because everyone wants to give a themed gift, so sticking them in the hamper is a great idea. You could wrap them before you put them in, but I don't think it's necessary, unless you can see through the hamper.
I hate wrapping gifts-- it seems like such a waste of paper (to me)... it would take a lot of time to open each individual small gift at the shower! Great idea though! I think if you got towels or whatever, you could tie each one separately with a ribbon or something like that.
Phew! GIad you guys think it's ok! think I might wrap some of the things that are easier to wrap, or some of the bigger items and leave some unwrapped. Or maybe I'll tie everything with a cute ribbon or something. I was worried not wrapping anything would be kind of weird but maybe if I do cute bows or something it would be ok?
Jcam- good call on the diapers. I thought about that too, luckily theyr'e using cloth diapers which they registered for so I might get some of the covers for them.
I think that's an awesome idea, even if you don't wrap everything.
ETA: My MIL gave me a hamper with a bunch of stuff in it at my wedding shower and she didn't wrap anything but she put tissue paper along the sides and on the top of it so you couldn't see in, maybe you could do that.
Oh that's awesome! Both that they are CDing, and that you would buy them some covers :-)
They're big fans of eco-friendly products, as are we so I love supporting it. By your comment I suspect you plan to be a cloth-diapering mama too? I hope I can get a washing machine by the time we have a little one. Otherwise, yikes haha.
I definitely want to, but I still haven't convinced my husband. I really really hope I can!
