I made a basket for a baby shower and it was so popular that people asked me later to make it again for them. I included the things that you forget you will need until you need them. Some of the things I included was: manicure set, infant tylenol, diaper rash cream, baby hair brush, thermometer, Ipecac syrup, baby wipes, Ivory Snow, tea bags (for Mom), Movie tickets (for Mom and Dad), a certificate for babysitting by me, a small gift for older sibblings if any, they tend to feel left out, and a $20.00 gas card for Dad, since we lived far from the hospital and he was going there every day twice a day and she was there for a week. It has been over 10 years since the first time I made the first one and I have lost track of how many I have made since.
