I am not very fond of shopping for baby gifts. There's so much to choose from, which often leave me very undecided that I end up going from store to store. So when my husband gave me the task of shopping for a baby shower gift for one of his colleague at work, I got so tensed just thinking about what to get for the baby and/or the expectant mother.

Well, I didn't want to get caught up in all the fuss about getting the "perfect gift" for this baby shower. So I decided to do something different, buy online hoping to find something not so expensive, and different. And boy, did I find some things.

Here are a few of the gifts that I found to be baby shower worthy. You might just find this helpful in deciding what to get the next time you are invited to a baby shower:

Billy Bob Pacifier

Some people may not think that these pacifiers make a great baby shower gift, mainly because it will make any infant baby look kind of scary and weird looking. Even I would suggest that you only give this at a 'close friend's' baby shower, not a colleague's. But I thought I'll just share this anyway.

When I saw this pacifier, at first I was dazed, and then I busted out laughing. Yeah, that’s the type of reaction you should expect when you give this hilarious looking pacifiers to a new baby. Everyone who sees this should laugh. Well, everyone except for those without a funny bone.

Yes, it’s true it may make the baby look like a beaver, but what the baby doesn't know won’t kill the baby, right? The cool part is the baby just giggles along every time someone laughs at the sight of the pacifier. What better way to keep the baby laughing. And we all know that when the baby is happy, everyone is happy.

Funny Tots Onesies

The all-original funny baby onesies by Funny Tots have some very hilarious text/photo print varieties. Imagine the laughter that’ll fill the air when the expectant mother opens your gift and reads aloud the text prints on one of this onesies.

These onesies are cute, funny, and will keep everyone around the baby laughing. Onesies are 100% cotton, and come in newborn and infant toddler sizes. Get a couple of them for an expectant mother in different sizes. I assure you, they will be both parent and child’s favorite for years to come.

Green Sprouts Eco-Friendly Bibs

We all know that bibs are a baby’s essential, since they go through tons of bibs in a day. These bibs are actually sized for toddlers, but don’t worry, babies grow fast anyway and should be using it in no time.

They are eco-friendly, absorbent knit bib with realistic food designs in assorted bright colors. And with funny text prints like “I love sushi”, and "I love tacos”, these bibs should be a conversation starter for the adult around the baby. You can never get enough of these, so get them in all the different print varieties.

Wubbanub Infant Plush Toy Pacifier

These varieties of pacifiers are not as hilarious (except if someone thinks your baby is in the process of swallowing a giraffe) as they are cute. Whoever came up with this idea for a pacifier is a genius.

Ordinary pacifiers tend to fall off frequently and moms have to constantly rinse or wash them before giving them back to baby. But the Wubbanub Pacifiers are different. They combine a cute plush toy with a hospital grade pacifier.

This design helps keep the pacifier close to the baby while the attached soft, bean-filled animal friend provides stimulation for the baby's little fingers as babies tend to grab on to the object around the pacifier.

Any expectant mother would love to have this. And even if the baby never end up using the pacifier, the plush toy will be irresistible.

These gifts may not be everybody's favorite, but may end up being the expectant mothers favorite for a long time to come. On the other hand, you may even get a few, “those are so cute”, “where did you get these”, or “why didn't I think of that” from fellow gift givers at the shower.

Sometimes getting a gift that’ll put a smile on somebody’s face may just be the safest thing to do. These types of gifts, gifts that are original and cute, may be just what you need to do that. Who knows, they may actually add some sparks to the baby shower party. Nothing wrong with a few laughs. So go ahead, surprise some expectant mom with one, or all of these cute and hilarious baby gifts. You'll be glad you did!
