• Baby diapers: a necessity.babywindeln image by Daniel Fuhr from Fotolia.com
  
  Babies usually use five to nine diapers per day as newborns, according to BabysStory.com, so when you give diapers as a gift, you are giving something baby is sure to use and parents will appreciate. Baby diapers are good baby shower and newborn baby gifts and many expectant parents even put diapers on their baby registries.
  
  

Various Sizes

• Babies grow rapidly, creating the need for many diaper sizes. Most diaper brands carry seven or eight different sizes, according to DiapyWipey.com. Instead of giving several packages of newborn diapers, consider giving packages of various sizes, starting at newborn size or size one.
  
  

Baby Blocks

• Square-shaped diaper packages can double as a "baby block" centerpiece for a baby shower. Wrap each package in white (or plain light colored) wrapping paper, then decorate the gifts to look like traditional alphabet building blocks with crayons or markers. When mom-to-be opens her shower gifts, she can open the "blocks" to discover several packages of usable diapers.
  
  

Stuffed Bag

• Filling a diaper bag with diapers makes two gifts in one. Additional pockets on the diaper bag make room to include other small, diaper-related necessities such as diaper rash cream, baby powder and wipes. Diaper pails and hanging diaper storage units make good baby gifts as well, according to IndianChild.com, the same concept applies to anything diapers will fit inside.
  
  

Diaper Cake

• A diaper cake is just what it sounds like---an inedible cake made of diapers. Diaper cakes can be used as baby shower centerpieces or as decoration in a new mom's hospital room. Many companies sell pre-made diaper cakes, or you can make your own using directions and tips from websites like Plan-the-Perfect-Baby-Shower.com and Creative-Baby-Shower-Ideas.com.
