What Should I Give?

A friend of mine is expecting to have a baby soon. We are really glad for her. My circle of friends are excited to see the baby. I wonder who among my friends will initiate the baby shower. I may not be there because we just moved away but I do really want to give her some Baby Gifts. I wanted something of practical use for the baby, something she would be glad she got. I wonder what could I get her. Do you have any ideas?
