When you have a large circle of friends and the baby shower invitation start coming, you want to attend each and every shower but when you're on a budget you have to be circumspect and spend every dollar wisely.

You can't attend one shower and not another without hurting feelings so a good solution is to get creative with your baby gifts and that way you can give a great gift without reaching into your emergency savings.

Gift of Favors
Along with a cute stuffed bear, include a special book of coupons for the mother-to-be to call up at any time. They can range from cleaning house to baby sitting or making the new mom and pop a dinner for two while you watch the baby.

Gift to Keep
A keepsake is a great gift. Baby will only be little once and it doesn't last. Capturing those moments will be priceless. A special baseball that can have a little slugger's handprint that will be treasured by new parents for years to come. Other affordable keepsakes include plaster hand and foot prints of the little one to be proudly displayed.

Gifts to Use
If you're crafty, you can make a special pillow or blanket for the baby. Knitted or crocheted items never go out of style and the fact it was specially made for baby will make it all the more special.

You can give a great gift at every shower without spending a fortune.
