This practical gift is easy to put together on your own; wrap the package in a pretty blanket, top it with a bow, and you’ve got a fantastic, affordable baby-shower gift that the parents-to-be will actually use.

Start with a sturdy basket. The SaraBear Diaper Caddy comes in a gender-neutral green, and has plenty of room for all of the diaper-changing essentials -- plus a handle so parents can easily bring it wherever the baby is. (Want to save some cash? A plastic shower caddy works just as well, and costs much less).

$29.99 at Target.
