Here is a simple and quick idea for a baby shower gift that new moms love. Devotional Diapers....since you know that new mamas barely have time to brush their teeth, let alone finding time to get in the Word! This is all you need:

newborn diapers
mailing labels
ribbon or raffia
a card that says "Devotional Diapers- for the mom with very little time!"
several verses about love, patience, and even a few quotes on mothering (1 Corinthians 13, Psalm 17:7, Psalm 18:1, John 15:12-13, Galatians 2:20, Ephesians 3:17-19 are just a few to get you started)

Simply write out your verses out quotes and attach them to each diaper, wrap up, and give!

Combine this with a great book on mothering, like The Mission of Motherhood, and you have a simple, encouraging gift for a new mama!
