I have been graciously offered two baby showers and so I am beginning the registry process. For all you Moms & Dads out there, what are some must haves or unique baby items that helped you out that you'd recommend?

I obviously know the basics, (car seat, stroller, crib, pump, bottles, diapers...) but am wondering if there are other baby items out there that won't be on the registry check lists.... Also, is there anything they say you need but you don't?

Any advice is appreciated!
