Panic strikes!

I've been invited to a friend's baby shower. Of course I'm delighted, but I'm a bit lost...it's going to be a pudding party, so we bring our favourite dessert. I don't know whether we're supposed to cook it or not. If the answer's yes, I'm doomed!

To make matters worse, pud or no pud, a baby shower's where you bring gifts for Mum and Baby right? So what's good? The only baby shower present I can recall is the nappy cake from Sex and the City. Expected baby is a girl. Mama-to-be is sophisticated, bold, successful and strongly opinionated about what her daughter should wear, so I fear with many a mighty palpitation all that pink for girls, blue for boys horror. Won't go near it - which seems to limit me a lot. Anyone have good ideas/know great websites for this kind of thing?

Thanks for any help you can give!

That is a true and lovely idea...my first book was a massive tome of nursery rhymes. Even now I recall Hickory Dickory Dock as my favourite. I just liked the way it sounds!
