It’s a… Surprise! The Best Baby Gifts (For a Boy OR a Girl!)
Blake Lively and hottie hubs Ryan Reynolds want their baby’s gender to be a… surprise (gasp!). Let’s be honest, most of us thought that idea was, well, a bit old school — until now. Suddenly, choosing between pink or blue onesies doesn’t seem as exciting as a baby surprise. If you’ve decided Blake’s gender-surprise idea is now novel, we’ve dug up some fab baby finds you can shop for before you know whether your lil surprise is a boy or girl.
