Whether you are hosting a baby shower or are just a guest, its always nice to have some fresh (i.e. non-registry) gift ideas for the expecting mom. For those soon-to-be urban babies, adding a few funkier books to their library makes for a great gift. Here are a few that the Hip Hostess recommends, which will be loved by urban and suburban moms alike.
