Question: Baby shower gift for D&D player?

Help! Clueless dorks need to come up with a baby shower gift for our Dungeon Master.

My web fu is failing me. Here's hoping the Hive can help.

I'm looking for a Dungeons and Dragons style or similar gift for a baby shower. It seems like there must be something like a little infant's shirt with a d20 on it, but I can't seem to find it.

It really needs to be a D&D or RPG themed gift-- this is for our Dungeon Master for a regular campaign that has been meeting for a while. It will be a gift from the group to the DM. The gift should be for a baby, and it would be nice if it was fairly inexpensive.

I'd be super grateful for any suggestions at all... After checking sites like ThinkGeek I'm still at a loss.

Maybe these? (I'd check to make sure they are safe for newborns.)

I searched for "Dungeons and Dragons Onesie" and got this, amongst many other results.

I particularly like the +5 shirt of pooping.

@sickinthehead and all the rest:

"ONESIE"

So that's what they are called? I told you we were clueless. Many many thanks!

If you're really clueless, let me just point out that the +5 Shirt of Pooping is IMHO a better call. A lot of new parents are... sensitive... about putting their kid in any kind of branded stuff. Unless the J!NX brand has a special place in your communal hearts, I'd just... skip that one.

Also babies are very small. Their asses make poor billboards.

Just my 2cents, but buy as big a size as you can. The little munchkins grow out of the small onesies in the blink of an eye. Yeah, they might not be using it straight away, but believe me, kids never stop needing clothes.

Check out Threadless, they have some amazing onesies. Not D&D related but the parents would definitely love them.

My bad, I didn't fully read the question ("must be D&D related"). Onesie and Toddler Tee.

The one issue I have with the lvl 1 Human onesie is that the AC is listed as 6... which would be true if the baby was a Medium sized creature - i.e. 5-6 feet tall or so. A 'Tiny' with DEX 3 would be AC 8. Annnd the proper abbreviation of Charisma is CHA, not CHR. Also, good lord I'm a nerd.

So two issues, really.
