Upstage baby's expensive white elephant gift exchange with today's Groupon: $20 gets you $40 of handmade baby gifts from Stinky Cakes. Stinky Cakes decorate darling cake-shaped diaper gift baskets with ribbons, tulle and must-have items to keep babies purring like new. Bundles of tightly-rolled diapers make up the layers of each Stinky Cake while extras such as binkies, onesie-wearing plushes or bottles of lotion and baby shampoo ornament the outside. Select from categories for boys, girls, unisex and twins or themes like animals or sports. Customizable bibs or ribbons adorn fun-sized Stinky Cupcakes (starting at $29.99) which boast half the number of diapers in full-sized cakes, perfect for new parents or puppy potty trainers. The Life of the Potty package combines one full Stinky Cake with four Stinky Cupcakes to solve baby shower gift-giver's block ($160).
