Is A Gender Neutral Baby Gift Appropriate As A Christmas Gift For A Couple Expecting Their Third Child?

My boyfriend’s friend and his wife are expecting their third child. They already have two boys ages three and one. I thought since they are being so kind to let me stay with them and my boyfriend for three weeks, I’d get them something for Christmas.
I don’t know the gender of the baby, so would a gender neutral baby gift be appropriate for their Christmas gift?

Baby Gift?

A former boss within the same company is having a baby. I have been invited to the baby shower but am unable to attend because I don’t have childcare for my own children. Is it considered rude to not get a gift for her? I am pretty tight with the holidays coming and have 3 close friends having babies in the next 2 months. My former boss and I have never been very close.
