If I were you, I would go out and buy 'The Everything Baby Shower Book.' I bought it for my first shower (my mom and I planned it together) and it was the best! Now that I have three babies, that's the best that I've found. But just some of the things that I did:

games:
the you can't say the word baby game: you get ribbon and plastic baby pacifiers (from the party store, they're tiny, not real ones) and make necklaces. All of the guests get one when they arrive, and when you hear someone say the word "baby" you get to take their necklace(s). The person with the most necklaces at the end of the shower wins!

The bottle drinking game: fill 6-8 bottles with 4 oz. of juice and have guests volunteer themselves (don't tell them what they're volunteering for!). Whoever drinks all of their juice first wins!

The baby items game: You fill a tray up with lots of baby items (diaper, pacifier, safety pins, wipes, spoons, etc) and walk through the guests, giving each of them just a few seconds to see what's on the tray. Then you hide the tray from view and give the women paper and pencil, and whoever remembers the most items that were on the tray and writes them down wins!

The present game: I took a gift card and wrapped it up in so many rolls of wrapping paper, and made it into a huge ball. This is kind of a take on musical chairs. Wile the music is playing the guests pass the ball around (everyone needs to be in a circle) and when it stops, whoever has the gift gets to try and rip off as much paper as possible. When the music starts again, they have to keep passing it along. Whoever ends up getting to the gift card first wins!

There are lots more games, but I just can't remember. An easy gift to give everyone is to get little bags and fill them up with pink or blue M&Ms or some other candy is nice. I went out and got $10.00 gift cards for the winners of the games (I had no more than 4 games, you don't want overkill!), at Victoria's Secret, Borders, Starbucks, and Wal-Mart (I tried to think of places that most all women shop at!). Sorry this is so long... good luck!
