Diaper Cakes are a great unique baby shower gift designed to look like a cake but containing the essentials for baby including diapers, towels, toys and layette items. Clothing and related items are always welcome gifts, and if these are personalized, are valued that much more. Almost any gifts can be personalized, including monogrammed cloth diapers, receiving blankets dyed to match the nursery's theme, engraved piggy banks and photo frames, and many more ideas that spring up every day.
Personalized baby shower gifts are always appreciated. One great idea is to buy a wicker basket, line it with a soft, velvety baby blanket, and fill it with individual baby items you have picked out yourself, add a hand-loomed baby sweater to the baby booties in the basket, and perhaps include a matching hand-loomed hat. The baby shower gift basket needs to incorporate all the things that a mother would require after the birth of the child.
Diapers are always a safe bet. Although it's not a glamorous gift, at least you know it will be used. We all know that you can never have too many diapers of which mummy will find out a little later when baby is here. Diaper bags are big and can be filled with all kinds of baby stuff. A good baby shower gift idea then is to give her storage containers or breast pumps. Ask the mom-to-be what she plans for her nursery decor and go from there. If her decor is lace and cream, then keep to that same look and feel for the baby shower, using baby shower party decorations with that color and pattern.
Choosing a theme for your baby shower gift allows you to choose some smaller baby gifts and give them as a thoughtful present. For example, instead of giving a rattle, baby booties, baby outfit and a matching bottle, why not give a baby bathtub filled with a duck hooded towel and matching washcloth, baby soap, baby lotion, rubber ducky and a bath time story.
Books given as baby shower gifts will help parents build a library for the child. When you give books as baby shower gifts you are helping provide a key tool for the development of the child. Once the child is born childrens books are a gift they can keep for a lifetime! As you can see the list of ideas for baby shower gifts is endless, just remember that to new parents to be can most likely use anything for a new born and will appreciate it. If you are the on that is throwing the baby shower the there is on gift you should not forget it can either be personalized baby shower gifts or favors, they are the perfect way to thank everyone for coming!
