Top Baby Shower Gift Ideas
It can sometimes be hard to come up with unique, but beneficial baby shower gifts. To save you time and energy we have come up with our top picks. We surveyed moms to ask them what items they would like to receive. Below are a few of their recommendations.
Set up meals after the baby is born. This is a great gift for a new mom. Talk to a bunch of the new mom’s friends and set up times when meals can be brought. Print out the schedule and provide the details with the mom to be so she knows when the meals will be brought. She will be absolutely delighted, and relieved, to not have to cook while she is recovering after the delivery.
Provide a bath kit for the new baby. Every baby needs to be bathed, so why not have fun with this concept and fill a baby tub with shampoos and soaps the new baby can use. There are really cute hooded towels out there and bath toys that can go with washcloths and bathroom essentials.
Start a book collection for the baby. Reading is important for children of all ages, even when they are babies. Remember that board books last longer than paper books with babies.
Get her a cute baby sling or baby carrier. Baby slings allow new moms to snuggle up to the baby while keeping their arms free to do other projects around the home. Baby slings also increase the parent-child bond. What a great gift.
Baby Keepsake Book is a great gift. Memory books of the baby’s beginning years help preserve those precious memories of the baby up to around their 5th birthday. There are online sites, such as the one found here, that offer a lot of cute designs to choose from.
Get the new mom an activity gym for the baby. An activity gym allows babies to enjoy the environment around them. This can be very nice during tummy time if the gym comes with toys that hang down. Plus they are easy to move, which is nice when you want to move baby from room to room.
Lastly, get your friend a boppy pillow. A boppy or nursing pillow can be really handy when feeding a baby a bottle or nursing them. It can also save your arm when you are rocking them to calm them down as well.
