Baby Shower Gift Ideas

Selecting a present for a new mom or dad can be a challenging task. Baby showers

are a great way to help support a new mother with her new baby. New mothers

can sign up at a gift registry to avoid duplicate gifts and to indicate her

gift preferences. Here are some good gift ideas for baby showers:

1) Diapers - Diapers are a popular gift for baby showers. Every new mother

will need plenty of diapers for her new baby and this is a very safe gift to

get if you do not have any other ideas or don't know what other people are getting.

2) Personalized Blanket - A personalized blanket is a nice gift for a new baby.

Having the name on the blanket gives it a personal touch and makes it a great

keepsake even after the baby outgrows it.

3) Stuffed Animals - A new baby needs plenty of toys to stay entertained. Stuffed

animals are always a favorite among newborns. A teddy bear is the most traditional

gift, but other stuffed animals are also acceptable gifts.

4) Baby Gift Baskets - Baby gift baskets can contain a wide variety of baby

supplies in them, including baby wipes, diapers, clothes, and just about anything

else that can fit. Gift baskets can also be tailored to the new mother as a

token of appreciation. Such gifts can include gourmet foods, candles, and other

decorative keepsakes.

5) Baby Clothes - A new baby can never have too many clothes. Clothes can come

in a variety of styles and may include hats, booties, and other accessories.

6) Baby Accessories - New babies require many accessories. Baby bibs are popular

as well as blankies. Other ideas include baby bottles, pacifiers, and high chairs.

7) Shirts for Mom and Dad - T-shirts can be a nice gift for new moms and dads.

Some common sayings on these shirts are "New Mommy" or "New Daddy".

Some shirts also say "Mom to Be" or "Dad to Be" - a way

to let everyone know that a new child is on the way.

8) Keepsakes - Various keepsakes will also make nice presents at a baby shower.

Baby picture frames can hold pictures of the new baby or family for years to

come. Other keepsakes include figurines and decorative candles.
