When you get the invitation in the mail and see that a baby shower is being hosted in your friend’s honor, the first thing you think about is baby shower gifts. If you think the party is going to be fun, you will be surprised at how much fun shopping for baby shower gifts can be.
Diapers, diapers and more diapers is number one on the list of baby shower gifts. There is no such thing as “too many diapers.” The new mom and dad will appreciate this gift a great deal. An option to an ordinary bag of diapers is a diaper cake. Some can come with as many as 150 diapers, plus bibs, lotions, booties and rattles. Diaper cakes are great baby shower gifts that can also double as a centerpiece.
A new mom might enjoy non-traditional baby shower gifts, such as a New Mommy Spa Kit. You could include body scrub, scented candles, slippers and a few bags of her favorite tea. Remember, once baby arrives, the spotlight is off of mom and now, squarely focused on the new baby. She will need some pampering of her own, too.
A baby time capsule is one of the baby shower gifts that I was recently introduced to. It includes everything new parents will need to keep a record of baby’s first year. You can put all of the keepsakes from the baby shower, pictures of family members with the new baby during the first year, video tapes and the hospital birth certificate into the time capsule. Don’t forget to leave a spot on the lead for a Do Not Open Until label. It is one of the most unique baby shower gifts you will find.
Of course, one of the most traditional of all baby shower gifts is the baby’s layette. A layette consists of all of the clothing items that a newborn will need, including an outfit for baby to go home from the hospital in, sleepers, one piece under shirts, receiving blankets, hooded towels, wash cloths, booties, hats and even burp cloths. The amount of each item needed will vary depending on how much laundry the new mom is going to be doing in the first few weeks after the baby arrives.
Talk to the new mom before shopping for baby shower gifts. She and dad may have already gone shopping for some of the items on your list. She may also be registered for baby shower gifts at a department or specialty store.
