Everyone loves to celebrate the arrival of a new bundle of joy. Shopping for a new baby can be so much fun, however it can also be tricky to find a unique and useful gift that the new mama will love. Here are 5 baby shower gift ideas that are sure to impress:
It’s Play Time -By 3 months old babies are ready to start exploring the world around them by reaching out and holding on to toys. However their coordination skills still leave something to be desired. That is why toys that can clip on, like the Playgro Pooky Puppy, are perfect. Lots of fun for baby, without mom having to pick up dropped toys all the time.
Dress To Impress – From spit up to drool there are a lot of fluids that come out of babies. The Cheeky Chompers Neckerchew is more then just a “bib” the soft fabric is 3 layers thick which offers lots of absorbancy for drooly babies. I love that the Neckerchew is reversible and has 2 snap settings to grow along with your child. It has a teether attached right to it for baby’s who want something to bite on.
Ride In Style – The Mamas and Papas Activity Spiral is perfect for keeping baby entertained in the stroller or car seat. Wrap the spiral around the handle and away you go with built in entertainment that your baby can’t throw on the ground.
Don’t Forget Mom – Add a little something in just for mom to your gift. Everyone is so focused on baby, it can be easy to forget that new moms need a little attention too. Pick up a some nice tea, or a pack of nursing pads if you like to go the practical route to give as a little gift just for her.
Go Big – If you know the gender of the baby buy clothes that are 12 months or larger. So many people give clothes for the early months, but kids grow so fast at the newborn, 3, 6 and even 9 month stage that they don’t wear them for very long. Even if you don’t know the gender you can still by clothing in neutral colours, or socks (because you can never seem to have enough socks!).
Shopping for baby showers just got easier with these baby shower gift ideas! If you are in charge if bringing food to the baby shower, why not make up some Baby Rattle Oreo Pops.
These are some great ideas for baby showers. I honestly always forget about the mom. I will have to try to remember to give the mommy a little something too.
Buying for babies is so much fun, it can be easy to forget about mom
These are all such great gift ideas for a baby shower!
Onesies are some of my favorite baby clothing!!
there are so many cute ones out there!
Great ideas for baby shower and adding something for the mom is a great idea! Thanks!
The go big tip is fabulous! When I had both my kids I ended up with so many newborn clothes that they couldn’t wear for long. I always buy at least 6 month+ clothes now for friends that are having babies.
With my first son between hand-me-downs and gifts we had almost 50 3-6 month onesies… way more then we would ever need!
I love that wrap-around toy for the stroller! What a great idea!
I agree with Go Big. I usually buy clothes bigger because everyone wants to buy newborn or 3 months. This way they don’t have one more outfit their little one may not get to wear.
I absolutely LOVE the neckerchew, what a great idea! I got some 12 month plus clothes for my baby showers and they were much appreciated later on when I needed clothes in higher sizes!
My favorite gift from my baby shower was a diaper genie!
These are such cute ideas! My son has a Neckerchew, and he loves it 🙂
I love how absorbent the Neckerchew is, looks cute and keeps my little drooly girl dry.
These are great ideas. I like the neck chew one!
I LOVE buying baby gifts! I think they are my most fun gift to buy!
great ideas love the wrap around the stroller one
Karmin baby milk maker is my preference 🙂
