There is still a baby shower and you try to give the perfect baby shower gift, this expectant parents find special in your life! Surfing the internet and go for a couple of department stores and everywhere you can see the same gifts you gave your visit with all of you another baby showers. There are also those of you who may be your baby shower before you go, where is the grandmother or the father of the unborn child the star! Regardless of the type of baby shower you attend,you will find the following list of gift ideas helpful:
1. Professional Portrait Studio Package - Surprise and please the mother-to-be with a prepaid sitting at a local Professional Portrait Studio. Who wouldn't want to have pictures of their new baby!
2. Mommy Gift Basket - Instead of focusing on the unborn, pamper the expecting mother and give a gift basket full of items that will help her feel beautiful again. Be creative in selecting the items to put in there, and remember that she will most likely be home from six to eight weeks after the birth of her child. A great gift basket may include champagne, popcorn, a Blockbuster Gift Card, and calming bath wash. The idea here would be for her to take a nice long bath and relax with a movie, champagne and popcorn. You could change or add some items to make it a gift basket for both the parents of the new baby to have a romantic night together. You never know when the last time they may of had one of these due to the pregnancy!
3. Coupons - You could be a real pal and give your loved ones "Get One Free" Cards for babysitting, cooking, washing clothes, etc.
4. Baby Gift Basket - I don't mean the average gift basket that includes lotions. baby oil, bottles, bibs, etc. I'm talking about the items that everyone else at the shower will forget! My favorite baby gift basket idea includes Infant Tylenol/Motrin, Diaper Rash Ointment, Baby Orajel, Thermometer, Infant Gas Relief, Medicine Dispenser, and Hydrocortisone Cream. That way when the baby gets sick for the first time, you will receive massive praise from the expectant mother!
5. A Gift for the older Sibling - This was my favorite gift from my baby shower as it stopped me from having to make a stop on my way home! There was no way I could go home with a truck full of toys for my unborn baby and nothing for my older daughter. It really doesn't have to be anything expensive, just a coloring book, crayons, and a small toy would suffice.
6. Gift Card - Contrary to what mother other people suggest, I would not suggest a gift card to a restaurant for a sit down dinner. Instead, I would get her a gift card to her favorite take out place as she may not want to go out with the new baby.
7. Baby Hamper with Baby Laundry Detergent - You didn't think of this one did you? This is a perfect baby shower gift ideas because it is likely one of those things that some new moms may try to get by without but, wouldn't mind having.
8. Baby Shower Scrap Book - why not have everyone make a page to go in the scrap book at the shower, designate someone to take the pictures and hand her the scrap book at a later date. This would be perfect for an office baby shower, where the scrap book would be handed to her upon her return to work.
9.Diaper Genie with Diapers and Wipes - God Bless the Diaper Genie! Everyone needs one! For those of you who do not know what a diaper genie is, it is basically a trash can for used disposable diapers. However, unlike your ordinary trash can, you insert the dirty diaper, close the lid, and turn a knob that will wrap each dirty diaper up tightly to conceal the odor.
10. Diaper Cake or Wreath - these are creative and very modern baby shower gift ideas that you can make on your own. They could easily serve as both a centerpiece and a gift!
There you have it ...the best baby shower gift ideas! Happy Shopping!
