Coming to a baby shower can be fun and exciting but the novelty of the occasion tends to wear off when it is time to pick out which present is most appropriate to give. Not all parents to be actually sign up for a baby shower gift registry and as an invited guest, you cannot really compel them to.
So now, here you are flying blind in trying to find the perfect baby shower gift. Below are some tips that will help you make a decision:
- The gift item should be practical. It has to be something that the parents and/or baby can actually benefit from
- The gift should neither be too extravagant nor too cheap. You know the drill-if you have the habit of looking up the price of gifts you receive from other people, chances are, the recipient of your gift does as well. Besides, you will be present during the opening of gifts and you certainly would not want to get that “are you too cheap to get something more decent” looks.
- Look up the most “in” baby shower gifts for the season. Yes, there are fads too when it comes to gift giving even when the gifts are for people who are expecting a child.
- Buy something that is safe. Remember that you are essentially shopping for baby essentials so make sure that you always look at the safety info on the packaging.
Here are some of the items that you should consider getting:
- set of feeding bottles (different sizes and designs)
- Baby swaddling blankets
- Breast pump for the mommy
- Car seat
- baby carrier
- oscillating chair
- baby crib (be sure the baby has no crib yet)
- diaper cake (cake made entirely out of diapers and other baby essentials)
- baby mobile
- Infant clothes (you can never have too many of these)
- Stuffed animals (can be used for later months or even years)
- Heating/sterilizing equipment (for the bottles and/or pacifiers)
These are just some of the most popular baby shower gift ideas. There are many more items you can find online or when you make a brief trip to the mall. There is an entire section in malls that is dedicated solely for baby care and all baby-related needs so in truth, you will not run out of options when it comes to shower gifts.
Just keep in mind three major things: safety first, no cheap/useless gifts, and be as thoughtful as you can afford.
