It’s just a few weeks away before the baby comes, and we all want to shower the little angel and the parents-to-be with as much love. And we give that all-out welcome through the baby shower party!
While we would love the convenience of choosing from a baby registry or even with that list, deciding on what to give still takes quite an effort.
With that, here are thoughtful baby shower gift ideas that earn you some brownie points to be the coolest aunt and uncle-to-be!
Nursery Effects And Furnishings
At this stage, the soon-to-be-parents are already in the process of building and finalizing their nursery. It would be a thoughtful and generous gesture to take care of some of the essentials on their list. Go big and sponsor the baby’s first cot or electric rockers, drawers, and cabinets that fit the nursery’s theme.
But no need to be pressured to buy something that expensive. You can also go for playmats, changing tables or toppers, mobile toys, and other items that may complement the nursery’s design.
Toys And Playthings
Want something big and cuddly for the baby to remember you? A lifesize teddy bear or plushie will do the trick! Something handy is also a good choice.
You can also go for playthings for the baby’s development, like rattles, sensory play toys, blocks and stacks. Storybooks or other educational instruments are also great options.
Fashionista Babies
Make your future godchildren be fashionistas, and garb them with the coolest OOTDs, from top to the soles! Or make them into dashing princes or dainty princesses with dreamy suits and dresses.
But though we tend to get carried away with all the possible cute and glam outfits, we may also go practical with onesies or cotton loungewear that the baby will be wearing during the first few months. Just remember, it must be comfy, breathable and easy to wear or remove for the parents’ convenience.
Newborn Essentials
It can be packs of diapers, tissues, wipes, creams, which the parents will tend to run through quickly as they deal with all the diaper changes, spit-ups and the likes! Be a bit more extra and grab them cool diaper bags to store all their baby supplies!
Pacifiers, teethers, changing mats, baby bottles, bibs are also helpful choices.
Sentimental Keepsakes
Get the parents started on something the baby can look back on! It can be diaries, journals or scrapbooks that may help the parents chronicle their experience from pregnancy onwards.
Personalized items are also considerate gift ideas, like banners, letter blocks, clothes, bibs, or diaper bags with the baby’s name printed on them!
No-Fuss Gift Cards
If you don’t have much time to go out or browse for gift ideas, gift cards will be your best bet! It’s the less tacky version of giving the parents-to-be cash, but they can use it as they prefer.
It can also be vouchers for services – home cleaning, packed meal deliveries, baby and family photography, massage and spa – you get the picture! They get pampered without the additional expense and effort!
Conclusion
Grabbing gifts for a friend or family member’s baby shower need not be as complicated or expensive. You can go for something practical, cute, or sentimental.
The idea is to get something to show just how excited we are for the baby’s arrival and to show our support to the parents-to-be!
