The anticipation of having a baby is an exciting time for a family because they bring so much joy and love to everyone around them. Throwing a baby shower for a loved one is very common when someone is expecting. Below is a closer look at ten baby shower gift ideas that are sure to be a hit.
Customized Picture Frames
Expecting parents will take many pictures of their children throughout their life. Because of this, custom wood frames would be an excellent gift. These frames come in different sizes, shapes, and colors. Options include the canvas printing, bubble opening mats, various frames, and multi-opening mat designs.
Diapers
Gifting expecting parents diapers is a wonderful idea because diapers are expensive, and they will need a lot of them in the first few months. If you would like to be creative, you can find different tutorials online showing you how to make different diaper cakes to gift.
Blankets
Blankets are another popular item babies will need. There are many types, colors, and sizes of blankets you can purchase. For example, swaddle blankets are wanted by parents, especially in the first couple of months after their baby is born.
Stuffed Animals
A soft and cute stuffed animal is a great idea to gift someone at a baby shower. Some stuffed animals come with a blanket, while others come with a teething toy. There are many stuffed animals to choose from, ranging in size and price.
A Memory Book
A memory book is a sentimental gift that will help parents track their baby’s exciting events and milestones throughout their first few years. This is also a great way to look back on old photographs and memories.
Gift Basket
A gift basket is a great way to show the person that you are thinking about them because of the customized basket you present them. Items to include in the gift basket include diapers, pacifiers, toy rattles, diaper cream, baby wipes, a picture frame, stuffed animal, and so much more.
Baby Books
Gifting books is a great way to encourage reading in younger kids and will assist the parents in having a few books before the baby arrives. Books are important in a child’s development, as well as entertaining for the kid.
Clothing
Although a lot of expecting parents do not like to receive clothing, there are a few items that they would appreciate. For instance, socks are always a great idea for a gift. Bibs and undergarments are also appreciated.
Mobiles
Mobile is an important part of a baby’s room because it hangs above the crib and provides the baby with a focal point to soothe them when they are upset. Many mobiles play music and go around in a circle, keeping the baby occupied for a few minutes.
Toys
Although babies do not need toys in the first few months of their life, gifting them toys they can use later is a great idea. As the baby gets older and is ready for a new toy, the parents can easily reach for something new to hand them.
The above gifts are only a few of the many ideas you can gift expecting parents. When you are invited to a baby shower, the most important aspect is to celebrate with the family. A gift is a bonus, but it is not a necessity.
