Special Gift Ideas for Baby Showers
Is there a new baby in your life? Are you looking for a unique baby shower gift that will really show how much you care; or a way to help parents treasure baby’s first years? Try these interesting and thoughtful gift ideas for baby showers, mailed gifts or personal presentations...
Personalized Baby Gift Baskets
Personalized gift baskets are not only unique, but can fit nearly any budget. It’s a great way to put your own stamp on what can otherwise be an off-the-shelf standard at baby showers.
- To create a luxury baby gift basket, collect a monogrammed baby blanket, silver picture frame and an engraved baby bracelet and present them in a lovely basket, color coordinated with the new nursery.
- Or give mom and dad a helping hand with a baby tub filled with diapers, wipes, pacifiers, gripe water and a gift certificate for two hours babysitting or house cleaning – their choice!
- If you want a cute and cuddly gift basket give it an eco-friendly twist with a soft, unbleached cotton sleeper and stuffed toy, non-toxic plastic teether and a month of cloth diaper service to allow parents a chance to get to know baby without the burden of diaper washing!
- If you’re strapped for time or ideas you can always shop online for inspiration or send a personalized gift basket nearly anywhere in the world knowing it will arrive as prettily packaged as the day it was sent!
Baby Photography Gift Ideas
Anne Geddes isn’t the only one who can take beautiful pictures of new babies, but she sure inspires them! No parent should miss out on having a professional portrait of their new baby.
Tired parents may be so swamped with baby care, or tight budgets, that they don’t capture the beauty of their newborn in professional baby photographs. A gift certificate for pictures can help parents treasure the image of their child as a fragile and tender infant forever.
If photographs are already taken, consider creating a personalized photograph book, engraving a frame or having a favorite photo transferred onto canvas to create a stunning piece of artwork.
Give a Baby Safety Themed Gift
Baby safety gifts are a wonderful and practical way to show your love and support to new parents. A book on emergency care and a kit including thermometer, baby nail clippers and medicine syringe are great gifts every parent would appreciate.
Baby-proofing supplies abound and you can easily fill a gift bag with handy devices such as cabinet locks, outlet covers and table corner bumpers to provide some peace of mind to parents when baby starts crawling and walking.
Mom and Sibling Gifts
A gift-giver will never be forgotten who includes mom or siblings in the gift giving.
- A small toy or book for a big brother or sister will help pacify jealousy and make sure they don’t feel forgotten in all the hype over the baby.
- Mom (or dad) will also appreciate a token of love with a gift of soothing creams or scented candles as a reminder that parents need special time too. A gift of time – either babysitting, cleaning or cooking - is a fantastic way to connect with the new family while providing a heartfelt way of showing how much you care.
Great gifts don’t have to be expensive. With a little thought and imagination you can create a unique baby gift that will be cherished!
