8 Great Ideas for those Unique Baby Shower Gifts
Always a great idea is a personalized baby gift. That personal touch makes it a distinct and special gift that grows into a cherished token over the years. A gift at a baby shower is usually before the baby arrives, making it difficult to know the name or date of birth. An option in these cases would be to give a gift certificate for an engraving or etching to make it personal, after the baby is born. The proud parents would than be able to take and personalize your gift for their new arrival.
Some great items that make good personalized gifts are baby cups/bottles, picture frames, bibs, and any kind of cute little baby apparel. The number one item that is personalized though is, baby blanket. These are generally given after the name is known so that it can be embroidered on the blanket.
Here is a short list of 8 unique baby shower gift ideas;
1. Plan what you are going to end up with so that you will be able to buy the correct size basket. Baskets can be found in many craft stores, in many different sizes, shapes and colors. Pick up some pretty colored shredded tissue paper for filler on the baskets bottom.
2. If you happen to have a large basket you would like to use, it would be easy to fill up with items such as blankets, stuffed bunny or teddy, pillows or crib bumpers.
3. The babies needs will also be determined by whether this is the first or second child. Sometimes that second child will be using some of older siblings out grown and slightly used items. If mom has filled out a baby registry, that will also give you some great ideas.
4. A cute idea for your baby gift basket is to use a theme. Maybe a complete Disney character, or some cartoon character. Does mom or dad have a favorite sports team or college colors and theme. When you are going with a specific theme, your imagination and readily available licensed items will make it happen.
5. Your creative baby shower gift can be taken another step by replacing your basket with maybe a diaper bag, bath tub or maybe even a laundry basket to hold everything.
6. Maybe the diaper bag is just an addition to your basket, with disposable diapers, or for a tub, you can fill it with baby bathing accessories, such as soaps, towels, bubble bath, powder, baby shampoo, lotion and bath rubber toys.
7. For the trunk, you can fill it with babies keepsake book, monogrammed items, receiving blankets, heirloom items, a picture frame and an inspirational book all about mom and baby. You can also place a little inspirational note containing all your wishes for the baby. This will add a more personal touch to your gift.
8. For the laundry basket, you can fill it with cute slippers, diapers, baby comb and brush, booties, and baby clothes. For a new baby, the need for creative baby shower gifts comes down to what does mom and baby need over the next few months.
