When it comes to celebrating the impending arrival of a new baby, baby showers are a time-honoured tradition. One of the most exciting aspects of a baby shower is the giving and receiving of gifts and whilst baby shower gifts are a way for friends and family to show their love and support for the expectant parents, its a great time to help them prepare for the new addition to their family.
Baby Shower Gift Ideas
When it comes to selecting a baby shower gift, there is a wide array of options to choose from, something practical to sentimental keepsakes.
Baby Clothing - Adorable onesies, sleepers, hats, and booties are always a hit at baby showers. Guests can choose from a variety of sizes and styles to suit the baby's needs. We sell a lot of neutral coloured clothes if they don't know what they're having!
Bibs - You can never have enough bibs! Perfect to keep a baby's clothes clean, minimise the need for frequent washing and catches those dribbles when teething. Our bibs have a soft backing so they won't irritate the skin when they get wet and are soft enough to wipe away a dribbly mouth.
Baby Books - Building a library for the baby with classic children's books is a thoughtful way to encourage a love for reading from an early age. We also sell black and white baby books that stimulate the development of the optic nerves. Focusing on such visual will stimulate a newborns' vision, teaching the eye muscles and brain to coordinate and function properly.
Parenting books are a great gift for a mum or dad to be; whether its something full of parenting humour or practical baby tips and advice, we're sure they'd be grateful for the advice.
Don't forget to consider the season; If the baby shower is held during a specific season, consider gifts that are appropriate for the time of year. For example, warm blankets and clothing for a winter baby or sun hats and swimwear for a summer baby.
Group gifting - Consider teaming up with other guests to purchase larger items or put together a bundle of beautiful gifts wrapped together. Group gifting allows guests to contribute to a more substantial gift that the parents may not be able to afford on their own.
Take a look at our Baby Shower gifting section and please let us know if we can help you with putting together a beautiful bundle, wrapped and sent to you in time for the party!
