The leading problem can be to choose which of the gifts most required by the new parents that you can provide. One way to get more expensive or better quality gifts is to have several people or couples "chip in" together and pay for one chief gift. This is an extremely helpful way for parents without previous children to get some of the larger crucial nursery items like cribs, dressers, changing tables, etc.
If the new parents already have their nursery setup, then the task of choosing your gift is rather easier, but can be just as tricky for those new to the baby shower game.
1. Diapers are one of the most popular gifts for new parents. After all, who wants to run out of diapers at 2 am? No one, of course. One way to achieve this type of practicality is to purchase a diaper cake. A diaper cake is chiefly made from diapers – either disposable or organic – with small versions of baby products, toys and clothing items used as decorations. All these "ingredients" are crafted into a stunning gift that very much resembles an actual cake. It is one way to stock the nursery and still give a stunning gift at the same time.
2. Baby Gift Baskets are another affordable way to give multiple gifts and help the new parents to stock up on baby supplies, wipes, diapers, keepsakes and clothing items. Now there are many matching diaper cake and gift baskets themes so that you can give the gifts to match either the decorations chosen for the baby shower or the room décor of the nursery.
3. Personalized baby items, such as blankets or onesies, also make fabulous gifts – if you know the name of the new baby-to-be. When baby outgrows the gift, it will then become a charming keepsake for mom to pass down through the family.
4. Every baby needs a favorite stuffed animal to go to sleep with. There are so many to choose from and almost all of them are hypo-allergenic. You can't go wrong with an sweet stuffed teddy bear or other stuffed animal. It will give years of enjoyment for the new baby.
5. Baby clothes are also a logical gift. Be aware of the time of year the baby is expected in. Remember in the summer when it is so very hot, most babies are only wearing onesies, diapers and hats. So don't go overboard on the expensive dresses and playsuits. If the baby is expected in the winter months, then a little more attention to clothing is usual, but again as babies grow so quickly don't go overboard on clothing that she/he will possibly only get to wear once or twice.
6. Keepsakes make fabulous gifts. Special rattles, cute nightlights, brush, mirror and comb sets, music boxes, picture frames, all are endearing little gifts for the new baby. If they can be personalized with the new baby's name, all the better.
7. Crib toys are another fabulous gift idea. Babies like stuff that moves and make sounds. For the crib the sounds should be relaxing and less strident than non-crib type toys. No one wants baby awakened during night by accidentally bumping or rolling over on a noisy toy. Mobiles are fabulous too. In the baby’s early years the basic colors are best – blue, red and yellow. Just select a theme to compliment the nursery décor and you will be a hit.
Any of these gift ideas will make your offering very special indeed. Remember, if you want to give a larger gift basket or chip in on nursery furniture or larger items; be sure to let the baby shower hostess know. That way she can let others who wish to join forces know who to get in touch with.
