Baby showers can be a fun time for everyone: cake, party games, gender reveals, and all the fun things, But baby showers can also be stressful for the guest who has no idea what to gift the new parents. So, Let's talk strategy - First off, always check if the parents-to-be have a registry. Trust me, this will help you in making sure your gift hits the mark. And speaking from experience, the best baby shower gifts are often those that new parents have requested or recommended. If you’re looking for some inspiration, below are some of our picks for the best baby shower gifts and ideas for showering the parents-to-be.
Swaddle Blankets: Because who doesn't love a cozy, snugly baby burrito? These blankets are not just for swaddling; they double up as nursing covers and sunshades for those outdoor strolls.
Sleep Sacks: Sleep sacks are great! They keep baby snug and safe while eliminating the risk of loose blankets in the crib.
Baby Bottles: You can never go wrong with bottles, every baby needs them even if mom will breastfeed initially. Babylist has a bottle box so you contest out different types of bottles. I personally like Dr. Brown’s anti-colic bottles for my little.
Music: When creating a calming bedtime routine soft tunes are where it's at! Plus, studies show that music has lasting benefits for baby's development.
Stroller Organizer: Keep all those baby essentials within arm's reach with a handy stroller organizer. Super handy and essential when you're out and about.
Books: It's never too early to start building that home library. Plus, reading together is a beautiful bonding experience for parents and baby alike. I personally have a subscription with Literati for my little and he absolutely loves it!
Post-Partum & Self Care: Let's not forget about mom!(everybody seem to always forget us) A little self-care goes a long way in those early days, so offer a helping hand or a listening ear.
Tushbaby Hip Carrier: And last but certainly not least, my personal favorite – the Tushbaby hip carrier. Hassle-free carrying, goodbye to tired arms and back-aches!
So there you have it – my roundup of the best baby shower gifts for those new moms in your life. Remember, it's all about showing love, patience, and kindness during this exciting new chapter. Until next time, happy gifting and baby cuddling!
