Baby shower gifts

December 14, 2009 by  

People ask all the time “What are some good baby shower gifts?” Here’s the top 10 great baby shower gifts I’ve found this year:

Hair bows -

Obviously only for baby girls, but these make GREAT baby shower gifts. What better way to accessorize a baby girl than with some customized hair bows. There are many places to find these….on etsy and on the internet.

Blankets -

Swaddling is a great way for babies to sleep. What better gift than to give the mom-to-be a great blanket to swaddle their baby! We all need more sleep! Swaddling is the way to go!

Wood blocks

I love the idea of giving personalized wood blocks for a baby shower gift. I have seen many different sets available from $10 to $100. Many of these sets can be customized to meet your needs. Check out etsy.com and their great selection!

Personalized onsies -

Personalized onsies are an awesome baby shower gift. What better way to say “I love you” than a personalized shirt or onsie that their baby can wear day to day?

Toys

From teddy bears to glow worms, toys are a great baby shower gift. Especially for those new moms that aren’t sure what to buy for their new baby. Get that new baby something special – homemade baby shower gifts are great for this category as well! I absolutely LOVE getting homemade baby shower gifts!!!

Baby leg warmers -

OMG I love baby leg warmers. Honestly, I dress my baby with leg warmers almost every single day. These can be found as cheap as $1.99 at Target – or you can get a little more fancy with some “Baby Legs”! LOVE THEM!!!!!! BOYS OR GIRLS!!! The best part – they generally fit newborns to toddlers.

Hats -

Of course, where I live, it is cold 7 months out of the year – so any hand-made hat is an awesome gift! Many hats you find can be custom made with add-on flower clips, bows, etc.

Burp cloths

Doesn’t any mom LOVE a burp cloth? We all need them from time-to-time!

And FINALLY –

Men’s Baby Shower Gifts for Daddy

Men’s baby shower gifts aren’t really that difficult if you know the husband. If you don’t, ask what his hobbies are and you’ll have a great start on baby shower gifts for daddy. If it were my husband, it’d have to be hunting or fishing, but of course, every man is different.
