Guidelines For Choosing Unique Baby Shower Gift Ideas

By Debra Cook


Buying gifts can either be a fun activity or an exasperating task, depending on how you approach it. You might find yourself walking into a dozen shops, and still not finding something you like. To avoid giving the same boring presents all the time, you should do some research to come up with unique baby shower gift ideas. Here are some helpful pointers to make this process simpler.

Before you tire yourself looking for the present, you need to be sure that there is an actual baby shower. Discreetly ask her family members and the close friends, in order to know where things stand. The party registry is a good place to look for ideas for what to buy. In case there are no plans for a party, you can pull some people together and surprise the mother to be.

Thinking of something unique can involve getting something for the mum, instead of just the child. This will make the day more about her and will help her feel appreciated. You could get her, her favorite bottle of wine to drink after the child is born, or book for her a day at the salon. If the party is for both parents, book for them a romantic getaway, even if it is only for a night.

Babies are known for outgrowing their cribs, clothes, food preferences, and even toys very quickly. You should, therefore, opt for something that will be useful for a longer time. Consider something like a baby book, where the parents can chronicle their parenting journey, or even an adjustable high chair. You are also allowed to buy the child something, even if they will not use it for some years.

Try to make your present coincide with the season in which the child will be born. This can be blankets for babies born in cold weather and light, airy clothes for those born in warmer times. Although most parents will not focus on the color of the gift, stay away from the traditional pink for girls and blue for boys. This way, you avoid making mistakes.

If you are good with your hands, you can choose to make the present instead of buying it. This can be anything from the baby pillows, to picture frames, or even the crib. This will not only allow you to save money, but also to give the item a personal touch.

Gift baskets are also another way to get something out of the ordinary. With this basket, you have the option of putting in many different items. This will come in handy for someone who is undecided on what to buy. It is better if you put the basket together yourself. You should start shopping for these items even a month before the shower, giving you enough time to fill it up.

Sometimes, even if you have the will to buy something, your financial situation might restrict you. Get together with other friends and chip in the money, for the item. This will allow you to get something of high quality, or even to buy more things than if you tried doing it alone.
