Baby Shower Gift - The Best Chic And Practical Ideas

The baby shower intended to bathe the expectant mother in gifts is an increasingly popular practice in several countries around the world. You probably have a girlfriend or loved one who hosted an event like this or, if you're a mom, you've already had your own party with all the baby shower games, gifts and decorations that come with it. But if this is your first time among the guests, you may be wondering which baby shower gift to choose in order to make a good impression without breaking the bank in the process… So here are our ideas on it!

What gift for a baby shower?

If no baby shower gift idea comes to mind at the moment, you are probably thinking that there is a whole universe of baby items that are perfectly suited for the occasion. In fact, due to their multiple specific requirements, the majority of expectant parents like to choose the items themselves, which greatly limits your options and makes your job more difficult.

It is better to find out in advance what mom and dad need and what their own criteria are. As logic goes, knowing the sex of the baby is just as beneficial. Ideally, future parents would have written a list of baby shower gifts for girls or boys for you to consult afterwards. Otherwise, the perfect baby shower gift would be something practical and original but chic and shocking too.

A good mom baby shower gift, for example, would be a family photoshoot or a spa / beauty day. Precious memories like bracelets to share, albums and personalized photo gifts are also welcome as long as your pregnant friend is a more or less romantic soul and therefore passionate about mementos of this kind.

Still, a baby shower mostly celebrates the unborn baby, doesn't it? So the right baby shower gift voucher should go to the little one about to be born and make it better.

Childcare equipment set

Assemble your own set of baby care equipment made from diapers, wet wipes, small accessories, quality paraben-free cosmetics and so on. The only conditions here are: knowing which cosmetic brand mom prefers and whether she wants to use disposable diapers or their washable eco-friendly analogue.

Bath time

Bath time can also give you plenty of baby shower gift ideas and you'll get a pun as a bonus. Don't worry, you don't necessarily have to step into the dangerous territory of shower gels, baby shampoos and diaper creams. A pair of baby towels (large and small), a hooded cape, a hairbrush, a pair of baby scissors and a bath thermometer can make a cute and practical set. Don't forget the adorable plastic duck which has become a classic bathtub toy!

If your budget allows it, you can even place all this material in a contemporary design baby bathtub and give it as a gift! Choosing a foldable model that doesn't take up space and is easy to transport is a great idea, especially if the happy couple like to travel in their spare time or don't have a lot of living space.

Original baby shower gift ideas

Keep in mind that the presentation of your baby shower gift is just as important as the gift itself, sometimes even more so. Add flowers, ribbons or surprising packaging to double the pleasant emotion and make your gift stand out against the background of the crowd.
