Great Baby Shower Gifts, Regardless of Budget
Got a baby shower coming up? Whether you've been to one or a dozen, finding new baby shower gift ideas can be a challenge. You don't want to be generic, but you still want to give a gift that's practical. It's a fine line, but we've got some solid suggestions to help you sort through the baby shower madness! The best part is that whether you're looking to scrimp or splurge, our ideas keep your creativity at the forefront, so you can give a gift that's totally unique.
Gifts on a Budget
Crochet a blanket. It costs less than $10, is a fun hobby, and totally keeps your lap warm while you make it (save on those heating bills!). Moms-to-be love this present because it's very heartfelt--you put time, effort, and love into the blanket, and every time Baby snuggles up in it, she'll appreciate it! And for those of you who are nervous about crocheting, take heart: baby blankets are a great baby shower gift idea because they're way smaller than regular blankets, so they're quick to make!
Cover the basics: cotton tees, onesies, socks, bibs, and swaddling blankets. While it's not a shower gift designed to thrill, Moms need these... by the gross! When she can put off doing the laundry one more day because of your thoughtful gift, your friend will be a happy mom! And because they're basics, these baby essentials are relatively affordable, even why you buy a bunch.Gifts to Splurge on
An at-home spa treatment for Mom. Load the shower guest of honor up with scented candles, luxuriant bubble baths, bath crystals, microdermabrasion kits, Egyptian cotton towels... Have with this one! For the ultimate gift, forgo the "at-home" and get the future mom a gift certificate for a luxury spa... with an offer to babysit, of course!
Try a diaper cake! You can have them personalized and filled with more than diapers. Have one of these baby shower favorites customized to include baby grooming products and toys (think pearly pink combs and squishy teddy bears). If you want a gift that will get noticed, (remember Charlotte York from Sex and the City running through the streets of Manhattan, vision obscured by a massive diaper cake?), this is it. Mom will enjoy the useful goodies and have a cute keepsake!
