Babies are such a wonderful new addition to a family. A baby shower is a fun time to give some fun and creative gifts for the new arrival.
Blankets are baby gifts that will last a long time. Handmade baby blankets with cuddly animals and critters are something that every nursery needs. Receiving blankets are also very welcome gifts. The store bought receiving blankets sometimes are a bit thin, homemade ones can be made a little heavier so that they baby can be kept warm when it is brought home. No matter if the blanket is handmade or store bought it will be a useful and attractive gift for any baby shower.
New moms have a lot of things to carry around when the new baby comes along. A diaper bag is a great baby shower gift. It is fun to fill the diaper bag with the things that mom will need for the new baby. Put in some disposable diapers, baby wipes, lotion, rash cream, baby bottle, diaper pads and other items that a new mom might use. Wrap the gift in a blanket and tie with a bow to make it an attractive baby shower gift.
A real fun shower gift is a Onesie bouquet. Get a wicker basket and then roll some Onesies up into rolls so that they look like flowers. Add some silk flowers to the bouquet and even some receiving blankets rolled up to look like flowers. This gift does not need to be wrapped, the gift itself is the packaging.
A baby book is something that most people do not think of getting. It makes a great baby shower gift. Or get a cute baby photo album or picture frame. There will be many pictures taken of the new baby so an album or picture frame will be a welcome gift.
If the sex of the baby is known the gifts can be for a boy or girl depending on which sex it is. If the sex is unknown blue still can be used for girls but neutral colors such as yellow and green are best for blankets and Onesies.
Onesies are something that every baby wears a lot of. A gift of Onesies and a pack of diapers is a great baby shower gift.
Just about any gift that is given at a baby shower will be appreciated and used by the new mom. Babies need a lot of clothes and other items so moms will be happy to get anything they are given.
