Best Baby Shower Gifts:

1. Memory Book
2. Milestone Cards
3. Pamper Package
4. Toys for Baby

1. Memory Book

Looking for something simple, sentimental, and sure to be enjoyed for many years? A baby book makes a gorgeous gift for a mother-to-be! In these books, parents can jot down their baby’s milestones, write any thoughts or memories and even add pictures. This gift is definitely a keepsake item, as parents will enjoy looking back on it, and so will the baby once he or she is grown. You can find specially designed memory books online or in stores, or you can just buy a blank journal or scrapbook with a design that you know the mother will like.

2. Milestone Cards

Another great baby shower gift is a set of milestone cards. These cards have become an increasingly popular way to capture a baby’s first year. You’ve probably seen them in pictures on social media—each month, parents place a new card next to their baby and snap a picture to mark the month. It’s great fun for parents (and other family members) to look back, reflect and notice how their baby has changed from photo to photo. You can buy pre-made milestone cards online, or you can search for online tutorials and make your own, like this lovely set!

3. Pamper Package

While most baby shower guests give gifts intended for the new baby, some people prefer to find something special for the mother-to-be. A pamper package makes a brilliant gift for an expectant mother! Fill a basket or hamper with pregnancy-safe spa items that will help her relax in the lead-up to the birth of her baby: bubble bath, bath bombs, sheet masks, hand cream, decaffeinated herbal tea bags… You might even pop a few cheeky chocolates or other treats in there! Ahhh…
