It can be difficult trying to make up your mind what to buy for a baby shower gift. In the end though it boils down into two categories: the practical gift or the sentimental gift
For my money practical wins out simply because it saves the new mum time and money. Money which she can ill afford at this stage in her life.
On the other hand those who buy sentimental gifts will tell you that they buy because it’s a gift that will last. Of course you can hedge your bets and go for win/win. Wrap up a lovely ‘baby’s first book.’ along with a packet of diapers and baby wipes.
It may be a bit on the steep side but if it really is a special gift you’re buying then why not go for a beautiful embroidered baby pillow and blanket.
Still not to sure, still want to make sure that you’re buying something she’ll need, then how about this. Shortly before baby is due pay a visit to the mum to be and ask to have a look at the nursery, keep your eyes and ears open and I’ll guarantee you’ll find something that mum hasn’t got.
Practical baby shower gifts might include baby garments, shoes, burping cloths (thick cloth diapers work really well for this), blankets, towels, baby care packages, diapers or pampers, baby wipes, baby sound monitor, baby mattress sheets, bibs, etc.
