Guidelines For Choosing Unique Baby Shower Gift Ideas

By Debra Cook


Buying gifts can either be a fun activity or an exasperating task, depending on how you approach it. You might find yourself walking into a dozen shops, and still not finding something you like. To avoid giving the same boring presents all the time, you should do some research to come up with unique baby shower gift ideas. Here are some helpful pointers to make this process simpler.

Before you tire yourself looking for the present, you need to be sure that there is an actual baby shower. Discreetly ask her family members and the close friends, in order to know where things stand. The party registry is a good place to look for ideas for what to buy. In case there are no plans for a party, you can pull some people together and surprise the mother to be.

Thinking of something unique can involve getting something for the mum, instead of just the child. This will make the day more about her and will help her feel appreciated. You could get her, her favorite bottle of wine to drink after the child is born, or book for her a day at the salon. If the party is for both parents, book for them a romantic getaway, even if it is only for a night.

Children tend to grow very quickly especially in the first few years. With this in mind, try to buy something that they can use for a long time. In most cases, you will find that the parents have a lot of clothes and toys for the first few months, but not beyond that. You can also get something which can be used again. This will come in handy if they plan to get more than one child.

Children are born during any season of the year. There is, therefore, an appropriate gift for all seasons, from winter to spring. If you plan to shop in relation to the seasons, you may even choose to get them a set of four outfits. This should be appropriately selected to be warm enough during winter and airy enough for summer. They should also be bought in different sizes, to account for the fact that the child will be continuously growing.

If you are good with your hands, you can choose to make the present instead of buying it. This can be anything from the baby pillows, to picture frames, or even the crib. This will not only allow you to save money, but also to give the item a personal touch.

Gift baskets are also another way to get something out of the ordinary. With this basket, you have the option of putting in many different items. This will come in handy for someone who is undecided on what to buy. It is better if you put the basket together yourself. You should start shopping for these items even a month before the shower, giving you enough time to fill it up.

Sometimes, even if you have the will to buy something, your financial situation might restrict you. Get together with other friends and chip in the money, for the item. This will allow you to get something of high quality, or even to buy more things than if you tried doing it alone.
