Guidelines For Choosing Unique Baby Shower Gift Ideas

By Debra Cook


A friend or family member could be expecting a child, and you do not know what kind of present to get them. Standard party etiquette will mean that even if you got the expectant mother something they do not like, they would not tell you. You can easily avoid this by thinking out of the box, and going for unique baby shower gift ideas. In order to do this, there are some guidelines which can help.

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.

These parties are regularly organized as a show of support to the new parents, whether before or after the child is born. You can, therefore, surprise them by getting them something for themselves. This can be something simple like a dinner reservation, or even a doula. What you get the parents should be in line with their new life, and also their personalities.

Babies are known for outgrowing their cribs, clothes, food preferences, and even toys very quickly. You should, therefore, opt for something that will be useful for a longer time. Consider something like a baby book, where the parents can chronicle their parenting journey, or even an adjustable high chair. You are also allowed to buy the child something, even if they will not use it for some years.

When going for this event, you will most likely know when the baby is due. You can, therefore, make sure you get a present that is in line with that season of the year. This can be warm fluffy clothes for winter or a sun hat for summer. In case you do not know the sex of the child, choose neutral colors like white or purple. This way, you avoid getting pink pajamas boy.

Handmade items always have a unique aspect about them. If you know your way around wood, glass, plastic, or even wool, design and make the present yourself. You can also opt for something custom made. This can be a woolly sweater or a rocking horse, for the child.

Sometimes, you might have absolutely no idea what to get someone. In situations like these, put together a gift basket. This will allow you to put in different things like baby oils, snacks, diapers, and even clothes. You could also choose to give the mum to be a prepaid voucher, allowing her to buy what she wants.

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.
