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.

Most people show up for these events with presents for the child. Although this is not a bad thing, you can surprise the mother by getting a present for her. This can be a book or DVD to help get through this period. You may also book her a spa day after the baby is born. This will give her some time to spend on her own and relax.

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.

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.
