With the pregnancy bug constantly in the air, there is a very good chance that you will know someone who is already pregnant or is at least planning a baby. Pregnant women mean shopping, but finding that perfect gift can be a real headache. Here are the best five gifts you can get any expecting mother and guarantee that she will love and appreciate them. The baby shower gifts I list can be used for any occasion but will be a particular hit for a new mom.
1. Diapers, diapers and more diapers. That is quite a bland gift but a very much needed gift. I don’t any mom who will complain about having too many diapers with a newborn at home. To make diapers snazzy you have to dress it up a bit. You can find diaper cakes in lots of gift sites. Some come with as many as 150 diapers, plus booties, bibs and tons of other essentials for baby, but all in the shape of an all so cute cake.
2. Layettes, blankets, socks and burp cloths. Chances are they are going to get tons of these. However, these gifts tend to come in newborn or 3 months sizes which after a few weeks probably won’t serve its purpose anymore. Making this a great gift is if you buy them in larger sizes. After a few months, mom still has brand new gifts for the baby to enjoy.
3. Pamper products for Mom. The last few weeks of pregnancy are very uncomfortable and can be hard on Mom. Let Mom have the star treatment as well. Once the baby is born, Mom’s 15 minutes of fame are over.
4. Lightweight stroller and Baby Car seats are a necessity, and if you are the one who provies the gift – you will forever be remembered for your generosity. You can also get covers for the baby car seat to make cleaning them easier. They also look great and come in a range of colours!
5. Gift certificates. This is one of the best gifts you can get and although it may seem that no thought has gone into it, the opposite is in fact true because new parents often do not know what they need and so giving them the gift certificate for the baby shower is a very genuine way of letting them choose in their own time what is best for the new baby.
Tip: I recommend not buying clothes, and leaving this to the parents to do. Often the new parents to be will be given clothes from family and friends, besides, babies grow so quickly, chances are they will never get a chance to wear it.
