Coming Up With Unique Baby Shower Gift Ideas: Helpful Tips And
Advice
Coming up with a great (and unique!) baby shower gift idea can
seem like a difficult task. Any guest would like to give a gift
that can be useful to the baby or the parents. Nobody would like
to have his or her gift stashed in a closet or to given away to
charity without being used first by the recipient.
Therefore, one has to make sure that he or she has chosen the
baby shower gift properly so it will not be wasted. As much as
possible, never select a baby shower gift that the parents may
already have. Sometimes, the baby shower invitation says what
the parents would like to receive.
If it is not on the invitation, you can also call the mom to ask
what she would like to receive or what else she would need.
At times when the parents seem to have prepared well for the
baby, you can select unique baby shower gifts that would serve
as decorative items and remembrance.
Here are some unique baby shower gift suggestions.
* Birth Announcement Plates
These are decorative plates that come in pastel colors and
different designs. These can also be personalized with the
baby's name. Some companies also offer printing the baby's
picture on the plates.
The plates may be used to contain food. However, many chooses to
have these plates displayed somewhere in the house.
* Personalized Ornaments
These ornaments are made from ceramic tiles that can be
displayed on cabinet or shelves. These can be personalized to
contain the baby's name or picture. You may also give a poem to
the engraving company so it will be included in the ornament.
* Personalized Baby Blankets
These blankets come in pastel colors with different designs.
These can be personalized to include the baby's name. Before
deciding to give one, make sure that the parents hadn't bought
or will not be receiving several blankets during the baby shower
party.
* Pillows
Pillows can also be personalized with the baby's name. These
come in several colors and designs.
* Personalized Name Frame
If the baby's name was already chosen, you can choose a
personalized name frame. This will contain the baby's name with
it's meaning, usually the biblical or historic association of
the name. It may also have a poem dedicating the gift to the
baby or wishing the baby and the parents well.
* Piggy Bank
The parents can start the baby's savings with a personalized
piggy bank. The parents may drop coins each day after the baby
is born. When the child is older, he or she can continue saving
money with this decorative piggy bank.
* Baby Naming Book
If the parents still hadn't decided what name to give to the
baby or if they are not yet sure of the baby's gender, the
baby-naming book is a great gift for the baby shower. The book
contains name selections from the bible and historical figures.
The meanings of the names are also given as well as the
variations and origins in different countries and cultures.
* Music CD
Music has been proven to enhance the creativity and eliminate
stress. For babies, music can help them have quality sleep and
boost their creativity and intelligence. This is a perfect gift
for the baby and the parents.
Regardless of the gift that you have chosen, always include a
card to express your thoughts and your joys in sharing the
celebration with the baby' parents.
