1. Educational
Gifts that help enhance and stimulate the mental faculties of a
newborn baby are always well received by the mother-to-be. There are
several multi media products, namely DVDs and tapes, that provide
useful instruction as well as exercises suitable for the first twelve
months of the newborn baby. In addition, any educational toys help in
the mental development of a newborn baby would also be well recieved.
Other popular gifts, for the mother-to-be, are products that provide
up-to-date nutritional information that the mother needs to feed her
baby for the first twelve months. These products also normally include
safety rules, shopping tips, recipe ideas, and prenatal suggestions.
2. Fun and Humorous
Fun gifts are intended to provide the mother-to-be with some light
relief after an otherwise tiring day. These gifts typically comprise
humorous prints, poems and samplers suitably framed.
Festive variations of the baby basket comprise a mixture of essential
items for the baby and items to pamper the mother to be. Typically
these festive baskets contain changing items and baby toys. For the
new mum colorful baby themed tissues, bubble bath, and her own box of
candies.
One unusual but fun gift is a photo montage. However, you would need
baby photos of the parents and grandparents. Just imagine a child
photocomposed of their parents and grandparents.
An old favorite is stuffed teddy bears. There is a wide range of teddy
bears available so one can pick a teddy bear that reflects the mother
to be interests or “current state” such as a pregnancy or mother teddy
bear.
Themed mini diaper cakes make great baby gifts, and are easy to
transport or ship to a gift recipient. Due to their compact size
themed mini cakes are an option to bring to the hospital after baby is
born. Typically diaper cakes contain disposable diapers, baby burp
cloth, baby pacifier clip, baby rattle, baby teether and baby lotion
A count down clock makes for a fun alternative gift. Just a glance and
parents-to- be will know how many days, hours, minutes, even seconds
remain until that projected date.
3. Personalized
Most standard baby shower gifts such as baby blankets, baby clothing
and some baby memorabilia can be personalized. If you are intending to
present the mother-to-be with a baby gift basket several outlets now
offer a personalization service where the items of the baby gift
basket are personalized to your requirements.
4. Practical
An absolutely essential and practical gift is a baby audio or audio
and video monitor that allows parents to keep a check on the baby from
other rooms.
An unusual present but one which will be gratefully received is a baby
travel bed. When selecting a baby travel bed make sure it has a thick,
inflatable mattress that cradles baby luxuriously, lifting the baby up
off cold floors and hard ground.
5. Sentimental
If you are looking for an unusual baby shower gift you could consider
a crystal gift. Crystal baby shower gifts come both as costume jewelry
for the mother to be as well as centre piece ornaments.
No doubt, the mother to be will receive a number of keepsake baby
shower gifts. So a decorated archival box for the storage and
preservation of baby and toddler keepsakes will make a great baby
shower gift. One such product is from Ever Forever Heirloom which
contains 18 products to assist in the preservation process.
