The whole package
I find the best gifts are a group of needed items packaged together as a set. Making the gift more personal and well thought out. You can still search the soon-to-be-parent’s registry and find items they are needing and group things that would go together. I like to use a bigger item that you can package other smaller gifts inside of like the best baby shower ideas below. Make sure to unpackage all the items first so they open the gift like it’s an individualized giftset all ready to go.
1.Large bottle sanitizer with anti-colic bottles, slow flow nipples, Bottle brushes and MAM Night Pacifiers placed inside.
2.Diaper caddy with diapers, wipes, diaper rash cream, and hand sanitizer placed inside.
3.Baby bathtub with hypoallergenic body wash and lotion, hooded towels with matching washcloths, and Baby Healthcare and Grooming Kit placed inside.
4.Diaper bag with an assortment of baby clothes, burp cloths, and a breast-feeding cover placed inside.
5.Woven basket with stuffed animals that match the nursery’s theme, baby blanket, swaddle sleep sacks, and a sound machine placed inside.
6.Small hamper with (2 Pack) Reusable Pail Liner, 2 pack of crib sheets, 2 pack of crib mattress protectors, and drawer organizers placed inside.
7.Kitchen organizer or dish rack with silicone bibs, suction bowls, mini silicone baby cups, and Safety Baby Spoons placed inside.
Mommy and me (or daddy and me)
This section of the list is more fun and sentimental. Not so much about necessity. Not all gifts have to be serious though, right? No need for creating giftsets with these ideas. A gift bag or wrapping paper will work just fine.
8.Matching accessories from beanies to sun hats, or slippers and shoes. Gloves, socks, it could really be anything. Mommy and son can match. Daddy and daughter, or even the entire family. These Parent-Child Beanie Hats are just one example.
9.Mommy robes and baby swaddle sets are maybe the most adorable matching sets on this list. I found this Mommy Robe for Maternity and Baby Swaddle.
10.Mommy and me dresses are basically a must-have gift if your mommy-to-be is expecting a girl. I’m pretty sure women only have baby girls so that they can wear matching dresses.
11.Daddy and me sweatshirts can be actual matching sweatshirts in design or by pattern. You can also go one step further and have sweatshirts personalized with the family’s last name or a phrase that is sentimental to the family.
12.Matching family Pajamas for any occasion or if the baby is due near the holidays you can go full corny matching holiday pajamas. A gift that would work out right in time for newborn announcements or Christmas cards.
The underrated
Don’t let this next section of baby shower gift ideas put you off. These gift ideas are completely underrated. I promise you these gift ideas will be so appreciated. As a mom myself, I’d love any one of these gifts!
13.Gift cards! Gift cards! Gift cards! Do not for one second think that gift cards are not an amazing present for new parents. Even after the baby shower and completion of the registry. There will always be more baby products needed. It’s not just a cliche’ that babies are expensive!
14.After birth care package is such a thoughtful gift. Everything has already become all about the baby. However, giving birth is a tough experience for the mom and it takes time to heal. It is very kind to not forget about the mom. Frida Mom Hospital Packing Kit for Labor, Delivery, & Postpartum is an entire postpartum kit. Easy-peasy gift idea.
15.Meal kits for after the delivery and the newborn phase are lifesaving. There will be sleep deprivation at the beginning and the parents will have a hard time finding moments to even feed themselves. Meal kits can be homemade frozen ready meals, or they can be a subscription to companies like Meal Kit Delivery | HelloFresh.
16.Baby medicines like baby Tylenol or Mommy’s Bliss Newborn Essentials Gift Set, Includes Gripe Water, Baby Vitamin D / Gas Drops and Gentle Saline Drops/Spray is a wonderful gift that could be easily overlooked but very much appreciated.
