If you are like me it seems like baby shower invites come in waves, and often you receive several all at once leaving you in a rush to purchase several gifts. While everyone loves to buy cute baby clothes and toys, having been a new mom we know that those items are always over bought! It is always my goal to get new moms a gift that is both useful and unique and today I am going to share with you my top five baby shower gifts that fit the bill!
Like it or not at some point every mother is going to be faced with a sick baby! It seems never fail to be the night when little ones fall ill, and having a kit with all of the basic needs already on hand can be a lifesaver. I usually like the get the kits that include basic medications, but you can also get a kit like the one below that has basic grooming and medical supplies if you are uncomfortable buying medications for someone else.
One of my favorite shower gifts to make is a bath-time gift basket, you can find a pre-made one (pay attention to mom's registry and see if she has indicated a bath product line she likes) or build your own with assorted bath-care items, towels and a bath toy in a cute, waterproof container.
Food Gift Cards
In my book I encourage expectant moms to prepare ahead of time for meals in those first few weeks after the baby is born by pre-stocking the freezer. I understand thought that not all new moms will or can do this, and it is always nice to have a break, so gift cards for a take-out style restaurant are always a hit!
This gift is the same idea as the one above, but it goes a step further. You can buy a gift subscription for a couple weeks of meal service for the new family so that mom does not have to worry about cooking at all!
Diaper Subscription
My final suggestion is a diaper subscription, this is a gift that will save the new family time and money! There are several options out there but check out the one below!
Whatever you choose to gift the new family I sure that they will love it and I hope these ideas help out!
