This may be the case if the expectant Mother hasn't got a gift list (it may be a surprise) or you may not be able to afford anything on the list (look at for our upcoming post on cost-effective gifts) or you may want to go the extra mile. Whatever the reason, you need ideas. So we've helpfully summarised the best baby shower gift ideas.
1. Something for Mum
Yes you read right, something for the Mum-to-be. people always seem to forget that Mum is an individual too and the Babyshower is the last party she has before the baby arrives, the last bit of fuss over her, soon it will be all about the newborn.
Why not something sweet for her like a Pamper set which you can be purchased for around £25-30 and it usually includes soft skincare products to cater to the delicate skin of expectant Mothers. In the above photo you have...
1. Lovely luxury pamper set from Notonthehighstreet.com which you can get here.
2. The 'Mummy and Me' set which you can get here.
3. Or you can get this from us here.
4. Throw in a something sweet like personalised chocolate also from Notonthehighstreet.com
2. Large Luxury Baby Hamper from John Lewis .
Comes with Silver-plated bear photo frame , Cream booties ,Cream hat and mittens set,Ceramic bear money bank, Bartholomew large bear toy and a Egg cup, mug and spoon Set. You can purchase this gift from here.
3. HALO Bassinest Swivel Sleeper Bassinet
So cool but it is pricey and Kiddicare are selling it for £199. However, you can always get together with other guests and purchase it as a joint gift.
This bad boy rotates and swivels 360 degrees to bring baby to you for close, safe sleep. The sidewall lowers so it's easy to stay in bed while tending to your baby, and can be locked if desired. You can purchase this product here.
3. Baby Delight Surround Snuggle Nest
Retails at about $50 which is reasonable, as it offers safety and security for newborns sleeping in parents bed. You can get it here. Free delivery too !
4. Photo album and/or Record Book
Allow the Mother to chart the most precious moments of her child's first few years. The record book above allows you to include information about 'baby's first smile' and 'baby's first photo'. Lovely keepsake item. This one cost £18.95 and is from Mama & Papas.
5. Bump Casting Kit
I'm so annoyed I didn't think of this when I was pregnant. I actually needed it too,since I had a warped sense of reality and thought my bump was smaller than it actually was. Use to be surprised when people actually asked me if I was pregnant lol.
Anyways you can get this for £29.99 from Everlasting Casting
6. Baby Casting Kits
Here are some of the baby casting kits that Everlasting Casting do also. Prices start from £27.99. I love the gold one in the middle. They also do free delivery on some of their items.
7. Cute Plush Toys
Soft toys are sweet idea and usually don't cost an arm and a leg. This is a good idea if your looking for something thoughtful but also don't want to break your bank balance. The above also comes with a 'blanky' and cost £17.50. Get it here.
8. Baby Bottle Starter Kit
You can never have enough bottles, fairly inexpensive. You get this one here.
9. Baby Bouncer
This is so cute and just right for a baby to relax in and be stimulated by the vibrations of the bouncer. You can get this one here.
10. Baby Carrier or Sling
Great and practical when Mum to bemay be decide she wants baby close to her when on the move. Baby carriers and slings range in price. There are some great ones here.
11. Pregnancy Cushion
As the expectant Mother nears the end of her pregnancy getting a good night's sleep seems like a myth as the baby puts excessive pressure on her body, particularly her back. This cushion will assist her in getting a goodnights sleep. Trust she will be so grateful for this gift.
*BONUS* can you also be used a nursing cushion too. Get this cushion here for only £13
