When you’re invited to a baby shower, it’s an honor to celebrate an upcoming birth. However, it can be challenging to find the right shower gift, especially if you don’t know the mother-to-be very well.
If you need some help finding the perfect baby shower gift, keep the following tips in mind.
Check the Registry
Taking a peek at the gift registry is one of the easiest ways to find a gift that will be needed and appreciated. If no registry information is included in your invitation, ask the shower hosts for further details.
Even if you don’t choose to buy a gift off the registry, it can give you ideas regarding the types of items the new parents want. You can even get clues regarding the nursery theme and color scheme from the registry.
Make It Personal
If you want to make your gift truly stand out from the crowd, consider giving a one of a kind present. Homemade gifts, such as a custom blanket or knitted hat, are welcomed since they show you put time and effort into the present.
Personalized baby gifts are another great option. Many parents-to-be name their babies well before their arrival. They’re sure to love receiving a shirt, receiving blanket, beanie or other item that’s been personalized with their baby’s name.
There is a huge variety of personalized gifts available. If you don’t want to put the baby’s full name on an item, just using her initials can add a special touch.
You can find personalized baby gifts online at MyChronicleBooks.
Wow! It's nice to learn these things from you. I've been in countless baby showers and of course, I brought the mom-to-be a gift that she will like. As a parent, I know what items should I purchase and I apply it when choosing a gift for my friend or loved ones. I prefer to give an out of the list gift (a gift that they usually don't think about) because I know that it will mean a lot to the expecting parents.
