Appropriate Gifts for a Baby Shower



baby shower gifts

Having a baby is momentous occasion in the life of all involved; the mother, father and the baby. This is also significant in the society if the reaction by the community members at the birth of a child is anything to go by. It is a common thing for relatives, friends and colleagues to visit the new parents and their baby. One major thing that is common in most societies across the world is to shower the new family with gifts.

It is important to consider the sex of the baby because each gender has some gifts which would look odd on the other. If it is a boy, you want to have a gift box that is themed on what boys love or things that are associated with boys. A gift box themed on a popular computer game, cowboy characters, cuddly elephants or movie would work out well for him..

Newborn girls on the other hand require gifts that suit them. Considered cute and delicate, there are gift items for her that include lovely baby girl outfits, adorable baby shoes, soft toys and cotton blankets. There are also keepsake boxes that the little lady will treasure for the rest of her life. All these should come in the fitting colours; bright ones like pink for the baby girl will do. It is necessary to package them perfectly so that they can be presentable. A lovely gift basket to throw them in would work out well.

If the baby shower is for twins, then this is a different kettle of fish altogether. This means that everything you get should come in twos. If you decide to buy a teddy bear doll, then you must get another one keeping in mind the theme colours and gift items for both boys and girls. Baby shops today are teeming with customized baby shower gifts and your work is to pick the one that suits your budget and the age of the baby. Avoid presenting the items in one box or basket but look for customized ones for each kid.

There is also the neutral package that a new mother would be delighted to open. This is a package that would not consist items for a particular gender but those that can be used across the board. Some baby blankets, unisex clothes and soft toys would suffice in such a case. Again it is important to package them beautifully with ribbons and all.

The new mother should not be forgotten when it comes to baby shower presents. It shows her that she is valued and congratulated for bringing a life to earth. Appropriate gifts for her would include a stylish nappy bag. Granted this is an essential item that would come especially handy when she’s travelling with the baby. The dad also participated in bringing that life and therefore should be presented with suitable gifts as well. Men love practical things. A watch or belt would be a good bet any time.
