Looking for a baby shower gift that will make you the hit of the party? Look no further! We’ve put together four themed gift ideas that mom-to-be will love that are based on the things that babies do best; eat, sleep, grow and learn.
EATING
If mom-to-be plans to breastfeed, make an elegant nursing cover the centerpiece of your gift and include a few breastfeeding necessities like nursing pads and lanolin ointment. Add pretty burp cloths, bibs, a baby food mill and a guide to feeding baby the first year and you’ll be good to go!
SLEEPING
Help get that new baby off to the right start with a gift guaranteed to result in some ZZZZs! Fill a gift bag with a sweet blankie, a pretty night light, a cozy swaddle blanket, a few pacifiers, a lullaby CD and, of course, the baby classic Goodnight Moon.
GROWING
It’s amazing how fast little ones grow. Help mom and dad keep track with a personalized growth chart they can mount in their child’s room. Keep with the growing theme by including outfits or shoes in increasing sizes. Be sure to consider the seasons when shopping for clothes and include shorts, hats, gloves and sunglasses. Mom will love imagining dressing her baby over the coming year.
LEARNING
When mom’s new baby isn’t eating, sleeping or growing, you can bet her little one will be learning. Give mom-to-be the tools to guide her little genius along by packing an old-fashioned lunch box with a book of baby signs, a Baby Einstein DVD and miniature books of colors, shapes, animals and numbers.
