What to Give at a Baby Shower? 15 Brilliant Gift Ideas

Gift Ideas for the Baby

• Soft baby clothes
  Bodysuits, pyjamas, and tiny socks in soft materials are always appreciated – ideally in slightly larger sizes for growing room.
• Blanket or comforter
  A soft blanket or personalised comforter can quickly become a favourite.
• Baby care kit
  A set with gentle baby oils, shampoo, and balm – preferably fragrance-free and organic.
• Dummy and dummy clip
  Cute silicone dummies and a handy matching clip.
• Baby toys
  Easy-to-grip toys that rattle or crinkle are great for little hands to explore.
• Personalised name print or poster
  A lovely nursery decoration, perhaps with the baby’s name, birth date, or star sign.
• My First Book
  A board book or storybook to start building the baby’s own little library.

Gift Ideas for the Mum-to-Be

• Luxurious body care for pregnancy
  A soothing stretch mark oil, a moisturising face mask, or calming bath salts.
• Pregnancy or nursing pillow
  Comfortable during pregnancy and useful later for breastfeeding.
• Comfortable clothing
  A nursing top, soft kimono, or cosy maternity leggings are always welcome.
• Massage or spa gift card
  A chance to relax and enjoy some me-time before or after birth.
• Personal jewellery
  For example, a necklace with the baby’s initial or a meaningful message.

Gifts for the Whole Family

• Photo album or baby memory book
  A place to document first steps, teeth, and favourite cuddly toys.
• Baby essentials
  Think nappies, wipes, or baby food – practical gifts that will definitely be used.
• Homemade freezer meals
  Maybe not the flashiest gift, but one of the most appreciated when the baby arrives.

Tip!

Wrap your gift nicely or place it in a pretty gift bag. For a personal touch, write a card to the mum-to-be – it makes for a lovely keepsake.
