When it comes to baby showers, it's all about finding the perfect gift for that special little bundle of joy. Shopping for a gift can be tricky, and it's important to think about something that both the new mum and baby will love.  

Whether you're looking for a practical gift or something for the little ones to enjoy as they get older, this article will provide you with some great baby shower gift ideas. 

What To Buy For a Baby Shower Gift

The gift you buy for your loved ones and friends' baby showers is a way to show your love and support for the new family. These are our top gift choices for new parents while they wait for their baby to arrive. 

A Book

You cannot go wrong with the gift of early literacy. Reading to babies, even in the womb, gives them a great start to life. Whether you choose the board book version of Jess Racklyeft's Welcome Baby or introduce them to the Complete Adventures of Blinky Bill by Dorothy Wall, they will be loved for many years to come. 

A Comfort Blanket

A comfort blanket is a physical manifestation of love and security. It can be anything from an actual blanket to a stuffed animal, but its purpose is the same: to provide comfort in times of need. These beautifully crafted gifts for newborns are soft to the touch and are sure to go everywhere with little ones as they grow. 

A Baby Mirror

A baby mirror helps encourage the early motor skills of an infant's brain as they learn about who they are. A good baby mirror should be lightweight and easy to clean, so parents don't have to worry about maintaining or accidentally damaging it. Some mirrors come with straps to easily be attached to cribs and car seats for extra convenience. 

Something for Mamma

You cannot go wrong with gifting the mum something she can pamper herself with after giving birth. Postpartum bath salts, lactation biscuits or tea, or an eye pillow are perfect for mum to enjoy a little self-care in between the busyness of being a new parent. 

Meal Time Accessories

Although it will be a little time before they get used, gifting mealtime accessories is an excellent way to help the family get prepared for when the baby starts solid foods. Bibs, segmented plates, bowls, and sipper cups are all essentials for baby mealtimes and are a great starter kit to gift at any baby shower.

Organic Muslin Blankets

Investing in good quality organic muslin blankets and wraps is great for sustainability and comfort. These cozy, lightweight blankets have become popular among people looking to care for their environment while considering the quality of the material against a newborn's skin. These breathable muslin blankets are stylish and nature-friendly, providing superior warmth for babies.
