Make Someone Smile With Unusual Baby Shower Gifts

By Doris Rivas


The new baby is finally on its way and everyone is eager and excited. It is probably the happiest time in any mother's life. To eagerly await the arrival of your little boy or girl can only be the most special experience. The people around you and unusual baby shower gifts are what makes it even more special and important.

Unfortunately, for those bearing gifts at the party, choosing the right one can be a daunting task. Each year there are new developments and improvements in products on the market. This is why it has to be done with care.

One of the first things that most people go for when choosing infant shower gifts are clothes. Infant clothing can be truly adorable, each outfit so small and cute. If you decide to buy clothes, shop at an exclusive boutique rather than a regular retail store. This way the dress or romper you pick will be unusual and have that something special about it. Look for pretty embroidery designs for girls and soft blues or browns for boys.

Many new parents do not think about how soon their child will begin to walk. So a soft pair of shoes makes for a thoughtful gift. Little feet are still developing therefore soft shoes are better to help mould the foot and strengthen it at the same time.

For something that is both functional and out of the ordinary, a pair of soft shoes is a nice gift idea. Many parents do not invest in these until much later, so you could get ahead of them by buying a cute pair of soft walking shoes for the baby's first steps. They will go a long way and it is a gift unlikely to be duplicated.

One idea for a sentimental and meaningful present is something that has been passed down generations in your family. Old memorabilia such as rattles, cots, blankets or dresses and other items can make lovely gifts for this occasion. It is a lovely way to keep the family spirit alive and really add meaning to the event. If you don't have any traditions, make this the opportunity to start your own.

This next idea is something that any mother will appreciate, though it may not be so glamorous. A nice big hamper of diaper rash cream will go a long way and be very useful. All newborn babies experience nappy rash either on a small scale or more seriously. Look out for products with zinc oxide as it helps to heal the skin. It is a practical yet often not thought about gift for a shower.

These useful tips should assist you in finding some beautiful though unusual baby shower gifts. Think out of the box, think about mum's needs as well as baby's needs and choose with your heart. Make it a really special moment with precious thoughts in mind.
