Baby Shower Gift Ideas

Easy and thoughtful ideas for the upcoming shower you’re dreading… I mean, excited for.

I get it, I am also not a huge fan of sitting in a circle, oohing and ahhing over gifts (looking at you bridal showers). I love the new trend of clear wrapping paper so guests can still get their credit but we can skip the antiquated tradition of watching the poor guest of honor struggle to hide her dislike of the ___ that wasn’t on her registry — (seriously, look this up if you haven’t heard of it, it’s genius imo).

But enough negativity – here is a mix of thoughtful and functional gifts that the mama to be will actually love.

Sophie the Giraffe – a classic. Seriously, everyone has this adorable teether (see baby Julia in all of her glory)

cuddle+kind plush – I picture one of these dolls in the monthly growth update photos that new moms take – they are just so darling! And, this company donates 10 meals per plush sold to children in need – a win win.

Barefoot Dreams blankie – a good baby blanket is an investment piece — always useful and can be passed down to the next little babe. If you don’t know of this brand, these are the softest blankets. Trust me on this one.

Hatch sound machine – the holy grail of multifunctional sound machines that can be controlled from your phone – she will be thanking you for years to come.

Baby Keepsake Box – a sweet spot to store all of the special first moments from the first sonogram to the first tooth (because what else do you do with that stuff?)

Dagne Dover diaper backpack – stylish and multifunctional this bag can clip onto your stroller or luggage and can be used post baby since it doesn’t look like a typical diaper bag.

 DockATot – park your baby wherever you need – swap out covers for new chic styles

Personalized puzzle – I love a present with a personal touch! This puzzle can act as a decoration until baby is old enough to play with it.
