“Sometimes, the smallest things take up the most room in your heart.”- Anonymous
Indeed, it’s true! Especially about newborn babies that are considered as the angel sent by God. Welcoming this Godly being with blessings and gifts is yet another way to praise God. And as the time is changing, the meaning of the baby shower is also changing. Earlier, gifts like baby clothing and dry-fruits for the baby’s mother were so much in demand. But now, with a change in living style and a market full of some amazing customised gifts, the baby-shower gifting range has also changed. So, we are here with a list of gifts for the baby shower that you can consider gifting.
- A Stroller- Mothers today like to take the newborn on walks in the park, which is good for the baby and mother. So, give a to-be mother or a new mother a baby stroller that is strong and smooth to roll. If you want, you can get the infant’s name written on the stroller fabric, to give it a personalised look.
- Baby Food Subscription- We all have grown up eating Cerelac in our initial days. So, a subscription of baby food for about a year or so can be one of the thoughtful gifts. This personal gesture would leave the new mother overwhelmed and would be very useful for her. If it is required, you can take a suggestion from a paediatrician.
- Personalised Photo Frame- Personalised photo frames can be another good pick as a gift for a baby shower. You can choose a picture of the pregnant mom, and make a collage of it with a recent picture (after delivery) with the baby. Get these two framed together in a wooden frame. For a more personal touch to it, you can get the baby’s birth date engraved on the frame.
- Baby Care Hamper- Babies are quite fragile in their initial days, and keeping them clean and tidy during these days is tough. So, you can go for natural baby care products that are not harmful to their skin. Before picking this gift, we would advise you to cross-check with the baby’s mother, if there is any particular brand she uses for her baby’s skincare.
- A Photoshoot- Well, practically this is not a gift, instead, a gesture, which you can do to make pre and post-pregnancy for both the parents, memorable. You can either organise the photoshoot on your own, with handmade props (take ideas online). Or you can always call professional photographers for the photoshoot. The pictures that come out after the photoshoot would help the new parents decorate the baby room.
All these gifts are meaningful and will leave a lasting impression on the receiver. Just make sure to make a choice wisely, especially if you are choosing a gift for the newborn.
