They are usually full of love and joy and you get to look at lots of cute baby clothes. I also love to give baby shower gifts. I think it's a lot of fun to put together something special for every new little one.
Sometimes I go and pick out things from a gift registry that I think the mother will enjoy or something that has made my days as a mother easier or more interesting. Though my favorite thing to do is to make something for the new baby. Here are a couple of ideas for quick and easy gifts for mom and baby, regardless of the sex of the baby or the theme of the shower!
Gift Basket
I usually choose a large, hollow item to fill with little things. A diaper pail or an infant bath tub are inexpensive and work very nicely. If you're looking for something smaller, try a bathroom bucket/caddy. It's also great for carrying the baby's small bath items around.
You can stick with the bath theme and fill it with bath items. Here are some examples:
Soap
Lotion
Towels
Rubber Duck (with or without thermometer)
Wash cloths
Brush and Comb
Some people prefer the health and safety approach for this gift. Some ideas for that category include:
Thermometer
First Aid Kit
Electrical Plug Covers
Finger Nail Clippers
Emergency Aid Cards
Child Proofing Book
Door Locks
Diaper Cream
Infant Fever Reducer
I also have days where eceltic is my style. Here are some other gift items that go well in these types of gifts:
Diapers
Rattles
Onsies
Toys
Baby Books
Nursing Pads
Bottles
Bibs
You really don't have to spend very much on these gifts, most are a dollar or two each. You can also find some nice, but inexpensive baby toys at dollar stores everywhere, including bibs!
If you don't have a large hollow tub or bucket you can also do a fancy party bag. Some people choose to individually wrap each gift, while attractive it can take a long time. I always put tissue on the top and let mom sort through as quickly as she likes.
Diaper Cake
This item is for those who are a bit more talented, though with practice it shouldn't be too difficult! The results are a delighful looking "cake" made of diapers and toys.
Items you will need:
Diapers (large pack of disposables or 12 cloth)
Cardboard (Some choose to use a bottle of infant laundry soap.)
Small gifts (rattles, toys, teethers, brush, etc.)
Clear Tape or Rubber Bands
Ribbons
Cake "Topper" (Usually a small stuffed animal, can be left off.)
Directions: Use the cardboard or laundry soap as a base, wrap diapers around it to form a bottom cake "layer."
You can secure the diapers with tape or rubber bands. Start a second "layer" making it smaller than the first. You can do as many layers as you would like, I've only done two, but I have seen three done.
When you're done with that you can take your smaller items and tie them up with ribbon and tuck them into the layers of the diaper folds, making them appear as if they are a part of the cake. If you'd like secure a small stuffed animal on top of the cake as a topper.
This makes a great gift as well as a center piece for a shower. It was a lot of fun to do, but it took two people to make it look right.

FREE Newsletter. Sign Up Now! A baby shower is a happy time where friends and family give gifts and well-wishes to the parents-to-be. Baby gift registries are very popular today, and offer nice baby shower gift selections that are hand-picked by the new parents. If the parents don't have a gift registry, or you want to choose something on your own, this list can help. I received the following thoughtful, useful items as baby gifts for my daughter. When I am choosing a baby shower gift, these are the products I look for! 1) Baby Einstein Videos or DVDs From birth to toddlerhood, babies can enjoy the bright pictures and interesting sounds in the Baby Einstein videos series. You might not think that a young baby would watch a video, but the Baby Einstein company has found a way of making these movies interesting to babies as young as one month old. Many parents, myself included, consider these videos a must-have for entertaining baby when mom or dad needs time for other projects. Manufacturer's Site 2) Your Favorite Baby Story or Picture Books Do you remember the books you loved as a child? A selection of your own favorite books for babies is a personal and thoughtful gift. Experts say reading to babies is an important part of boosting their development. Help parents-to-be build their library by choosing books with bright, bold pictures, rhyming text and interactive features like counting and touching. 3) Over the Shoulder Baby Holder - Baby Sling Baby slings are quickly becoming a popular choice for new parents. These versatile baby carriers offer many carrying positions to suit a parent's style and a fussy baby's whims. From cradling a tiny newborn to holding a toddler on your hip, parents will find many uses for a sling. To say the least, being able to grocery shop and hold a fussy baby and still have hands to pick up items is a wonderful thing. 4) The Baby Book by Martha Sears and Dr. Sears This common-sense guide to baby parenting covers babies from birth to age two. From wearing baby in a sling to whether or not you're spoiling your child, parents can find useful information on almost any baby parenting topic. Stressed-out new parents may also appreciate the more relaxed parenting style promoted in this book. Manufacturer's Site 5) Luxury Baby Bath Products from Weleda Consumable baby products like bath soaps and lotions are always useful for new parents who may want to experiment with several varieties before settling on a favorite standard. Weleda natural baby products are made with soothing botanicals and delicate oils that turn a baby bath into a spa-like experience. Babies and parents alike will enjoy the wonderful scents of these products. Important product disclaimer information about this About site.
