Make Someone Smile With Unusual Baby Shower Gifts

By Doris Rivas


The time has finally come and everyone is brimming with excitement over the brand new baby on the way. This usually signifies one of the happiest and most memorable moments in a mother's life. Friends and family make this experience so much more special, and so do unusual baby shower gifts.

Women have been throwing showers for their friends, sisters, cousins and so on for many years. It is a chance to mix with the girlfriends, unwind and be showered with lovely presents for the mum to be and her unborn child. But for those doing the showering, choosing a gift can be difficult.

There is high probability that some ideas will be duplicated as most people think of the obvious things like nappy bags, booties or bibs. There is tremendous pressure to find just the right present and something that is different to the rest. While practical items are always nice to give, it makes it more special to present something that has meaning or sentimental value behind it. It does not even have to be expensive.

Most people would think of clothes first. Little rompers, vests or dresses make adorable presents for a shower. If you go with this option, you can still make it unusual by shopping at a baby boutique that sells exclusive designs. Look out for hand made garments or vintage looking embroidery and laces.

At some stage the new baby will be in need of a soft pair of shoes. As he or she begins to walk, soft comfortable shoes become essential and parents often do not have this prepared because they do not expect that the time will come so soon. This is a nice idea for an unusual gift.

This next item is something that any mother will thank you for, if not now then in the future. Every newborn goes through nappy rash. Some have it once or twice, but many get it quite bad and quite frequently as well. This is due to the moisture in the nappy area. So what would make a better gift than an abundant supply of ointment. Get a really good nappy rash ointment or even a little hamper with lots of different nappy rash products for the mum to try out. A good ingredient in all effective such creams is Zinc so look out for this in the products you buy. It is a very handy gift and she will thank you for it when she can save on having to buy it later.

Remember the mums to be. Think of items that the new mummy will need after the baby is born. She may need a mood lifter and a bit of pampering. Something she may not expect is a bottle of chocolate flavored body butter. The new mum and dad may need some help getting back into the swing of things after baby arrives. This should remind them to have some fun once again as a couple.

As much as the new arrival needs pampering, the new mother will too. Remember that she has gone through a long hard period of pregnancy and will experience more pain with labor. She will be tired and emotionally drained after the birth. A bottle of body butter will not be something that she will expect at a baby shower. It will help the new mum and dad to remember that they can still have fun together as a couple. With these pointers finding unusual baby shower gifts can now be a fun shopping experience.
