Gifts Ideas for Your Friend's Baby Shower

 

Choosing the perfect gift for a dear friend’s baby shower can be challenging. It’s not easy to find a gift that’s not only practical but perfectly expresses your happiness and love for their new baby as well.

 

While gift registries can be helpful, it’s always a nice gesture to get a soon-to-be mummy a little something different and unexpected. You want a gift that will all receive all those surprised “oohs” from the guests.

 

To help you out, here’s a list of the best baby shower gifts that any expecting woman will definitely love and appreciate!

 

 Pregnancy pillow

 

Any pregnant mum knows how difficult it is to find the perfect resting and sleeping position while you’re carrying a baby – which is why pregnancy pillows are really helpful.

 

Since back and side sleeping isn’t recommended for pregnant mums, pregnancy pillows can help them find a comfortable position that won’t put their health and their babies at risk.

 

These long, cosy pillows can fit around any pregnant woman’s body at any stage of their pregnancy, supporting their back, hips, and legs.

 

Using pregnancy pillows has been proven to be effective in reducing back and neck pain. As well as the pressure points on the joints. Trust us, your friend will be thankful for this gift.

 

Beddings

 

Although other guests would likely think of getting bedding, a new mum can never have too much bedding. You could get her bedding that can be used now or later on, during the toddler stage.

 

During the baby’s first year, they only need a fitted bottom sheet in their cots. It’s crucial that they use fitted bedding to reduce the risks of SIDS and suffocation, so don’t even bother looking at loose top sheets, blankets, and quilts.

 

Most baby cots follow standard sizing, so it’s pretty easy to know if the beddings are of the right size.

 

Maternity clothes

 

Pregnant mums outgrow their clothes much faster than we think. Most of them don’t even have proper maternity clothes, so giving them comfortable clothes meant for pregnancy is a great gesture.

 

We recommend giving your friend lots of maternity pants since it’s extremely difficult to find the perfect pair of pants that fit a pregnant woman. These are pants with stretchable waistbands that accommodate their growing bellies.

 

As their feet start to swell up in their last trimester, fitting into their pre-pregnancy shoes would become a struggle as well. Surprise her with a pair of cosy shoes and compression socks so it’s easier for her to walk around.

 

Maternity clothes may be the most practical baby shower gift because mum can still wear them for a little while after giving birth

 

 Diaper bag

 

If the soon-to-be-mum is a close friend, then you may know her lifestyle enough to determine whether she would need a diaper bag or not. It’s most likely that any mum would, though!

 

Look for a diaper bag that’s spacious and comes with easy-to-access compartments. Go for something classic and durable because your friend will be hauling it around everywhere for a couple of years.

 

It should have enough space to hold extra diapers, a change of clothes, a changing pad, toys, wipes, pacifiers, finger food, and other essential items.

 

The thing about diaper bags is that they aren’t exactly stylish bags, which could be a problem for chic and fashionable mums.

 

Lastly, the best thing about diaper bags is that they help mums feel empowered to go out into the world with their babies knowing that they’re prepared for whatever may happen.
