Finding Creative Baby Shower Gifts
With so many people bringing diapers, diaper bags, and baby tubs to baby showers, don't you wish that you could be certain that your gift would stand out from the rest? Finding creative baby shower gifts doesn't have to be a difficult process; all it takes is a bit of imagination and thought into what the expectant mother might really want or need. To be able to choose really creative baby shower gifts, you should first try to find out what else the new mother has already received. You can ask family members or her spouse to get a list of what she's already received, then fill in the gaps with creative baby shower gifts.
Gift Ideas
Some of the most creative baby shower gifts that we have come across were unlike anything you've ever seen at a shower before. Our personal favorite was the "diaper cake," a layer cake comprised entirely of disposable diapers. Each layer consisted of several diapers that had been wrapped into a circle, and then bound with ribbons. Atop the "cake" was a small stuffed bear in either blue or pink.
When choosing creative baby shower gifts, be sure that you choose something that can be reused by the mother; as opposed to something that will just take up space. Another great idea that we saw in our search for the most creative baby shower gifts, was a baby shower Christmas tree. This tree was set into the middle of the room and instead of decorated with ornaments, small baby items hung from the branches. Items like pacifiers, bottles filled with pink or blue jelly beans (for mom to enjoy, of course), and even small toys, made for wonderful decorations for this idea.
And don't forget about the new mother! What types of creative baby shower gifts can you think of for her and her alone? What about over-sized, plastic baby bottles found at any party and novelty store, filled with bath salts or aroma-therapeutic bubble bath? A special gift that's just for the expectant mother will be greatly appreciated, as many times expectant mothers feel like the new baby is all that matters to anyone, and that they themselves have ceased to matter. Even something as simple as a gorgeous silk bouquet can go a long way to boost mom's self-esteem.
As you can see, there's no limit to what type of ideas for creative baby shower gifts that you can create or find. Use your imagination, and we're sure you'll find something that every new mom will love!
