Help! My friend/family member/work colleague is having a baby shower, what baby shower gifts should I buy??
Firstly, Don’t panic! Bubs In Arms Gift Boxes have some great baby gifts, pampering mum gifts, baby gift boxes and baby nappy cakes.
A baby shower can be a daunting experience if it is your first time and especially if you aren’t a parent or haven’t had babies involved in your life before. Most likely, you want to buy a gift that will be practical and essential for the newborn baby, but at the same time you’d like to buy a baby gift that is fun and fashionable. Are we right?? So where do you start?
Baby Nappy Cakes
One popular baby shower gift is called a baby nappy cake. A baby nappy cake is made from nappies and other essential baby items and products to form the shape of a beautiful round or square cake. Baby nappy cakes can be big or small, single layer or multiple layers. The bigger the cake you require; the more baby gifts that can be added to “ice the cake”.
Our baby nappy cakes are made from newborn nappies, baby wraps, baby socks (packaged to form a flower shape on top of the cake) and adoring butterfly clips. We top off our baby nappy cake with a rattle or soft plush toy to engage the baby with new sight, sound and touch delights.
Often one or more of our baby gift box extras can be added to the baby nappy cake to give the cake extra fullness. A baby singlet and baby body suit, for example, are perfect baby gift extras. Likewise an additional pair of socks (ie, additional flowers for the top of the cake!) or face washers will never go astray.
Best of all; your baby nappy cake gift is likely to be the talk of the baby shower. Mum to be will appreciate the baby gift of practical baby items that will be put to use straight away … and … you get to purchase a unique baby gift that can be a stunning display, the envy of everyone!
Pampering Baby Gift Boxes
Another popular and well received idea for baby shower gifts is that of a gift box filled with pampering skin care for the new baby, mum or baby and mum together.
We all know that newborn nappies are expensive and are required constantly! Although nappies are often thought of as a baby gift, people tend to forget the baby wipes! Our essentials baby gift box includes nappies, wipes, baby powder to soothe babies bottom, baby lotion, baby shampoo and a baby face washer to keep the soap out of their eyes. These essential items make great baby shower gifts, everything is packaged in the one box.
Watch out for our range of organic skin care for mum and baby. For environmentally savvy parents an organic baby gift would be a perfect baby shower gift idea.
Although mum is the focus during this joyous period, she is sometimes forgotten. What!? did I hear you say. Well yes, sometimes mum is partially forgotten in the sense that everyone around her asks about “the baby”. Mum deserves to have some special pampering time to herself to relax, unwind, think about her experience and get rejuvenated for the following day! Instead of focusing on the baby for a baby shower gift, why not focus on the mum to be. Soothing hand, face or foot creams, body scrubs, soaps, bath bombs etc, she will love these beautiful baby shower gifts.
Baby Gift Box (Baby Baskets, Baby Hampers)
Traditionally, a baby gift basket or baby hamper has been purchased to give to the ‘to be parents” at baby shower gatherings. Often this is presented in an old fashioned, out dated style cane basket with cellophane.
At Bubs In Arms Gift Boxes will provide quality gift boxes presented in a colourful gift box with a delightful assortment of quality bows, organza ribbon and gift tags. We also hand write each and every message gift tag as a simple and special touch. We don’t give daggy baby gift baskets! Baby shower gifts are designed to make people feel great when they receive their gift and even better when they look inside. A baby gift box from us will certainly do that.
We can fill your baby gift box with soft plush toys that the newborn baby can actively play with day to day or that can be kept in the babies room on display as a lasting keepsake. We also fill our gift boxes, baby baskets, baby hampers with stylish but practical baby clothing (baby singlets, baby body suits, baby socks, baby bibs etc) items.
As any parent will tell you, you can never have enough of these items are the ready. As a baby shower gift idea, a baby gift box hits the spot.
Consider a Gift Card
If you are really stumped to know what to purchase for baby shower gifts, then you can always purchase a gift card from Bubs In Arms Gift Boxes. At first this may seem like the “easy” way out of purchasing a baby gift, but in reality this can be the perfect baby gift for busy parents to be in the lead up to the birth. Consideration of a gift card as a baby shower gift is also helpful if you are unsure of the sex of the baby. By purchasing a baby gift card the recipient can browse at their leisure to purchase a baby gift prior to the birth. Or they can use the baby gift card to purchase items quickly after the birth, knowing that their baby gift will arrive swiftly without them having to leave the house!
A baby shower is a happy occasion and celebration where friends, family and work colleagues give baby gifts and gifts to the parents to be to show their feelings of love and well wishes. We love to gift baby shower gifts that are fashionable, fund, pampering and practical all in one box.
