If you need to get a baby shower gift or gifts for your mom-to-be bestie or family member or a co-worker, you can either look into the baby registry if they were able to put together one. Usually though, first time moms or parents still don’t know what they need, so even if they have put together a registry, they might miss out an item or two that’s super essential.
I have put together a couple of gift ideas for baby shower picked by experts in parenting. You might want to consider some of these ideas. Whether you’re thinking of getting a baby boy or baby girl or gender neutral gift, these are some of the best baby shower gifts. These items are tested and vetted by experts and real families. They are proven safe, durable, and useful or helpful for both the baby and mom or parents-to-be.
1. Britax Willow Brook Travel System. This item won a “Good Housekeeping Parenting Award” because it was proven and tested for its ease of use. It can easily snap from car seat to stroller without having to un-buckle or re-buckle the baby.
2. Baby Björn Baby Bibs. This is something very useful for babies when they start eating solid foods. The bibs come in two packs with curved spill pocket to catch the mess and it can be thrown on the dishwasher too, which makes it easy to clean-up.
3. Vicks 3-in-1 Sleepy Time Humidifier. This item also won “Good Housekeeping Parenting Award.” It is a humidifier, night lamp, and essential oil diffuser all in one. It is also lightweight and compact which helps babies get a good sleep even when they have colds, and so mom or parents also get a good sleep.
4. Jellycat Personalized Puppy Soother. What is good about this playard is that it has the basics and keeping things light when you are on the go and traveling. It also have wheels making it super easy to move around.
5. Edushape Sensory Balls. This won the Good Housekeeping’s “Best Toy Award.” They can be used by babies in different ways. They can be used for baby’s exploring textures, grasping and shifting from hand-to-hand, and when they learn catching and throwing. The material is super safe and they are less inflated so it is easy to grip.
You need not worry that you might get the wrong gift/s, because you can never really go wrong when it’s from the heart. You can choose to go super pratical and buy stuff that are used everyday like diapers or baby bottles, or you can go for something fun like cute stuffs and adorable clothes and onesies. Or you can focus on the mom-to-be and get her something like self-pampering stuff which she use after child birth or a couple of adorable maternity dresses.
These are just 5 of the best picks for the best baby shower gifts choosen and vetted by experts. I will be sharing more best baby shower gift ideas in my next posts.
