If you've been invited to a baby shower, you're probably wondering what gift to bring. It seems like such a high pressure decision, it can be difficult to decide what to get. But don't worry, we've got you covered. Here are some tips for choosing the perfect baby shower gift.
Tip #1: Get Something Practical from the Registry
First and foremost, think practical. New parents need a lot of things for their baby, so consider getting them something they will actually use. Diapers (check with the parents to see if they are using cloth or disposable), wipes, and onesies are all great options. If you want to get something a bit more substantial, consider a baby carrier, nursing pillow, or baby monitor. Always check to see if the parents have provided a registry, and use that as your guide. Items in the necessity category are often carefully considered and selected by the parents and they may have specific needs that you are not aware of.
Tip #2: Support Development with Toys
Another tip is to help support the baby's developmental needs. In the early months, babies need toys that promote sensory development or help with motor skills. Look for toys with bright colors, different textures, and different sounds. Check out our list of toys below for some eco-friendly toy ideas.
Tip #3 - Something for the Parents
Lastly, don't forget about the parents. They will appreciate a thoughtful gift just as much as the baby. Consider getting them a take out gift card or a memory book to document their little one's early days.
