Bubzi Co Handprint & Footprint Frame Kit Baby Shower Gift

Baby showers are a time for joyous celebration, welcoming a new life into the family or group of friends. While most baby showers are held before the baby is born, some are also held after the birth, giving guests the exciting chance to meet the newborn. No matter when the baby shower is held, however, one of the key aspects of the party is to give gifts to the new parents to help them with their new bundle of joy.

When buying baby shower gifts, start out by checking to see whether the parents have set up a registry. This will contain specific products that the parents need to raise their new little one, such as clothes, furniture, accessories, toys, and more. Often, the registry contains items within a range of prices, so there is something everyone can find within their budget. Be sure to also consider the baby’s gender if you know it. Some parents prefer to stick to the more traditional gendered colors of blues and greens for boys and pinks and reds for girls, though increasingly many parents are preferring to pick gender neutral colors such as yellows, oranges, greys and more.

When buying certain baby shower gifts, also consider the season, especially if the parents live in an area with a varied climate. For example, if you’re buying a bathing suit, consider how big the baby will be in the summer months when they can swim in a pool. If you’re buying a rain suit, consider what size the baby will need in the spring and fall months. Baby’s grow so quickly within the first few years of their lives that they outgrow clothes and other items within a few weeks or months.

• If the parents don’t have a baby registry or list of things they want, opt for something versatile and practical like a baby blanket. The ones that have a little stuffed animal attached to the corner are ideal for little ones because they won’t be able to lose their stuffy and can always have it nearby. This type of gift also grows with the baby, as they will likely play with the blankie toy for years to come.
• Another excellent practical gift is a noise maker or sound machine. Many babies are comforted by the types of sounds they heard in the womb, such as a heartbeat. A sound machine comes with different settings for these types of sounds, as well as lullabies and instrumental music. Sound machines are a great way to help overstimulated babies relax and fall asleep.
• Sometimes the most practical gifts are the ones most appreciated by overwhelmed parents. Consider getting a baby essentials kit which contains items such as diaper cream, fever reliever medication, upset tummy medication and other items. When their baby is not feeling well, the parents will be grateful to have such a gift they can use.
• Want to add a couple of small things to your baby shower gift? Board books are an amazing gift because they are read over and over again. Board books are made from sturdy material, so they are strong enough to withstand the rough usage. They will last for years and be loved by babies and parents alike.
