3 Unique Baby Shower Gift Ideas

Attending a baby shower is a great way to celebrate the joy of a new life. However, trying to find the right gift can be a bit of a challenge. You want to purchase something the new parents will be able to use, but you also do not want your gift to get lost in the shuffle. If you're searching for a unique gift that will stand out from the crowd, consider one of these ideas.

Customized Gifts
There's nothing quite like a one of a kind customized gift. You can be sure that your gift will not be repeated, and the new parents will know that you care enough to order something special. If you are crafty, consider making a gift for the new baby. Crochet a blanket, decorate a picture frame or knit some adorable booties.

If crafting isn't your thing, there are plenty of companies who offer customized gifts for little ones. With a few clicks online, you can find everything from personalized wooden rocking chairs to onesies embroidered with the baby's name.

Something to Make Mom and Dad Smile
If you're having a hard time coming up with the perfect gift, spend a few moments considering the interests of the parents to be. If you know that Mom is crazy about daisies, a daisy decoration might be the perfect addition to her little girl's nursery. If Dad is a baseball fanatic, you can't go wrong with MLB baby clothes in his favorite team's colors. 

Unique Gift Cards
The parents to be will probably receive numerous gift cards to baby stores and large retailers, but you can surprise the parents by giving gift cards that will help them get back to a new normal after the baby arrives. For instance, cooking is very challenging with a newborn, so give a gift card to their favorite take-out restaurant or pizza delivery joint. 

New parents need to take time for themselves as a couple, so you can even create a date night gift by purchasing movie and restaurant gift cards. If your funds are limited, even a small gift card to an ice cream store is a welcome distraction.


Fortunately, you do not have to spend a lot of money to come up with the perfect baby shower gift. Instead, spend some time thinking about the couple's unique needs and interests, and you are sure to come up with an idea that will wow them at the baby shower!
