There’s no greater reason to celebrate than the imminent arrival of a bouncing bundle of joy, and a baby shower is the perfect chance for mum-to-be to put her feet up, surround herself with love and soak up those last few fleeting moments of peace.
For a guest, the pressure to show up with the perfect gift is high, and the shops are fit to burst with baby essentials and mama must-haves. So we’ve picked our hit list to help you find a gift with staying power. Let’s take a look:
Classic
4-Piece Slogan/Printed Set, Prem-12 Months, £33
The most popular gift at a baby shower worldwide is clothing, so keep things simple with this 4 piece set in a cute print and neutral colour - it’s sure to get good use. It might be useful to opt for a bigger size, think 6-9 or 9-12 months, as new parents are often inundated with the tiny stuff!
Gender neutral
Garter Stitch Baby Cardigan, £14
If the parents-to-be are keeping their little one’s gender a surprise, you might be keen to avoid pink or blue. This sea green cardi is 100% cotton and fine knit – a gorgeous addition to any baby’s wardrobe.
Practical
Sophie-Sticated New Baby Gift Set (Medium), £30
We’ve not yet met a baby who didn’t love Sophie La Girafe so a Sophie gift set is always a safe bet. This one comes with a cute printed muslin too – it’ll soon become mum-to-be’s handbag essential!
Quirky
Les Jolis Trop Beaux Rabbit Muslin Comforter, £26
Moulin Roty toys are different from the norm, packed full of personality with lots of textures and colours for baby to gaze at and explore. This comforter is flat, soft and easy for little hands to grab – the perfect companion from birth up.
Cute
KALOU Terry Towelling Baby Bath Cape, £16
This bath cape comes in two sizes and is made of 100% pure cotton terry towelling. Ideal for wrapping up baby straight from the bath and keeping them warm and cosy, its cute tiger face and ears won’t fail to put smiles on faces!
