A baby shower is such a special moment.
Celebrating together that a little one is on the way… full of love, anticipation, and a little excitement 🤍
But then comes that question: what should you actually give as a gift?
You want to give something beautiful, but also something that will actually be used. Something personal, but not too complicated.
Don't worry, we'll help you get started ✨
🎁 What are good baby shower gifts?
The perfect baby shower gift is a combination of practical, personal, and loving. These are always great choices:
💛 Personalized gifts
A gift with a name on it feels special right away.
Think of a pacifier clip or pacifier plushie, one of the most popular gifts to give and receive. It is not only beautiful but also super handy in daily life with a baby.
🧸 Practical must-haves
Things that parents will actually use are always a good idea:
- muslin cloths
- onesies
- bibs
- sleeping bag
- woolen items
👉 Tip: choose soft colors and timeless designs; you can never go wrong with those.
🌸 Small, loving gifts
Sometimes it’s all in the little things:
- a soft plush toy
- a blanket
- a small care set
🎀 Can’t choose? Create a gift set
Are you in doubt? Create a small bundle 🤍
For example, combine:
- a pacifier clip with a name
- a pacifier plushie
- and a bracelet for mom
This way, you give something that feels complete without it needing to be complicated.
🌿What should you avoid giving?
Just as important, what should you skip?
❌ Too big or cumbersome gifts
Think of large stuffed animals or items that take up a lot of space.
Well-intentioned, but often not very practical.
❌ Sizes the baby quickly outgrows (or sizes that are way too big)
Small sizes are cute, but are sometimes only worn once (or not at all). Better to go for something that lasts longer, BUT, don't overdo it. I myself once received an outfit in size 86. It took almost 2 years before it could be worn (for a photo).
❌ Duplicate gifts
Muslin cloths are amazing, but there is a good chance the mom already has a lot of them 😉 or happens to prefer a different color. Try to choose something that is just a little bit different.
🤍 In doubt? Go for personal and practical
If you really don't know, remember this: The best gifts are those that are used and bring a smile. A pacifier clip (with a name) or a gift card to buy one is a perfect example of this. It is small, personal, and indispensable in daily life with a baby.
