When you first receive the baby shower invitation in the mail, the
first thing you begin to think about isn’t the location of the party.
You don`t start wondering what you are going to wear. You instantly
begin wondering what in the world you are going to bring as a gift. In
some cases the decision can be easy while other times you can spend
hours wandering up and down the aisles trying to figure out what is
best. Here are a few tips and tricks for finding the right baby shower
gift.
Today, many expectant mothers (and fathers) create a registry. Check
the invitation for any indication that the happy couple has registered
for what they need for the baby. When you get to the store, print out
the registry and look through the items the soon to be parents
requested. You can search based on your budget or on what you think they
will need the most. Either way, when shopping with a registry you know
that you will be purchasing something that they really want or need.
When there is no registry, you are on your own. As you look around
the local stores and even browse through the internet, you realize that
the possibilities are endless. Start with your budget. How much are you
planning to spend? This will help you narrow down the choices and give
you the ability to choose one larger gift or a series of smaller
presents that will all be put together.
Are you the type of person that loves practical gift giving? If so,
there are tons of items that a new baby will need. You can always
purchase things like diapers, wipes, formula (if it will be used) or
even little onsies. Each of these items will be a necessity and any new
mom or dad would love to have these on hand at all times. You can still
wrap each one with bows and ribbons.
Are you already a parent? You know exactly what you would have wanted
at your shower. Consider going out to find the things that would have
pleased you. If your baby always needed new bibs or everyday outfits,
pick these up as baby shower gifts. Your experience will be a valuable
part of the present.
Do you love clothes and fashion? All new babies consistently wear
adorable clothes when they leave the house. It is just part of the new
baby style. If you want to bring something fun or have the gift that
gets the most attention, choose an adorable outfit or two. If you are
torn between adorable outfits and still being practical, purchase
something that will fit now and something that he or she will have to
grow into.
Finally, toys are always a fun baby shower gift. While the baby may
not be ready to use them right away, they can still be part of the room
decoration and something to grow into. Once again, if you are more on
the practical side, consider one of the Top Ten PreSchool Presents. Kids will always grow into the toys around them and sometimes sooner than you might think.
