Here are among the top gifts to give during baby showers:
1. Baby shower favors - You can choose from the many baby shower favors available today. There are baby candles, photo frames and compilations, and stickers. If you take on the responsibility of distributing baby shower favors for the guests, the future parents will not worry about it anymore. All they have to do is remain excited for the upcoming baby shower. Just make sure you have a copy of the guest list to be certain that you have enough for all the guests.
2. Diapers and other supplies - There are several ways of giving diapers and baby supplies. You can give diaper cakes or diaper animals. There are also baby bouquets packed with different baby outfits, towels, and socks. You can also give a baby bath time set, or a baby bottle set.
3. Baby furniture - If you can, baby furniture is a great gift you can give to both the baby and the couple. There are beautiful baby cribs or cabinets that you can pick. A dresser and organizer will also make a perfect gift for the couple. Just make sure that the couple does not have these pieces yet. You can ask the couple's interior designer, close friend or the couple themselves to make sure that your gift will not end up in the corner and gather dust.
4. Diaper bags - These are also great items to give because parents will surely need them when they take their baby to the park, or to visit other family members. You can also fill it with diapers, baby bottles and other baby stuff.
5. Gifts for mom or dad - You can also give something that mom or dad can use. Instead of giving diaper animals alone, why not accompany it with books about parenting or other helpful reading materials. These can be very helpful especially for first time parents. If you are a very close friend of mom, you can give her a stretch mark solution. Stretch marks have always been a problem for most expecting mothers.
You can also give dad a special gift. There are wonderfully designed diaper bags especially for guys as well as diaper changing aprons.
Make your gift count. Think of what the baby or the parents really need. You can make parenting a bit easier for future parents if you consider their needs when giving gifts.
