10 Sweet & Stylish Baby Shower Gifts

Expecting a baby is one of the most anticipated, nerve-wracking, and exciting times in a couple’s life. Whether it is their first or fourth child, a new baby human will always change the dynamics of the family. Schedules will change, chores will be shifted, and of course, love will grow. It’s hard to know what exactly might be needed once the baby arrives, but there are a few tried and true sweet and stylish gifts that will always be appreciated. 

This curated list of no-fail gift items for the new baby will convey your joy and best wishes for this growing family:

1. An Acrylic Wall Shelf –There is bound to be a plethora of books about the baby, nursing, post natal care, and even books for the baby to cherish such as “Goodnight Moon,” and “The Cat in the Hat.” Because it’s not always feasible to have a bookcase in a room due to safety and size limitations, an acrylic wall shelf helps tuck the books away and off the floor. Clean lines and a modern style make it ideal for any nursery. 
   
    
2. Gift Cards – You just can’t go wrong gifting the versatile gift card. Available from millions of merchants all over the globe, gift cards are safe, easy, and allow the gift recipient to purchase exactly what they want. Choose from major retailers like Bed, Bath & Beyond, Walmart, and Target, or choose one from a more specific store with the parents in mind. Being up all night might require frequent trips to Starbucks, or perhaps a Home Depot card might help them complete the task of painting the nursery.
   
    
3. Portable Sound Machine & Nightlight – There’s almost nothing worse than baby crying all night, and both baby and parents frustrated, upset, and exhausted. While some nights are bound to be that way, you can help set the tone for peaceful sleep with a portable sound machine and nightlight. It’s small and can be taken along anywhere. It has 5 sounds to soothe baby including heartbeat and shushing, and there are 3 lighting glow levels for nighttime feedings.
   
    
4. Custom monogrammed baby gifts – Add a unique touch to your gift. Parents will cherish this thoughtful gift and save it carefully, even when the baby outgrows it. Many kids, however, will keep these even when they are adults.
   
    
5. Closet Divider Set – After a baby shower, parents often feel that they have an abundance of clothes for baby. It can be confusing to keep things in order and eventually they all end up in one drawer or worse, one big pile to be sorted through later. Take the guessing game out of this process for new parents with a cute set of Baby Closet Dividers. There are many styles to choose from ranging from the very simple to the more ornate with pictures of animals in bright colors.
   
    
6. First Year Frame – A baby grows the most and the quickest during their first year of life. The photo taken at the hospital within hours or days of their birth will barely look like them when they turn one year old. This first year frame offers openings for pictures taken on every month mark. When baby is 1, 2, 3 months old. It will undoubtedly hang on the wall well past baby’s future birthdays.
   
    
7. Cushy Closer Door Cushion – It’s happened to all parents. Finally, after hours of rocking baby, cooing at them, setting them down in the crib and being as silent as possible so they are not disturbed, the door clicks when you close it and it’s as loud as thunder. This is an item the new parents may never have realized they needed.
   
    
8. Pack of Newborn/Toddler Socks – Everyone can relate to the mystery of the missing sock; the pair of socks gets put into the dryer but only one sock comes out. This is doubly true for infant and toddler socks! Babies kick them off just about everywhere. Stocking the new parents up with cute socks will be a blessing for them right from the start.
   
    
9. Baby Unisex Cotton Animal Face Towel – This hooded towel makes bath time fun! Turn their cute little guy or gal into an adorable unicorn. They’ll giggle at the sight of it and the parents will, too!  Made of 100% woven terry cotton, it’s soft and gentle and will make bath time a little easier for everyone. 
   
    
10. Personalized Book about Baby – Gift the parents with a 20-page hardbound book that is all about the little one that has just joined the family. It is a keepsake, and a book that can be read to baby over and over. It includes birthdate, weight, height, and all the other pertinent information from when baby was ‘hatched.’ 
    
     
11. Customized Baby Spoons – These spoons are cute as a button. Four different colors to choose from, engraved with your choice of name and/or date. Made of stainless steel, these little spoons are essential for babies over 6 months of age as they learn to eat more solid food.
