Thinking back to my baby shower some of the unique gifts I received were: a gift certificate for a pedicure, Little People play-set for when my son got older (clothes and toys for later are always a nice surprise to pull out of the closet when the time comes) and cash to start a savings account for my little one on the way. Plenty of people will give the essentials as well as the latest cute baby items, so why not be a little different and try one of these ideas out:
- Something to pamper Mom – a spa gift certificate or a gift basket of pampering essentials
- Photo memories – photo shoot with a local baby photographer or gift card to a photofinishing website
- Music – lullaby version CD of the parents’ favourite music artist
- Team spirit –bib, pacifier, onesie, sleeper or feeding set sporting the parent’s favourite team (always a hit with Dad!)
- Entertainment – a pass to a local mom and baby play place or music group (great if you have a baby so you can do something together)
- Help – meal delivery, dry cleaning or yard care certificates (anything to help the parents enjoy more time with their little one)
- Go green – a starter kit of all natural household cleaning products including laundry soap for the piles of laundry that will soon build up
Next time you are invited to a baby shower think outside of the box and see what ideas you can come up with. Remember, if you just can’t resist picking up a package of washcloths or some rattles go for it – you might need something to attach the gift card to. – Lisa F, Staff Writer
