I recently got a request to put together a post on baby shower gifts. Perfect timing since I have my fair share of showers to go to this year and have been looking for gifts to purchase anyway! I don’t have kids, but have been to many a shower and tend to buy versions of the same things every time. Just about every shower has a very specific registry since moms-to-be heavily research their staple items. Therefore my favorite gifts to give are items not on their registry, but still practical. I love getting clothes or cute accents like stuffed animals or cozy blankets. Also, if you know the mom quite well something bigger like a chic diaper bag or more personalized gift such as an engraved necklace with the baby’s name always feels special. I get a few different size options for clothes and tend to get one nicer outfit and then a lot of cute less expensive everyday items from places like H&M baby or Zara Kids! Other favorites, include a cute frame with a photo of the mom pregnant or empty for her to fill with a newborn photo and a classic book with a special note on the inside cover.
