Unique Baby Gifts For Baby Shower

Of course, before you go baby shopping, you have to remember that little ones are notoriously arbitrary in their tastes. Sometimes a gift that looks like a good idea will be completely ignored, or something as simple as a ball of socks or a little jangly toy will capture the baby’s attention for hours. Personalized baby gifts are great way to show the parents how much you care, but remember that the baby him or herself is likely to destroy a delicate blanket or bib within days, if not hours. As such, be preprepared for any reaction the tot might have to your unique baby gifts. Don’t get your feelings hurt. After all, who knows what a baby is going to think!

One unique baby gift that is guaranteed to please is a handmade blanket. When I was a little kid, my grandmother made me be just such a blanket. It was delicate, with a lot of brightly colored yarn. I found it soft and comfortable, and carried it around for years afterwards. By the time I was done with it, it was little more than a bunch of threadbare cotton. Nonetheless, I still loved it.

For some babies, the louder and more flashy a toy, the better. Electronic toys are all the rage for baby shower presents, even if they aren’t very unique baby gifts. Kids like things with buttons that you can press to make them flash. Just make sure that the kid doesn’t have the same toy already – there’s nothing like a duplicate present to disappoint a young child.
