If you are looking for some inspiration, then there are 1000’s of ideas that you can check out on Pinterest. Of course, it helps you to choose an appropriate gift if you know the mother-to-be well, as well as also knowing what other people are going to be giving as a gift.

  • The Gender of the Baby

Even though it is relatively easy to find out the sex of a baby before they are born, many couples still wish to have a surprise when the baby finally arrives. If this is the case of your friends or the family that you are looking to buy a baby shower gift for, then you will need to make sure that you choose a gender neutral gift that is suitable for both girls and boys.

  • Clothing

With the rate that a baby grows, you can never have too many clothes for them. If you decide to buy some clothing for the baby, make sure that the colors and patterns that you choose are neutral if you do not know the baby’s sex. If you do know whether it is going to be a girl or a boy, then you can choose appropriate colors for whichever gender they are.

  • Toys

Toys are also a very popular gift to give at a baby shower and many people will choose stuffed toys such as bears and other animals. You will want to make sure that the toys that you choose are appropriate for the child, and do not have anything that they could swallow and choke on. It is also important to note that it is often quite some time before the baby will have the coordination to be able to play with the toys that you give.

  • Practical Gifts

There are many practical gifts that you can give an expectant mother that will be very much appreciated by the time the baby arrives. All you need to do is to think of all of the things that a baby is going to require a lot of in their first few months after being born.

  • Nappies/Diapers
  • Talcum Powder
  • Baby Wipes
  • Soap and Shampoo
  • Bottles
  • Sterilising Equipment
  • Formula

The list does go on and can be quite extensive. You may also wish to give gifts which can be used later in the child’s life.

  • Hampers
