When shopping for a baby shower gift, consider a gift for the new mom since she will certainly receive lots of items to spoil her new arrival.
Consider items to pamper her like a salon or spa gift certificate or a gift set of bath and body items, even a new robe and slippers.
Why not a luxurious blanket for mom? You may even spoil her with jewelry.
Keep in mind that it is probably best to stay away from food and clothing items while a new mom is probably adjusting to her post-baby body.
Gift sets or gift baskets that combine items that are handy for mom and baby are a good idea.
Look for items like bibs, burp cloths, a diaper changing pad or a stroller blanket.
If you are shopping for the new baby, consider a stylish diaper cake that will be an attractive centerpiece at the baby shower.
Try to avoid gifts that include small toys and food items.
Small toys can be hazardous and food items may be dangerous if the baby has unknown allergies.
If you are purchasing items such as baby bottles, toys or baby bath items, be sure that baby bottles and toys are manufactured using safe plastics, that toys are not choking hazards or have sharp edges, and that baby bath items such as soap, shampoo and lotion are made with natural ingredients; chemicals may affect baby's sensitive skin.
Whatever baby shower gift you are considering, always choose quality over quantity.
