Unique Baby Shower Gifts

If you know the new mother's tastes and preferences and you are not afraid to use your imagination, you can come up with lots of ideas for perfectly unique baby shower gifts that she will appreciate.

Food at the Shower

Food plays a very important part in a baby shower theme but it can also be used as an idea for unique baby shower gifts.  All you need to do is host a pot-luck baby shower where you invite all of the guests to bring along their favorite healthy dish and its recipe.  Then you can out all of the recipes into a binder for the new mother to take home with her.  The new mother will be grateful for the simple, healthy meals that she can make for her family.

Unique Baby Shower Gifts

Personalized gifts are perfect for unique baby shower gifts.  For instance, a simple toy box painted with the baby's name or a monogrammed onesie, initialed socks or bibs work great.

Presenting the Mom-To-Be

With a little research you could create a mini-presentation about the mother-to-be.  Some topics would include her habits, tantrums and messiest moments as a baby.  Of course, you should include pictures and then put it all into an album in the end.

A Memory Book

Have your guests write their memories down and add them to a book.  You can then give the finished product to the mother-to-be.  This is one of the unique baby shower gifts that the new mother will be able to share with her new baby later on.

Advice and Tips as Baby Shower Gifts

Parents love sharing tips and advice.  All it takes is a little creativity and some cooperation from your guests to create a parenting advice album in a scrapbook style.  Simply ask everyone that you invite to the shower to write down their best parenting advice, then put all of the quotes together in a pretty book and label it for the mother-to-be who will treasure this while finding good use for the tips and hints.

Have the Parents Register at a Local Store

Sometimes new parents will make unique baby shower gifts very easy to find by registering with a local department or specialty store.  Herein it is a good idea to personalize these items to make them unique baby shower gifts.  While you may feel as though your creativity is limited, you can still be creative in the gifting process – and at least you will be getting them something they will actually use!
