Baby shower gift ideas?

MC88

Hi guys,

I'm going to my cousins baby shower and this is my first one. She is expecting a girl. What are typical baby shower gifts? I looked up online and everything was really expensive like strollers and cots etc... any ideas.

Many thanks MC

Same thing you'd normally buy when a baby is born, I assume these gifts are in lieu of the gifts that are usually given when the baby is born? :eek:

Clothes, blankets, soft toy, silver baby knife and fork, piggy bank, baby photo frame etc

Set a budget that suits you and head to Mothercare or Argos or something, no doubt there will be something in your price range.

Good idea, although i fear i would have to buy a present after the baby is born as well. Is that something you would do?

As a recent parent to a baby girl, here's what I think you should do. Buy a pile of plain bibs with nothing on them. Then buy a pile of fabric pens and have everyone at the shower decorate a bib. Our little one is 6 months old and we still use all the bibs!

You could also buy a big pile of baby spit up cloths, the muslin ones are the best, i think boots have them.

No chance, that would be way OTT, one gift for the baby shower or when it's born.
