Best Baby Shower Gift Ideas for New Moms

As the due date approaches, it is natural to feel a bit anxious and stressed with the prospects of being a new parent. This is likely why our ancestors started the baby shower tradition in India, also known as Godbharai, to let the mom-to-be have some fun and feel the excitement with all the games, gifts, food, and all family members coming together to bless the mom-to-be.

If you are an expecting parent and are scared of hosting many people at home due to any infection making the mom-to-be sick, here are some Virtual Baby Shower Ideas to organise a fun event without having anyone physically around. However, if you are a family member or a friend of someone having their baby shower, this article will help you with newborn baby shower gift ideas in India.

BABY SHOWER GIFT IDEAS INDIA

1 • Cloth and Washable Books – You can never go wrong with books when it comes to baby shower gift ideas. Parents love to read to their babies even when they are inside the womb. And a washable cloth book is more hygienic and ensures that the baby can have fun exploring it without damaging it.

2 • Upcycled Toys – How about some cute baby and mommy matching upcycled toys! A baby and momma hunny bunny, or a tall and short giraffe. What is your choice, a cute pair is what everyone will go all awww about!

3 • Fun Shaped Teethers – Shape of lips or large teeth, with a fun quote or a cute baby panda, ice cream, or just a ring – Cute and fun teethers are something that is not just a good-looking gift but a useful one too.

4 • Mulmul Jhablas – When it comes to newborn baby clothes, with all the milk smell and burping and throwing up, no amount of Jhablas and onesies are enough. Available in various prints, SuperBottoms Mulmul Jhabla is an ideal choice as they are made of organic cotton. Best suitable for a baby's sensitive skin and is made with AZO-free dyes.

PERSONALIZED BABY SHOWER GIFT IDEAS

1. Hand Written Letters – Nothing says "I Love You and I Care For You" more than a handwritten letter. The dying art of pouring one's heart onto a piece of paper! Write best wishes for the baby to be born and the mom-to-be on fancy stationery and get it laminated. If the mom-to-be is a close friend or family member, this is one of the best baby shower gift ideas one can think of.

2. Personalized Onesies – This idea can work if the baby's name is already decided. Or else you can also put text like X's little brat or anything personalized rather than the generic messages available on onesies.

3. Photo Mugs – A couple's pic of the parents-to-be, a nice picture from the maternity shoot of the mom-to-be, or even a mug with a personalized message and blessing is a great idea.

DIY BABY SHOWER GIFT IDEAS

1 • Crib Mobile Making Kits – One of the best baby shower gift ideas to keep the mom constructively engaged and happy is to get her to make something for the baby. Just like in older days expecting moms used to make woollen or crocheted mittens and caps for their babies. Gift them a DIY crib mobile kit that would be handy when the baby needs some distraction or playtime.

2 • Record In Your Voice Story Books – As mentioned earlier, one can never go wrong by gifting books. And when the books have the unique feature of recording the story in the voice of a loved one, it is double the fun. A lot of options are available in the market.

3 • Hand And Footprint Kits – A kit where the parents can take the hand and footprint of the baby on a piece of paper and convert it into a wall hanging or a baby room décor are one of the most sentimental, memorable, and best baby shower gift ideas.

4 • Hand And Foot Sculpture Making Kit – Similar to the above idea, moulding kits are available to make your baby's hand or foot sculpture and convert it into a unique desktop item or a wall hanging.

FUNNY BABY SHOWER GIFT IDEAS

1 • Funny Photoshoot Costumes – Parents love to take a million pics of their newborn babies. Some even arrange a monthly photo shoot to create a photo book of their baby's growth each month. So fun costumes that make the little one look like a flower, an animal, or an animated character can be a fun baby shower gift!

2 • Message Onesies – Fun onesies with quotes and funny and cute messages; again, you can't go wrong with those! Parents can never have enough of them, as a newborn baby needs 2 – 3 changes daily.

AFFORDABLE BABY SHOWER GIFT IDEAS
