If you are heading to a baby shower, bring a gift that is distinctive, different, and sure to please any parent. Instead of the usual diaper bag or baby book, bring something that is sure to be cherished long after the guests go home.
Is someone special expecting? Give one of these six distinctive and different baby shower gifts:
1. Custom Photo Blanket
Give the baby warm and snuggly custom photo blankets. These are typically smaller, the perfect size for a bassinet or cradle, and you can imprint them with any photo, message, or motif that you desire. Consider a vintage photograph of the proud parents for a gift that will last for years.
2. First Piece of Fine Jewelry
Want to go all-out? Be the first to give the child a piece of fine jewelry, like a charm, tiny bracelet, or cross. Consider gifting a gold or silver locket with a tiny photo or message inside.
3. Holiday Ornament
A beautiful holiday ornament is a sweet and sentimental gift that doesn't have to cost a lot. Some porcelain or metal ornaments may be personalized with the year or date. Consider something that could be saved and used year after year.
4. First Travel Bag
Another unique idea is to give the baby their first piece of luggage; customize or monogram a basic carry-on that could be used as a traveling baby bag or a suitcase when the child is older. Or, buy a high-end canvas tote that could be used for a variety of purposes and that embroider well for personalization.
5. Donation to Worthy Cause
For a gift that will continue to give, consider a donation in the child's name; this could be to a local animal rescue or organization that is near or dear to the parents. Another unique gift idea is similar to hosting a financial shower, where guests bring donations to be collected for the baby's college fund. Think about giving the parents a check toward the child's future education.
6. Silver Piggy Bank
If you don't want to donate toward any particular cause but you still want to gift money, buy a cute piggy bank for the baby. These are widely found in a variety of styles, from fancy silver-plate to whimsical hand-painted ceramic; tuck your cash gift inside the bank.
