Baby showers are given in order to "shower" soon-to-be parents with items necessary for their bundle of joy. These gifts can range from practical to creative options for gift givers, although mothers who register lists for their needed items can save many from confusion and frustration. Clothing and grooming products are on the top of the list for most baby showers. Babies outgrow their clothes so quickly that it is necessary to keep at least 6 months ahead in order to have sufficient stock. Grooming products include such items as baby wipes, Q-Tips, Lotion, Baby Powder, diapers, baby soaps, baby thermometer and a diaper bag. Other popular baby gifts include feeding items such as bottle holders, bottles, breast pumps, feeding spoons, baby burp towels, baby dishes, a bathrobe, and bibs. Bath products that make useful gifts include a towel with a hoody, wash cloths, baby lotion, a baby brush, soap and baby shampoo. Bath toys can also be helpful while trying to bathe baby. Crib and bassinet items that make good gifts include fitted sheets, a comforter, a mobile, crib trim, waterproof crib pads and a comfy, warm, and soft blanky. Decorating the baby room also warrants the need for gift items such as teddies, fun wall pictures, a dresser, changing table, baby name letters for the wall, a lamp, picture frames, and a rocking chair for mommy. Other items that can make great gifts but tend to be more expensive include a stroller, bassinet, baby car seat, high chair, baby swing, bouncy seats, sound and video monitor, potty chair, diaper genie, and baby scale. Unique gifts for baby can also be practical. A gift certificate for baby pictures makes a great gift as does U.S. Govt. Bonds for the Baby, a Silver spoon or Rattle, or baby proofing the house. Other ideas can include a newborn baby bracelet keepsake as well as an ink print memory book and engraved silver baby cup. Many companies also do engravings for that extra special touch to any gift.
