The best gifts for baby shower
Here we have listed the best and most popular gifts for a baby shower.
Photo book (gift voucher available)
Give your friend a great opportunity to immortalise beautiful photos from pregnancy and newborn baby in a photo book. A photo book is a book you design yourself, filled with the best photos. The book will be a wonderful memory for life.
A photo book is one of the most popular baby shower gifts as it is very personal.
Pampering for mom
When you've been pregnant for months, a little pampering and relaxation is really needed. Treat the mum-to-be to a good dose of me-time before baby arrives and it's all about nappies, breastfeeding and sleep.
For example, buy a nice facial - who doesn't want that?
Lovely baby blanket
Having a special baby blanket is worth its weight in gold when you have a newborn. You can easily use more than one baby blanket, as babies often yawn or have accidents on their blanket. A nice baby blanket could be this one in organic wool, for example. Super nice and really soft!
A bleaching
It might sound crazy, but a cake made of diapers is a really popular gift for a baby shower. It's an American phenomenon that has found its way to Denmark. A diaper cake is a bunch of diapers rolled up to form a nice cake. A fun and creative way to give the new mother a lot of diapers for the little one.
You can buy a ready-made cake at Babyshower.dk, or make it yourself.
