Did you ever get a gift that you didn't think was practical but felt obligated to keep? Sabrina's Organizing Practical Gift Ideas series helps you find useful gifts for all occasions. Visit our Practical Baby Shower Gift Ideas collection of posts here. This installment is about practical baby shower gift ideas for the momma and the daddy-to-be in your life. Feel free to stick around and get inspired. Let's begin.

Giving practical baby shower gifts to grateful moms and dads will help them make the transition to parenthood more enjoyable and less stressful. We will share gift options to create the perfect practical baby shower gift. Ask yourself these questions to determine what is the best gift for the mom and dad:

3 Questions to Ask to Decide What Baby Shower Gift to Buy

  • Does the mom/dad have an organized baby’s room? If the baby’s room is disorganized, buying stuff that will help them organize the small stuff will motivate them to finish organizing it.
  • Are the mom and dad dealing with any situations related to the pregnancy? If the mom is on bed rest or has other issues, find out what the issue is and research it before buying a gift.
  • Is the mom a stay-at-home mom or a working mom? These moms have different needs, so knowing this will help you figure out what they may need. If the mom works a lot and the baby is in daycare, she may need more portable toys. If the baby is always home, larger interactive toys may be an option.

These questions will help you determine what gift you could purchase for this mom.

Now that you have reviewed these questions and have some ideas on how you want to help the momma-to-be, let’s share the baby shower gift ideas to help you get inspired.

Happy Shopping!

Below are some baby gift ideas you can buy for your next mom-to-be shower! I will add more as I come across them, so please revisit this post often.

Playtime is essential to all babies, especially in their first year. Here are some examples of gift ideas from Amazon (Affiliate Link) (affiliate).

3. Taking care of baby gift ideas

Now, let's take care of the baby! Newborns have gone through a significant trauma when giving birth, so we want them to feel safe (Affiliate Link) and relaxed. Finding various gifts that will help them relax is helpful. Here are some I found from Amazon (Affiliate Link).com (affiliate).

4. Taking care of mom and dad gifts

Mom and Dad need some pampering, too, you know. Finding an item that will help the new parents relax and enjoy the moment is a great gift option. Here are some gift idea suggestions.

  • Relaxation essential oils (Affiliate Link) or sprays to help mom and dad calm quickly.
  • Ointments to help the breastfeeding mom (Affiliate Link).
  • Lotions for mom.
  • Baby Monitor so mom and dad can get a good rest.

5. On-the-go mom and dad gift ideas

Not all new moms can stay home for some time after the baby is born. Some have to return to work right away.  These gifts will help them become on-the-go mom and dad more easily.  Here are some examples from Amazon (Affiliate Link).com (affiliate).

  • Portable baby mats (Affiliate Link)
  • Car organizers for baby (Affiliate Link)
  • Breast pump for mom with storage bags (Affiliate Link)
  • Disposable baby bottles (Affiliate Link) and reusable food bags
  • Bottlebrush for baby bottles

Gathering these practical gifts and creating a beautiful gift basket is an art form. I found some posts that show you how to make creative gift baskets (Affiliate Link) for useful baby shower gifts.

Creative Ways to Make Gift Baskets

If you plan on buying small items for the mom-to-be, instead of just placing all the little stuff in a bag, try making a theme out of the gift items. Creating a collection of small gift items into a themed basket gives these gifts the wow factor. Below are a few posts I found on ways to create gift baskets (Affiliate Link). Check them out for more ideas.

    I so agree that having a clear understanding of the couple's needs is the key. Often, when a family is on their second or third baby, they are just as happy to get a meal and a pack of diapers as anything else:) Also, good to know what is important to them. Some items today are controversial (e.g. the walker), and if the family is living in tight spaces, the larger gifts might be too big. I love the idea of a sound machine- we love ours!
