Practical Baby Shower Gift Ideas Momma Will Love

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 with the pregnancy? If the mom is on bed rest or has other issues, find out what the issue is, then research that issue before buying a gift.
  • Is the mom a stay-at-home mom or a working mom? The needs are different for these moms, 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, the 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. Note: These links are from Amazon.com. If you choose to purchase these items on Amazon, I will receive a small referral fee at no additional cost to you. Happy Shopping!

Below are just some of the baby gift ideas you can buy for your next mom-to-be shower! I will come back and add more as I come a cross them so please revisit this post often.

3. Taking care of baby gift ideas:

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

    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!
