Years ago I purchased baby gifts off of registries or gifted something handmade. Now that I’m a mom I feel like I have a better grasp on what you really need for that little one I like to be more practical than the adorable jammies. I have put together a sweet gift basket that is my go to for baby shower gifts.
These are a few of my favorite products as a new mom.
Handmade Burp Cloth or one from a fab shop like Dilly Dally Boutique.
Initial Note Cards– Perfect for the little ones first thank you notes.
Aveeno Baby Wash & Lotion– The calming lavender is my favorite.
Clip and Blue Paci Clip– The leather pacifier clip is stylish and helps avoid pacifiers on the floor.
Pearhead Handprint Keepsake– A friend did this with Baby D when he was 6 months old for Christmas. I love it!
Little Sapling Wooden Teether– They come in a variety of adorable shapes, We love our cell phone teether.
Dr. Smith’s Diaper Spray– This stuff is amazing, not only does it have a non-medicine smell, but it doesn’t drip or run AND you don’t have to rub it in. So your hands stay clean of diaper cream while changing the diaper.
I stocked up on these adorable wire market baskets from the Target Dollar Spot, only $3 each! I will be using them a ton for various projects and gifts. After you have delivered your baby shower gift basket and its been unwrapped, the basket is perfect for a diaper station too. We have this basket on the bottom of our coffee table downstairs. Everything we need to get the job done without having to head to the nursery.

March 3, 2015 at 2:06 pmI really like the ideas you have. I include white long sleeve onesies in the gifts I give for newborns. I loved them when I have little ones. I’ve never used the Dr. Smith’s. I love the idea of not having to run the cream in!
