8 Thoughtful Baby Shower Gift Ideas for New Mommies!

I remember one of my friends casually mention that a baby shower is ALL about the baby. This was a debatable statement since a baby shower should be just as much about the mom as it is about the baby. 

I remember having received some of the most exquisite and thoughtful baby shower gifts when my first-born came along! As much as I loved the gifts and the people associated with them, I was also kind of expecting something for myself as well. Doesn’t make me selfish, does it?

So, I figured compiling a list of some of the most fun, thoughtful, and creative baby shower gift ideas for all soon-to-be mommies would be a good idea and help people pick out something exciting! So, here goes:

Beauty products

Moms often forget to pamper themselves when the baby comes along! I certainly did not have any energy left to waste on things like a facial or a massage. It’s time this little ritual (unintended, to be sure!) changed. You can gift a soon-to-be mommy some exciting beauty products such as stretch oil, body butter, foot cream or an exotic body wash! Preferably, go for organic, vegan, and cruelty-free products as they worked like a charm on my skin!

Feeding wear

This is one area I really struggled with because I always had limited options when it came to appropriate nursing wear! New mothers need clothes that are comfortable, loose, and leave ample space for mobility. Cotton gowns are my personal favourites! Go for fun pastel shades of pink, beige, and mauve!

Diaper bags

Convenient, easy-to-carry diaper bags are every mom’s best friend! Am I right, ladies? When shopping for an expecting mother, look for fun, stylish, functional diaper bags that they can flaunt lovingly! My best friends got me a super cool Captain Marvel diaper bag for my baby shower that I absolutely adore.

Parenting books

Well, this one is a no-brainer! You know it’s true when they say babies do not come with a manual. I can vouch for that, however, I do firmly believe that a parenting book is a blessing in disguise and is the closest thing to a baby manual! It has so much information and it’s all the more easy to work your way around that stuff! Also, it takes a ton of burden off you.

Yoga music

I have been a runner all my life. But, when I was expecting Rian (my first-born), something changed and I decided to integrate yoga into my workout routine. The benefits of prenatal yoga are amazing and I am super grateful to my sister who made me a mixtape of some of the most relaxing, destressing yoga music. It also helped me deal with postpartum and cope with the physical and emotional changes in a healthier way!

These are just a handful of fun mom-centric baby shower gift ideas that you can look at while shopping for an expecting mommy. Do let me know in the comments below if you have any more exciting ideas for baby shower gifts!
