5 Perfect Presents To Bring To Your Next Baby Shower.

By Claire James

With the pregnancy bug in the water system, you are bound to know someone who is having a baby, if you aren't having one yourself. Pregnant women equal shopping time. Here are 5 gifts that any mother will most certainly be appreciative of. The baby shower gift ideas are great for those who are shopping or for mom's to put on their gift registry.

1. Nappies, nappies and more nappies. This may seem like a boring gift, but this is exactly why you should get it. Noone wants to be that person who bought the boring gift but you know what, yours will be the favorite! At least this gift is something that they can use and will save them time and money in the long run. You can still make this gift look amazing remember, in fact many stores offer special boxes for presenting nappies in for just this type of occasion

2. Blankets, burp cloths, cloth nappies etc. These are the gifts that keep on giving. They may seem like plain gifts but I can tell you first hand that as a parent, you can never have enough blankets, throws, wipe cloths etc. But this is the trick. Don't buy the small novelty baby blankets because they are only useful for the first few months. Buy the larger size ones and you will see your gift favored for years to come.

3.Pamper that new Mom. You can never go wrong with taking care of Mom, because quite often she gets overlooked at these occasions and more often than not she will certainly forget about herself! Let the new Mom get the star treatment she deserves and shout her to some indulgence.

4. Lightweight stroller and Baby Car seats are a necessity, and if you are the one who provies the gift - you will forever be remembered for your generosity. You can also get covers for the baby car seat to make cleaning them easier for the future mum

5. Gift Certificates. You can never go wrong with a gift certificate. Mom and Dad get to choose what they want and you gave them that satisfaction. The obvious choice for a gift certificate would where the registry is set up. If they do not have a registry set up, good choices could include their favorite supermarket (formula, diapers) or baby store. Another gift certificate idea could be a check card gift certificate. It works like a credit card and can be used anywhere.

Tip: Clothing seems cute and adorable in the shops, but try and refrain from purchasing clothes as presents. Quite often the parents will be given a lot from friends and family, and will also want to go out and buy their own 'adorable outfits - 42629
