10 Practical Baby Shower Gifts - From Diapers To Maxi Pads

Okay, so my idea of practical baby shower gifts are things that will without a doubt be used, things that serve a purpose, and things that will help Mom, whether physically or mentally. Okay, she may not "oooohhh" and "aaaahhh" when she opens your gift, but I certify she'll be thanking you later on down the road.

1) Gift Cards or Cash - This is, by far, the whole one most practical baby shower gift. She'll be able to use it on anything she wants, along with more diapers, or extra items that didn't make the gift registry. Personally, I all the time get excited when I see gift cards or cash, but that's just me.

2) Diapers - This will also right on get used! I would propose maybe a integrate separate sizes and separate brands, that way when it comes time for them to buy more, they'll have a better idea of which ones they like best.

3) Wipes or Homemade Baby Wipes Kit - Premade wipes are a great baby shower gift, but I love giving out "Homemade Baby Wipes Kits", generally because it saves money over a long duration of time, and it's a unique and thoughtful gift idea. The "Homemade Baby Wipes Kit" consists of: 1 tall plastic container, 6 roll package of Viva Paper Towels (the ones that say "like cloth"), 20 oz bottle of Baby Oil, 28 oz bottle of Baby Wash, and a laminated copy of the recipe, which includes:

· 1 roll cut in half

· 2 1/2 cups of hot water

· 2 tbsp's of Baby Oil

· 1 tbsp of Baby Wash

· Directions: Cut 1 roll of paper towels in half, place one half in tall container. In another package integrate water, oil, and wash. Pour over paper towels and cover with lid. After 1/2 an hour uncover and remove cardboard roll from the center.

4) Post-Pregnancy Survival Kit - This is yet another thoughtful baby shower gift. If she's a new mom to be, she probably won't understand the significance of one of these, but when she comes home from the Hospital, I certify she'll be singing your praises. A "Post-Pregnancy Survival Kit" consists of:

· Extra strength Tylenol

· "What To Expect - The First Year" book

· Instant Cold Pads

· Maxi Pads - several sizes

· Tucks Medicated Pads

· Epsom Salt Soaking Solution

· Lansinoh Cream

· Fuzzy slippers & Chocolate

5) Baby Carrier - This is one of those baby shower gifts that will help Mom mentally! A baby carrier will give her the free time she needs to get stuff done, as well as the opportunity to get some exercise, which all the time makes me feel better.

6) accident Diaper Bag Kit - I thought this was a great idea. Give Mom a diaper bag filled with everything she may need in an emergency, such as:

· Diapers

· Wipes

· Extra outfit for Baby

· Bottle

· Teething ring, and maybe some teething tablets

· Pacifier

· baby gas relief drops

· baby Acetaminophen

· Butt paste

· Bib

· Ready-made formula

· And anything else you think might be handy - Be creative!

7) Baby Swing - This is one of gifts that will give Mom a break, plus it will be good for Baby too. Personally, I could not have lived without my baby swing, therefore it all the time comes to mind when I'm reasoning of the best baby shower gifts.

8) Humidifier - Humidifiers are great for holding those dinky noses from clogging up with dry, crusty buggers. Plus, when Baby gets his/her first cold, Mom won't feel quite so helpless.

9) Baby Jumper or Baby performance Center - Obviously this won't be used for the first four months or so, but at last it will be a must have baby item. I had one, and I found that my daughter admittedly slept better when she was able to get some exercise, and since she couldn't just stand up and go for a walk, a baby jumper or baby performance center was perfect.

10) Munchkin Soft Tip Spoons - I had to put these on the list, generally because they are, hands-down, the Best baby spoons on the market. I know what you're thinking, "a spoon is a spoon", but that's just not the case. Believe me, she will love them!
