10 Unique Baby shower gifts nobody thinks of
Looking for a unique gift for your soon to be mom? The biggest annoyance at any baby shower (Christmas, Birthdays or any other gift giving event) Is duplicate items. I personally hate when I go through the painstaking process of finding the perfect gift all for it to be a duplicate that has to be returned.
If you’re feeling unsure about where to start when it comes to finding a one-of-a-kind baby shower gift, I’ve compiled a list to give you a head start. I’ve reflected on the gifts that truly stood out to me as unique and thoughtful, as well as the ones that nobody even considered giving me but would have meant the world to receive!
These gifts that nobody thinks of are the best way to pick not only a unique gift, but a great and helpful gift for baby and mom.
These items are the type of gift that are only thought about a few years after having the baby but would have been great to think about directly after the baby is born. They will without a doubt put a smile on moms face for years to come and will be a constant reminder of your thoughtfulness.
So, without further ado, here’s our list of unique baby shower gifts nobody really thinks of.
1. Silicone Suction Dinner Plate
If you want a gift that will save your new mom many years of their life, this is the perfect gift. There are very few things on this earth more infuriating than making a crying baby plenty of food just for them to slam the ENTIRE plate on the ground. The dog will be eating the leftover food off the floor and mom is usually sat there entirely defeated.
You can save mom from emotional combustion with this plate that suctions to the table, and I mean it really does a good job at it. This plate will save hours on moms life and make feed time easy and carefree.
2. Easy Clean Silicone Baby Bib
Have you ever seen a baby eat? They have to be some of the most inefficient eaters in the animal kingdom. This bib will catch every little piece of spaghetti sauce while also being easy to clean and store.
Not to mention the alternative is usually the crustiest cloth bib you have ever seen.
3. Squeeze Spoon Feeder
This one is a personal all time favorite for me, this squeeze feeding bottle makes it so easy to feed baby while out at a restaurant or just outside in need of a quick meal.
the bottle also holds a good amount of solids so you can be out for hours on end and not have to worry about stopping and finding a place to set out a small picnic.
4. Sunflower Baby Bath
In the first few months after birth bath time is one of the most stress inducing periods for a new mom. Trying to bathe a baby in a full size tub or a sink with who knows what inside of it only makes it worse.
This quick drying sunflower bath not only makes bath time much easier but also pretty and floral, and who doesn’t like that?
5. Travel size white noise machine
Ok sure, we all know about white noise machines. This one however is travel sized and is perfect for car rides while also being loud enough to block out car noises on long road trips. This particular model also has LED lights in it so that is a bonus.
6. Multifunctional pregnancy pillow
Is mom still in the early stages of pregnancy? This pillow worked wonderfully for me while I was pregnant, it is stiff enough to support my stomach and just the right shape. After my baby was born, I used it to support my baby so I guess you could say it has long term benefits.
7. Kangaroo Baby Nursing Coat
When it’s 2am and your struggling to stay awake long enough to breast feed I can see this breastfeeding coat being a lifesaver and its also pretty cute and cozy. This is something I didn’t personally receive, nonetheless it’s not something i’ve ever seen handed out at a baby shower and its crazy functional.
8. Blackout Baby Curtains
Babies sleep at all times of the day, so it’s important to ensure a dark environment whenever the time calls. A blackout curtain is one of the most helpful items to help regulate a baby’s sleep schedule with newborns sleeping up to 16 hours a day.
These curtains come in many different lenghts.
9. Baby pacifier digital thermometer
Taking a baby’s temperature can be a challenging task, especially when they are uncomfortable or fussy. The thermometer pacifier offers a gentle and non-invasive way to monitor their temperature. Designed with a built-in thermometer, this pacifier allows parents to obtain accurate readings simply by having the baby suck on it. This eliminates the need for traditional thermometers, making temperature checks a stress-free experience for both the baby and the parent.
10. Baby milestone blanket
A baby milestone blanket is a blanket that offers a snuggly alternative to monthly milestone
cards. The purpose of a milestone blanket is to keep track of and celebrate your baby’s growth milestones. You can lay your baby on the blanket, mark the amount of months they are, and snap a picture. The best baby milestone blankets
provide cute measurement markers against fun backdrops.
11. Portable baby changing pad
A top-notch baby changing mat offers unmatched convenience, allowing parents to transform any surface into a clean and hygienic changing area. These mats are designed to be lightweight and compact, making them ideal for travel or outings. With a baby changing mat on hand, parents can confidently handle diaper changes wherever they may be, ensuring their little one’s comfort and cleanliness.
12. Baby Footprint Handprint Clay
A baby’s footprints hold immeasurable significance for a mother, serving as a tangible representation of her little one’s growth and journey through infancy. With a baby footprint clay keepsake kit, the mother can experience sheer delight in preserving these precious imprints. By molding her baby’s tiny feet in clay, she creates a cherished keepsake that will forever bring a smile to her face. This heartfelt gift allows her to relive the magical moments of her baby’s early days, filling her heart with happiness and a deep sense of love and connection.
