10 Tips for baby shower gifts

Baby shower gifts can be tricky - what's appropriate and still original? Here are 10 fun gifts that are sure to please both parents and baby.

1. Play Gym

Looking for a gift that stimulates your baby's development and motor skills? Look no further! A Play Gym is the perfect gift for family and good friends. The Play Gym has a soft surface and removable toy bars. Therefore, the play mat can also be used separately. With the small toys included, the child is stimulated and can get acquainted with their first skills!

2. Tooth box or lock of hair box

It may not be the first thing you think of to give a tooth box or hair lock box as a gift, but it can mean a lot to the parents. The first teeth or hair lock are usually very sentimental for the parents, and they want to preserve them. A box ensures that it can be stored safely and for a long time, a beautiful and inexpensive gift.

3. Plaster cast set belly

Another sentimental gift idea: make a plaster cast of the pregnant belly. A pregnant belly is something that doesn't happen often in a woman's life, a moment to be preserved. You'll get the best result in the 34th week of pregnancy, so it's not a maternity gift, but you could give it earlier as a pre-maternity gift. What you can also do as a plaster gift is to make a print of the hands of mom or dad and the baby. You could give this as a maternity gift.

4. Keepsake box

And we're not done with the sentimental gifts yet. Toddlers grow quickly, and you'd prefer to save everything they find or get. Birth announcements, pregnancy tests, first socks, and first craft projects. Everything must be saved, which is why a memory box is a fun gift to give, so they can always look back on it.

5. Baby swimming pool

Spring is on its way again, and everything is starting to bloom. I'm probably not the first to think: summer is coming! And what goes with summer? Swimming! It's not that easy for a baby yet, but they find it very pleasant to splash and relax in the water. The Pop-up swimming pool is easy to fold and take with you, practical for at home and on vacation! And thanks to the 60cm high canopy, the baby is also protected from the sun.

6. Your own personal book

Tired of always giving the same thing? A personal book will delight any child. A little book with your child's name in a story from, for example, Woezel and Pip or Nijntje. At Primera, for example, you can buy a cute little book for a good price.

7. Baby album

A baby album is perfect to give a mother as a gift. In the first year, a lot of development takes place, the baby grows enormously, and many milestones pass by, beautiful to capture in pictures. Then you can always look back on it.

8. Delivered at home or bring your own food

New parents already have enough to deal with taking care of their newborn, so cooking isn't always practical. That's why a gift certificate from Thuisbezorgd is a great idea! Order delicious food and don't worry about the dishes! Would you rather make something for them yourself? No problem, making food yourself is also a sweet gesture that they'll surely appreciate. Just remember to ask if they have any allergies!

9. Birth announcement

Having trouble choosing which gift is the most fun? No problem! All the little gifts in a basket make a super fun and original gift. A romper, a teddy bear, a pacifier, baby shampoo, diapers and a rubber duck and voila, you're done!

10. Just ask the parents what they need

You can of course come up with something yourself, but if you really can't think of anything, or you can't find anything original, you can always ask the parents themselves what they need. The surprise might be a little less, but then you can be sure they'll like it!
