4. Parents especially love personalized baby gifts. Consider monogrammed clothing and robes or custom baby blanket with baby’s name. If this gift is a newborn gift and you know the baby’s birth information consider adding that information to the baby blanket for an extra special touch.

5. Baby keepsakes are a traditional favorite. They are special gifts that will be cherished a lifetime. Consider getting a personalized fine porcelain limoge, silver baby mug or a silver picture frame. You can't go wrong with classic gifts like these.

6. Choose baby clothes in size 3 months or larger. A baby usually has a first outfit and will quickly outgrow newborn sizes.

7. To truly impress and stand out from the rest of the baby shower gifts, a unique baby gift basket is the trick. There are so many creative arrangements available that cater to girl, boy or twins. Personalized baby gift baskets offer an unforgettable touch.  

8. If you are the hostess - A luxury baby gift basket is not only a special baby shower gift but can double as a great table centerpiece for the shower décor!

 10. Two popular gift items today are a baby sling to carry baby “hands-free” or a swaddling system that give the parents the gift of sleep.  Try the SwaddleKeeper Baby Sleep System with head support that also helps older siblings who want to help with the new baby.

11. Evaluate your spending limits. If you don't want to spend more than $50, choose baby clothing, beautiful monogrammed burp cloths, a soft baby blanket or a baby sling to carry baby hands-free.

12. Stay away from equipment that's on sale, unless you know the parents want a particular item. There might be a reason it is on sale.  Most modern parents go for a matching baby gear collection and the equipment on sale may be discontinued.  Watch for recall items as well, it’s important to keep baby safe. 

13. If you can't think of what to get, you can never go wrong with a baby gift basket, or even a gift certificate.  The parents will have fun shopping with your gift and purchasing those baby items on their list they didn’t receive.

Tips:
When the gender of the baby is unknown, opt for gender-neutral colors such as yellow, white and green.

Since a baby shower is meant to celebrate the upcoming arrival of the baby, giving a gift for the baby instead of for the mom is more appropriate.  Giving the Mom a celebration of life gift at birth is more relevant.
