Great Baby Shower Gifts For The New Mommy-To-Be… from Experienced Grandmas everywhere: A blog about showering the soon to be mother with presents.

Introduction

A baby shower is a great way to help out new moms. We all know that babies are expensive, and having one might take its toll on the new mom. She’ll need to buy all kinds of things for her little one, including outfits, diapers, and toys. However, these aren’t the only things that you can get her as a gift! In fact, there are many other things you could give to make sure she feels comfortable during this time in her life. After all, it’s hard enough being pregnant without having to worry about running out of something important like diapers or wipes! So why not take advantage of this special occasion and show your loved ones (and yourself) what being an experienced grandparent means? Here’s my list of great gifts for expecting mothers:

#1. Belly Bandit.

A belly bandit is a great way to support the mom-to-be’s growing belly. It works by helping to manage the unavoidable weight gain that comes with pregnancy. The bands are made of soft cotton or bamboo fabric, and they have four rows of hook and eye closures which allow you to adjust the fit depending on how much weight you’ve gained.

You can purchase one at a local department store or online at Amazon! They come in different sizes and colors so there’s sure to be one that fits your mother-to-be best!

#2. Maternity Pillow.

A maternity pillow is great gift for moms-to-be. Maternity pillows help with back pain, hip pain and they can be used to help position baby while sleeping. Some moms use it to get comfortable while nursing their babies too!

#3. Nursing Cover or Nursing Pads or both!

If you’re giving a gift to a new mom, consider buying her a nursing cover. These are great for keeping the sun out of your little one’s eyes and protecting them from germs. They can also help keep their head warm when they’re in the stroller or car seat on a chilly day. Nursing covers make it possible for new moms to nurse in public without revealing too much skin (especially if they’re wearing some loose-fitting clothing).

They look like small umbrellas—but they’ll protect both mother and child from prying eyes!

If you want to get really fancy with it, consider buying one with an opening for their face so that she doesn’t have to lift off her breast during feeding time (some moms will take advantage of this feature).

#4. A Sleep Mask and Ear Plugs Baby Can’t Scream Through These!

The sleep mask and ear plugs are a must-have for the new mom. They will help her to get some much needed rest and that is an amazing gift!

This is especially helpful if you have a little one who loves to be up at all hours of the night, but is not yet old enough to self-soothe or sleep through the night.

These can be used together or separately depending on your needs and she’ll thank you for it!

#5. Make Up Kit and Nail Kit- this is important for the days that she feels like herself!

A make up kit or nail kit are great gifts to give or receive, but if you don’t know what kind of makeup she likes, don’t be afraid to ask! There is always a chance that she would love something different from what she normally wears. This could also be a fun way of getting her more into trying new stuff!

#6. Baby Diapers and Wipes- This is an expensive item that parents always need more of!

Diapers and wipes are an expensive item that parents always need more of. It is important to buy the right size for your baby and make sure it is reliable.

#7. Clothing- (make sure you buy it big enough to fit over her big belly) It can also be a fresh outfit for the baby too! Everyone loves cute clothes!

Clothing- This can be a new outfit for the baby, or an outfit for the mommy, depending on how big she is. You might have to go to a thrift store because it’s hard to find maternity clothes in normal stores anymore. It doesn’t matter if you get it on sale or even at a garage sale, as long as it fits!

If you want something more unique: think about getting her something handmade by someone special who knows her well enough. Some ideas are: handmade jewelry (necklace/ring), handbag made from recycled materials (if you’re crafty yourself), mug with photos of friends and family on it (maybe do this with your grandchildren’s photos).

#8. Breast Pump (if she doesn’t have one)- this can be used if the baby needs to be away from Mom for a short period of time or if the mother wants to freeze some breast milk for the baby at a later date.

A breast pump is another essential baby shower gift idea. A breast pump will be used to express milk, which is the first step in pumping out breast milk. If you don’t have one, you can borrow one from a friend or buy an inexpensive manual hand pump that’s available at most drug stores. If your family member already has one, then give her a gift certificate for additional ones so she can swap them out and get new parts when needed.

Breast pumps are expensive, but they’re necessary for many mothers and babies who need to be separated for short periods of time (like going to work). If mom’s away at work all day, she’ll need to use this handy device in order for her baby not go hungry!

The new Mother-to-Be should be showered with gifts from people that care about her and the new little one!

The new Mother-to-Be should be showered with gifts from people that care about her and the new little one! You can also find great gift ideas at your local baby super store or online.

Gift ideas:

• A brand new set of dishes for the kitchen, or a nice set of china for special occasions. Remember to get something that will last many years to come!
• A beautiful comforter set for her bedroom in a color that goes well with any decorating style (and remember you can always change it later). A comforter will keep you warm and cozy on cold winter nights as well as provide an accent piece to really make your room pop (pardon my pun)!
• An elegant chair for nursing time which is both comfortable and stylish; this way she can relax while feeding the baby without being confined by bulky furniture that takes up too much space within the room itself!

Conclusion

It’s important that you know what the new Mommy-to-Be wants for her shower. It can be a lot of fun to go shopping for her and make sure she gets everything she needs! Good luck with your shopping and remember: You don’t have to spend a lot of money on these gifts, just make sure they’re unique because they come from the heart
