Baby Shower Gifts

The purpose of a baby shower is for parents to celebrate the upcoming birth of their child.

Traditionally, baby showers were for the first born and were for females only but that has changed in recent years.

Essentially, they’re a party for family and friends to gather and ‘shower’ the expectant parents with gifts – and to show their support.

In terms of timing, baby showers are usually held anywhere between 12 and 4 weeks before the baby is due.

Most baby showers involve fun games, food and the opening of gifts.

If you’ve been invited to a baby shower then the key thing to remember is to take a gift with you.

Sometimes the invite will specify a gift list, in much the same way as a wedding, but more often than not it’s important you choose an appropriate gift.

There are really practical gifts such as clothing, blankets or even nappies.

Or they can be more thoughtful, personal ones such as keepsake books or photo albums.

If you’re looking for a gift for a baby shower that’s just a little bit different, then take a look at our Little Paws Big Memories: ABC Animals baby keepsake book.

This beautifully designed book includes elegant illustrations of animals, each designed to hold your little one's hand and footprints in the gaps, turning gorgeous little hands and toes into unforgettable art.

It’s the ultimate thoughtful gift for a baby shower, one that you’ll be proud to give – and the parents will be more than happy to receive.

There is truly nothing else like this available.
