When I gave birth to Turner I was really surprised to find that people brought me gifts! I had already gotten quite a lot from my baby shower and was amazed that people who had already gotten me a baby shower gift showed up with a Welcome Baby Gift. Those gifts were so special to me. It was just the sweetest gesture during an overwhelming and emotional time. I still remember them and the sweet people that gave them.

That doesn’t mean you HAVE to give a welcome baby gift, heck you probably already did shell out some big bucks for the baby shower gift, but if it is someone close to you and you have the means it might mean a lot to that person. Here are some ideas!

  1. By far, my favorite gift was a gift basket of nice natural bath and body products. Some products I love are:

2. A nice baby blanket and plush toy. While they might have gotten a lot of blankets and stuffed toys at the shower, it almost means more to receive this gift once the baby is here, it feels more personalized for the baby. Make sure you select something nice quality in order to make it more meanigful. Some great options are:

3. Bamboo wash clothes and clean ingredient baby bath travel kit. I LOVE my bamboo washcloths, they are the absolute softest. And I can’t say enough good stuff about Puracy products. The natural stain remover will be needed for those blowouts and new moms want to feel good about the ingredients they are putting on their baby’s body during bath time.

4. If you are looking splurge and really treat that new Mama - get her an Ember coffee cup. She’ll need it if she ever wants to drink hot coffee again.
