Baby Shower Gifting - Top Gifts for Mum and Baby

Baby Showers aren’t just a time to celebrate the upcoming birth of a baby, but are also a time to celebrate mum, even if it’s not her first child. If you’ve been invited to a baby shower you may be wondering what to give, especially if it’s a second child or you know mum is incredibly organised and probably has everything!

We’re always asked what’s the best gift for a baby shower, but ultimately it depends on the mum, bubs, their interests and much more. So we asked our customers and have compiled a list of the best baby shower gifts as recommended by our customers!

Top 5 Baby Shower Gifts for Mum and Baby

It’s lovely to give a gift that is for both mum and baby, as often gifts are concentrated just on the baby. Why not choose something that will help mum too?

1. A Crane Cool Mist Humidifier

Humidifiers add essential moisture to indoor air, which may relieve congestion from the common cold and flu, soothe scratchy throats, dry skin and eyes, and irritated sinuses. Perfect for babies, adults and everyone in between, a humidifier’s additional moisture thins the mucus in the sinuses, which may make it easier to breathe.

The 4-in-1 Filter Free Top Fill Drop Cool Mist Humidifier is one of our favourites as it can be used with essential oils and also has a built in white noise machine and night light. A humidifier can be used with a blocked nose, cold symptoms, dry, itchy skin and is safe to use from newborn.

This Crane model has a built-in white noise machine, which can help baby sleep better by blocking out background noises and mimicking the swooshing sounds of the womb. Babies can find white noise calming in the 4th trimester. It also features a night light which is handy for night-time feeds.

2. Boba Wrap

A stretchy wrap allows mum and baby to be close whilst having cuddles on the go. Mum gets some hands-free time, to walk with a coffee, do the shopping or run around after another child, whilst bubs gets to sleep soundly on mum’s chest where they’re happiest.

These are also great for sitting down with bubs as the soft, stretchy fabric moulds around mum and baby better than a more structured front pack.

Great for getting out and about, the Gemini is a more structured carrier than a wrap. They provide good support so are fantastic when bubs is a little older, but can also be used from newborn. Dad’s also love the ease and comfort offered.

Most people love to spoil baby with a beautiful, yet practical gift, but there's so many options to choose from. Here's what our customers told us they love (and what we love too!)

1. Merino Gown

There’s nothing sweeter than seeing a tiny wee babe sleeping peacefully. Help them have a settled sleep by gifting a Merino or Merino/Organic Cotton Gown.

3. Cuski Comforter

When bubs is older (7 months +), it's safe to introduce a comforter for unsupervised sleeps. A comforter (or lovey) can help settle bubs to sleep more easily and also help soothe them when out and about or sleeping away from home. Our favourites, the Cuski comforters, are breathable, safe and most importantly, highly loveable!
