Shopping for baby shower party favors can be quite challenging and exhausting. No one wants to spend an entire afternoon shopping for a gift that won’t be appreciated. If you want to get the perfect bridal shower gift, keep reading.
Where to buy
The first step in shopping for a baby shower gift is to make sure you go to a store that has enough options of what you have in mind from different categories so that you have a fair selection to choose from. Going to a store that specializes in only one item is pointless because when you find out that they don’t have anything you like, then you will have to jump to another store. And this can be quite stressful.
When choosing the store to shop for, whether it’s a large retail company or a local store, make sure they carry a variety of mom and baby items. A good store to go to is one that has baby clothes, accessories, hats, shoes, blankets, and diaper bags.

Do not forget that the mother must be taken into account when choosing the gift. If you’re attending a close friend’s baby shower, be sure to choose a gift that reflects the mom’s personality and style—something that’s useful for the nursery and something she’ll enjoy as well.
Books and knick-knacks make great baby shower gifts for mom. Books are always appreciated. If you know the parents have yet to decide on a child’s name, you can get them a name book. If the mother is in the early part of her pregnancy, get her a pregnancy book that will guide her through the rest of the month.
Another great thing to get for mom would be a special diaper bag. There are plenty of stylish diaper bags out there that are fun to carry around. When shopping for a diaper bag, choose one that converts to a backpack or tote, so mom has different carrying options. Also, do not forget to choose a diaper bag that has plenty of space and pockets inside, so that it is easy for mom to organize baby’s things.
Fun things you can get for the nursery are photo frames and photo albums. These things are never left in their boxes because most people take thousands of pictures of their baby. And what better way to store those photos than in a cute photo frame or photo album. If you know the theme of the nursery, you can get small stuffed animals or night lights.

If you’re attending a baby shower for your niece, nephew, or godchild, you may want to choose something that best reflects your relationship with the child and the bond you want to maintain with him or her.
Personalized clothing and blanket make great baby shower party favors. You can embroider the child’s name on the fabric or a fun line like “Auntie’s Little Angel” or “God Sent Godson.” If you have yet to find out the gender of the baby, opt for safer designs, which means fewer ribbons and flowers. Don’t worry so much about the color. Get fun colors because babies can wear any color!
