Each of us wants to give a gift that stands out from the rest and leaves an indelible mark on the heart of the recipient. But, with the economy in shambles and most people clinging to their monthly budgets for the skin of their teeth, expensive baby shower favors are out of the question. Fortunately, it is possible to buy great gifts even when you are on a budget.
Candles: Candles make a great baby shower gift. They are useful, reminiscent of tradition and faith, and very beautiful. Baby shower candles are available in all kinds of shapes, from baby bottles to lollipops. You can buy them in blue or pink colors, which makes them suitable for girls and boys. If your budget allows, you can gift the candle with an attractive candle holder. It’s easy to personalize this gift because you can easily add the name or the date to the candle holder.
Useful objects: The best gifts are always gifts that are of some use. Even the most beautiful objects lose their shine after a while and find their way to the attic if they are not useful. Some of the cheapest but most beloved baby shower gifts include bookmarks with angels or cherubs, beautifully shaped cookie cutters, bath confetti packets, and miniature photo frames. These items are very useful and some of them, like the cookie cutter, can also be customized.
Baby ‘little things’: If you want to make your guests happy by giving them something that will leave them sweet memories, how about a personalized Candy Jar? This is one of the most affordable and universally loved gifts for baby showers.
Creative ideas: If you’re a creative person, gifting a unique baby shower gift just got easier! You can buy small silver pots, stands, or buckets and have them hold all kinds of goodies, from chocolates to flowers. The receiver can make use of the stand even after the goodies inside have faded. It is possible to buy all kinds of beautiful objects at discounted prices. A little imagination is all it takes to turn this into a beautiful gift.
Baby clothes: What parent doesn’t like to show off their newborn? Baby clothes for the newborn are quite inexpensive but very welcome. Bibs, gloves, caps, and socks are items that babies need all the time. So these are gladly accepted. These items are available in different colors and designs, making them a welcome addition to your baby’s wardrobe.
Plants: This may seem a little different than the rest, but potted plants are a great way to thank your guests. Young trees indicate the beginning of a new life and as the plant grows it is natural to become more and more involved in the process of caring for the plant. What better gift to symbolize new beginnings!
