A baby shower is a very special way to congratulate a pregnant friend and at the same time show how excited you are about the coming arrival. Originally, the idea of celebrating the birth of the baby before it arrives came from the USA. In the meantime, however, it is also becoming more and more popular in this country. In addition to a kind of tea party, smaller games are organised in honour of the expectant mum and the unborn child. In addition, it is literally "raining" with gifts for the little one. We have compiled a list of the most beautiful gift ideas, where both the baby and future mamas don't miss out.

Unique baby shower gifts for the baby shower

Especially with their first child, mothers can still use lots of practical things for their baby. These include cuddly baby clothes and fun games, for example. You're sure to find what you're looking for in our collection of baby shower gift ideas.

Cute underwear for newborns

The selection of baby clothes is huge, but is incredibly fun for most baby shower guests. Not surprising, considering the tiny socks or cute T-shirts. What really matters, however, are easy-to-dress garments made of high-quality materials. These include, for example, bodysuits with buttons on the sides and warm little hats made of wool. You can also go for baby clothes with cute sayings that are not necessarily blue or pink.

Albums as a keepsake gift

Memory albums are a very special highlight of baby shower gifts. These are available in both virtual and analogue form. The milestones of the newborn can be immortalised and important moments, such as the first crawling and standing attempts or the first milk tooth, can be noted down. Later, the album brings the beautiful memories to life and also makes children's eyes sparkle with joy.

The indispensable nappy cake

This pretty baby shower gift is not only visually eye-catching, but also extremely valuable after the birth: the self-made nappy cake. Decorated with cuddly baby utensils such as cuddly toys, teething rings and dummies, the nappy cake also contributes its share to the first baby equipment. Ideal for future mums!

Illustrated children's books to read aloud

Mums-to-be will also be delighted to receive illustrated children's books to read to their baby later on. These provide variety and entertainment during extensive cuddle sessions. A personal dedication lends the baby shower gift its own personal magic.

The best baby shower gifts for mums-to-be

Especially in the first few weeks, babies need a lot of attention and care from their parents, which is why household chores and time to relax often fall by the wayside. For this reason, baby shower gifts that make parenting time easier are recommended. Here are a few suggestions!

The practical first aid box

In the period shortly after giving birth, mamas often have to deal with birth-related changes. To make the process as pleasant as possible for them, a first aid box is a great baby shower gift. It contains, for example, breastfeeding tea to promote milk production, nursing pads to soothe aching nipples and regeneration spray for the intimate area to boost wound healing after birth. Combined with the mum-to-be's favourite things, such as her favourite snacks, care products and crosswords, they are perfectly equipped for the 6- to 8-week childbed.

Voucher books for real help

Time in particular is worth its weight in gold for new parents, because their offspring require parental care 24 hours a day, which means that sleeping in and eating out often take a back seat. That's why a voucher booklet with personalised coupons can be an extremely helpful baby shower gift. So while you clean the house, do the laundry or simply bring home a home-cooked lunch, the new mum can take care of herself and her baby. Of course, you can give the baby shower gift an even more personal touch if you make it yourself. Just try it out in our print shop and create voucher booklets in your very own design - maybe even with a photo from the last coffee klatsch between girls!

Helpful literature to quench your thirst for knowledge

Of course, pregnancy is something new and exciting for first-time mums. Pregnancy literature as a baby shower gift are therefore extremely helpful to get first insights into baby care and development. Whether in the form of a humorous novel, a scientific book or a subscription to parenting magazines - literature for pregnant women is very diverse. The latter in particular provides the mum-to-be with an excellent overview of the topic of parental happiness.

Well-being packages to relax

Since the last stages of pregnancy in particular can be very tiring for the body, feel-good packages offer the optimal relaxation for pregnant women. Filled with nice things like a rich care cream, a fragrant bubble bath, a delicious tea as well as relaxing music, your friend can set up a cosy little spa at home. In consultation with her partner, she can then look forward to the birth of her child in complete relaxation. A voucher for an on-site spa visit with massage is also a good idea, which the mum-to-be can easily redeem after the arrival of her baby.

Gifts to remember the baby shower by

The baby shower is a special event that brings back many fond memories of the pregnancy. Therefore, a souvenir of the happy celebration should not be missing. An excellent, entertaining and creative baby shower gift is the joint painting of single-coloured bibs and bodysuits, which the mum-to-be can then frame or later put on her baby. Self-made bracelets with encouraging words and wishes are also an ideal souvenir of the great baby shower. For more action, make pinatas - a papier-mâché figure filled with sweets or baby items that can be hung up and knocked down like a ripe coconut during the party. Captured in Polaroid pictures, you can then give your pregnant friend a photo frame full of the beautiful moments of the baby shower.

Family shoot as a baby shower gift

After the baby is born, time often flies. No sooner can the child grasp and grab objects than it starts crawling and walking. With a professional photo shoot, you enable the new parents to capture a very special time with the new family member for eternity. Incidentally, this surprise can also be organised excellently as a collector's gift.
