As women, we all get to an age where it seems like we are going to baby shower after baby shower. There is nothing more exciting than welcoming a new baby into the family or watching your best friend have her first child. You are a tried and true expert having two kids already, but this is her first kid. You can tell she is very overwhelmed with everything she has to do, and as excited as she is she keeps mentioning how she will never be ready for the baby. Well, instead of just listening why not give her a gift that is much more help than the average boring shower gift. Here are some unique ideas for baby shower gifts that show you know what she is going through and want to help.
5. Get Cooking
One of the most difficult tasks, when a new baby comes, is cooking. Before the baby comes and there are no kids, it is nothing but fun and after its a disaster. You are trying to finish dinner before your husband gets home and just at that moment, the baby starts screaming. Next, the phone is ringing, and it’s your mom, and you have to answer. All you want is a break, and that is when you think how nice it was for your dear friend Cheryl to cook dinner and freeze it for the first week. It was a great shower gift, and it made life so much easier.
4. Sleepy Time
The gift of sleep is usually a runaway effort when a new baby is in the house. Why not offer to spend the night or time during the day so your friend can get some much need sleep relief. She will be forever grateful and so will the dad.
3. Fast Escape
Sometimes the new mom just needs some time to escape the house or even get something done in the house. Give her some homemade babysitting certificates where you can keep that precious one entertained and she gets a break from being stuck at home. If she chooses to stay home, she will have plenty of time to get things done because you will be watching the little one.
2. Help Paint
Usually, the shower takes place before the baby, and new parents would love a hand in getting the room together. Painting is a lot of work and offering to pitch in is a win for the parents. You could also help put together the furniture. No matter, what you do they will be glad they had some help.
1. Laundry Service
We listed a laundry service gift card as our number one because it is every mom’s least favorite thing to do and our favorite baby shower gift idea. Subscribe the new mom to a laundry service through LaundroMart in North Fort Myers, Florida. If she is a new mom, she will have no idea just how much laundry she will be going through weekly. Not having to do it at all is a great gift for any mom and it doesn’t matter whether it’s for a shower or any other gift giving occasion. They will Wash/Dry/Fold all her laundry, and all she has to do is drop it off and pick it up.
