Best Baby Shower Gift Ideas

By Ethan West


Finding the perfect baby shower gift isn't tough because there are a lack of options to purchase, it is tough because there is such a plethora of items that it can be hard to decide on just one. This list represents our top 10 can't live without baby products. Each of these gifts get outstanding ratings and reviews on all major shopping sites.

Wubbanub Pacifier

A major problem parents face in their baby's first year is dealing with soothers. Loosing them, dropping them and forgetting them. Having to constantly reinsert the pacifier into baby's mouth after it is spit out can get very annoying. The WubbaNub solves most of these problems by combining a plush toy that rests on baby's chest with the top rated (and hospital recommended) Soothie pacifier. Cleaning the toy can be a little tricky because the pacifier does not detach from the plush toy. Wubbanub suggests throwing it in the washing machine which works just fine. 62 parents rate this an average of 4.6/5 stars on Amazon.

Under the Nile Organic Baby Gown

Some of the cutest baby sleepers I've ever purchased are a huge hassle when it comes to late night changes. These Under the Nile baby gowns eliminate snaps and zippers altogether making changes considerably easier for mom. Hike them up, change baby's diaper and hike them down. It doesn't get any simpler.

BabyBjorn Babbysitter Balance Air

A bouncer provides a safe place to set baby down while mom does any number of tasks requiring two hands. There are a number of options to choose in this category and this one is the hands-down winner. It folds flat for storage and transport, does not require batteries, and looks fantastic in any decor.

Hanna Andersson Night Night Baby Sleeper Pajamas

I love sleepers that are easy to get on and off my child. These deluxe pyjamas look great, feel amazing and are super practical. 101 parents give these sleepers a 5/5 rating.

Lamaze Chime Garden

I think adults love this toy as much as babies do! The Chime Garden has lights, pleasing sounds, and varied textures to hold baby's interest for hours. It is very easy to operate, requiring only a tug or tap to activate the cute little flowers. On the bottom of this bouquet is a handy velcro strap that can be used to attach to baby's crib, stroller, or activity gym.

Tiny Love Super Deluxe Lights and Music Gymini Activity Gym

Activity play mats like this one keep baby occupied on the floor while protecting carpets from spit-up. When finished with it, the play mat is easily collapsed for storage. Parents nearly unanimously rate this play mat as one of the best available.

Sofie the Giraffe

The best selling teething toy of all time for a reason. Its proportions and rubber texture are just what babies want when they are cutting teeth. I currently have a giraffe that is two years old now and the spots are just starting to fade a bit. Otherwise, it is in great shape and my second baby loves it. 1547 parents have rated this teether at 5/5 stars on Amazon.

Robeez shoes

Keeping a baby's shoes on their feet can be a challenge. Robeez shoes stay on all day and are extremely easy to put on. Very few shoe makers can make that claim. Their adorable styles will be a guaranteed crowd pleaser at the shower as well.

Burt's Bees Baby BeeGift Basket

When choosing baby care products for my children, I look for the least amount of harmful chemicals. Baby Bee products are 98.9% natural and do not contain any stinky perfumes. Their bubble bath, shampoo and diaper rash cream are staples in my house.

Phil & Ted's Lobster High Chair

This is the top rated portable high chair and has proven invaluable when visiting other people's homes, eating out, and camping. The Lobster's tray reduces mess and ensures the baby is eating off of a clean surface. Whenever we bring the Lobster to a restaurant, we have parents and grandparents approaching us asking where to get one for themselves.
