Creative Baby Shower Gifts

How boring is it to receive a pack of pink or blue onesies? Although a baby shower, for expecting parents, is primarily about receiving essential baby products, some effort by the guests should be put into the gifts. Creative baby shower gifts, however, shouldn't be decorative only. Unlike other presents, baby shower gifts need to be fun but practical, colorful but useful. Many basic baby items, such as toys, clothing, blankets, and sheets meet these expectations, but can you truly call them creative baby shower gifts?

As a general rule when shopping for a baby gift, make sure the parents do not already have the item. For smaller products, such as clothing and toys, they likely need more. Larger items, including strollers and standard baby furniture, may have already been purchased. Before looking for a unique baby shower gift, contact the expecting parents about what they already have and what they need.

Diaper cakes by Rattlecake are creative baby shower gifts and are practical at the same time. 80 to 150 diapers arranged in tiers make the foundation of each design. Because diapers are an item all new parents need, this gift will greatly be appreciated.

But a tower of diapers, however, can appear boring. If two to four tiers of diapers can be likened to basic vanilla frosted cake, add some color to it. For diaper cakes, ribbon and several smaller baby products are attached to the outside. From blankets and plush toys to teething rings and bath items, these small baby products give the diaper cake a colorful and distinctive appearance.

Beyond being creative baby shower gifts, diaper cakes are practical presents that help parents long after the shower is over. While new parents will inevitably use more than 150 diapers over the first year, such a large supply gives them a good start.
