One of the best (and worst) parts of expecting a baby is the
waiting part. Depending on your personality (and if it’s your first baby or
not), you’re busy asking questions, being puzzled and basically overwhelmed with
all things baby. That’s why baby showers were created; not just to gift the new
parents, but to give everyone something to look forward to while your bun in the
oven is baking.
So this week I’ve rounded up some of the coolest things for shower
gifts and newbie parents.
1.) TeetheMe.com Subscription:
It’s
the gift that keeps on giving; a monthly subscription to the hottest baby gifts
on the market! Do you have one of those moms that always has the newest must-haves
of everything? Then she’ll definitely want to make sure she’s got the coolest
products for her kiddo as well! Based on how much you want to spend, a
subscription to TeetheMe.com gets a monthly box of 4 to 5 hand-picked products
for your child (aged newborn to 3 years old) delivered straight to their door
in our signature TeetheMe Box. My box included
a pair of baby sunglasses, City Grips stroller handle covers (a must for any mom with a stroller that saves her hand while looking cute), a Mickie Mouse lovie and
a Little Pim Foreign language DVD. It was perfect for my one-year old!

2.) Daddy Diaper Changing Toolkit:
Featured
on The Today’s Show, this is the one toolkit that daddy-to-be won’t be asking
for…his very own Daddy Diaper Changing Toolkit. A fun gift to get dad in the
spirit, this toolkit comes with all the tools from turkey baster to goggles, to
make this chore a little easier (or at least a little bit more fun to watch!)
There’s lots of other things on this site as well, so check it out for all
things dad!

3.) Covillow: Studies show one of the best things a mom can do to protect her new baby is to breastfeed (and the hospital will certainly reminder mom as well.) While many moms want to breastfeed, but it’s the idea that you’ll be out of the home feeding your child while exposed that makes the choice difficult. That’s why you’ve seen all those lovely designer covers out on the market, but that don’t seem to do everything a breastfeeding mom might need. Covillow makes it easier for a breastfeeding mom to still have a life. This nursing cover is like none, other- it covers your back and both sides completely and has a pillow so that both mom and baby are comfortable. Plus it rolls up to easily fit into a diaper bag.

4.) Personalized Diapers by Diapers
Couture
I’d
rather not even share this little gem as it is my go-to gift for all
parents-to-be, but it is one of my favorites! There’s nothing better than
personalized diapers all perfectly packaged to look like a cupcake! I always
get raves for this gift and best of all it’s a practical gift that will be used
– and the parents will think of you every time they change their baby’s diaper
(I don’t know if that’s a good or a bad…). With a few weeks’ notice, you can
customize the diapers with the baby’s name, initials, nursery design, the parents’
favorite things or leave it up to them. In DFW you can pick them up or
out-of-the-area you can have them delivered. It takes about 10 minutes to put
this gift together, and voilà!, the perfect, personalized baby gift.

Hope
this list is helpful! They’ll remember you for these gifts!
