I’m pregnant, what should I buy for my baby shower gift ideas?
This is the most common question all first-time moms ask. What makes them even more confused is that there are thousands of things to choose from. From teething rings to cribs, bassinets to strollers! How do you choose what you really need and what your little one will like best? Here are some baby shower gift ideas that might help.
Baby Rattles & Teethers
These are always good because babies love tactile stimulation, so the rattles and teether toys work well to keep them busy while they explore the new world through touch. These two seem to be favorites now:
Sophie the Giraffe- Teether
This is an organic rubber toy with a long neck and easy-to-grasp legs. This cute little giraffe is made in France, and babies all over the world love it. It has to be good, right?
Nickelodeon Bubble Mower Toy — Pull Toy
What baby doesn’t like bubbles? The Bubble Mower from Nickelodeon will encourage your little one’s first steps, as well as give them lots of fun playing with bubbles! Just fill this pull toy with bubble solution (included) and watch your baby chase those bubbles all around the room.
Baby Play Gym with Mirror
This is a great example of an educational toy that captures a baby’s attention and keeps it. The play gym comes with a mirror to make your little one think they are playing with someone else, as well as lots of fun toys hanging from overhead. When the baby starts grabbing for those colorful dangling rings, their eye-hand coordination will improve dramatically.
Soft Activity Books
This activity book has four soft pages full of different textures and colors to keep your little one entertained. Each page features a different theme: farm, safari, sea life, and farmyard animals! Plus, you can store all the blocks inside this book when not in use. A definite space saver!
Activity Jumper & Seat
This product has a 4.7-star rating on Amazon! This is the ultimate play center for your baby. It comes with all of these features: 5 point harness, removable spinners, three height adjustments, toys to stimulate imagination and keep baby busy, and all of it folds flat for storage! What more could you want?
Baby Play Mat
A large activity mat can be rolled out on the floor for hours of fun. Some are reversible; some have lots of different textures to explore, while others are soft but not too cushy, so little ones can sit up by themselves when they get older. Babies love being on the floor so give them plenty of things to do down there!
