Five Unique Baby Shower Gift Ideas
Personalised Gift Set. Turn something practical into a thoughtful gift set. Personalise a baby bath with fun, baby safe toys and essentials to save mum the trouble- shampoos, soft wash cloths, sensitive bubble bath, and of course a squeaky rubber duck. If a baby bath doesn’t float your boat, why not apply the same idea to other things. A bedtime hamper for instance, complete with blanket, book and nightclothes. A thoughtful effort at a reasonable cost.
Family Photo-Shoot. Arranging a family photo shoot will give memories to literally last a lifetime, and it has never been easier to arrange- many companies now setting up in local shopping centres or advertising their services on the internet. If that’s a little too extravagant, why not try taking a nice, clear photograph into your local high street developer. Most of them will offer to transfer the shot onto anything from high-quality canvas prints to mugs and calendars.
Slumber Sack. A sleeping bag meets baby bodysuit, slumber sacks are designed to keep the new-born still, warm and comfortable. Since their release they have received rave reviews from many parents looking to get baby to sleep quicker and more peacefully. With the price coming in at around the ten-fifteen pound mark, it won’t leave too large a dent in your wallet.
Record Books. There are lots of attractive baby record keeper books out there for around the ten pound mark, perfect to note all of the big events in baby’s life, or even record the family tree. You could even make your own with just a large blank book and plenty of decorations. That way you can make it as tasteful or colourful as you like.
Premium Bonds. Buy them for baby now and wait to see what the future brings. Premium bonds are drawn every month with the opportunity to win up to one million pounds, tax-free. There is a unique Bond number for every pound you invest, so the more bonds you buy the greater the chance of winning. They may not always be the most profitable of gifts, but they can be a lot of fun. Especially for those blessed with a lucky streak.
