If you are looking for the perfect baby shower gift ideas for a friend or family member who’s expecting a baby, then keep reading.
I am going to be sharing with you four baby shower gift ideas that I am sure any pregnant lady will love! If she is already a mum and had a baby in the last few years, she may well have all the practical things she’s going to need for a newborn. While crisp white baby rompers, tiny baby socks or colourful bonnets can be cute baby shower gifts, she may not need these. She’ll likely have baby clothes and other essentials that she’s stored away and hopes to re-use. If that’s the case, why not buy something that’s more for her such as a pampering gift or a keepsake? She’ll likely appreciate this more than baby clothes when she’s feeling tired and in need of a pick-me-up.
1. Bola necklace
Traditionally worn by expectant mothers during pregnancy Bola chime pendants are worn low, resting against the bump so that any movement means baby hears the gentle ringing sounds. Once born the same chimes will be a reassuring and familiar sound to baby, reminding them of the security of the womb. The beautiful chiming sends soothing sounds to an unborn baby and helping to promote the unique love and bond between mum and baby. The pendant emits a gentle, harmonious tinkling sound as it moves, which is believed to help soothe your baby and promote bonding, throughout pregnancy and beyond. These make very thoughtful, special keepsake gifts.
2. Photoshoot vouchers
I may be biased but I believe that one of the best gifts you could give a family who is expecting a baby is the gift of photography. You and a group of friends could team up to buy a gift voucher from me for just £249, and this could be redeemed against my bronze newborn collection.
As an award winning baby photographer in West Malling, Kent, I’ve worked with plenty of newborns and am highly trained by well known photographers. Even if your friend is not local to me here in West Malling area, hundreds of families choose to travel to me for their baby photo session and she could do the same. I’m regularly photographing families from across the south coast and London.
A photoshoot voucher from Before Time Flies Photography includes their session and all of their edited photos, so there’s nothing extra to pay at all.
3. Bump casting kit
If the pregnant person in your life is proud of their growing bump, how about a gift which will help capture this moment in time forever? Bump casting kits are fun and easy to do at home, whilst creating a timeless keepsake to always look back on. These make really unique gifts and I doubt anyone else would of thought of this gift!
4. Pregnancy pillow
The one gift most pregnant women really want is a good night’s sleep. While you can’t deliver eight hours of guaranteed shuteye a night, you could give them a present which will help them get comfortable and unwind at the end of the day. This could be anything from a pregnancy pillow, some luxurious new bedding or a lavender-scented pillow mist. Pregnancy pillows are designed to relieve pressure from the back and hips, which help exhausted mummas get the rest they need.
If you are interested in purchasing a photoshoot gift voucher from me, please do get in contact. You can choose which collection you would like buy, I will gift wrap it beautifully for you in a wooden keepsake box.
