A feeding theme maybe? Example: burp cloths, bibs, boppy pillow, nipple cream, an "itzbeen" timer (these are amazing!!! it times feedings, sleepings, diaper changes, etc), breast pads, etc.
If she is formula feeding then a small variety of formula to sample and some bottles.
Another gift theme could be clothes. Some that you could wear with each other (like a bunch of pinks and browns). Shoes, hats, pants, onsies, pj’s, shirts.
And then of course theres the diaper bag theme: Diaper bag, pacifiers, burp cloths, changing pad, wipes container, hand sanitizer, bottle, couple outfits, bulb syringe, etc. And best of all you don’t have to wrap this gift cause everything should fit in the diaper bag itself! =]
You could do a Feeding theme……bottles, nipples, formula, bibs, etc
You could do a diapering theme…….diapers, diaper rash cream, mat to change on, wipes, etc.
You could do a basket of books or toys
I personally needed the basics when my baby was born. (diapers, wipes, bottles, formula, pacifiers, lotions, soap, etc)
I always do baskets for showers. You can take a wicker basket , line it with diapers and fill it with wipes, diaper rash creams, maybe a diaper bag, changing pads ect for a diaper theme. Also you can do a basket with a feeding theme, fill it with bottles, bottle brushes, spoons, bowls, ect….even formula if you know what she will be using…..or breast feeding supplies, Also you can do a baby in eneral theme, shampoo, wash clothes, outfits, diapers, bottles, lotion, wipes, ect…..It will be greatly appreciated…Don’t spen your time and money on stuff that won’t be used…MOm love getting all this stufff….less they ahveto buy!
Feeding theme: Bibs, bottles, burp clothes, high chair cover for restaurants, sippy cups, baby spoons, baby plates/bowls
Sleeping theme: Blankets, pacifier, crib sheets, toy that hangs on the crib, mobile
Keepsake theme: Baby book, piggy bank, containers for first teeth and first curls, picture frame
Healthy baby theme: Thermometer, aspirator, baby pain drops, baby gas drops, medicine dropper, fingernail clippers, baby proofing stuff (cabinet locks, plugs for outlets)
Nursing mommy theme: Boppy pillow, extra Boppy cover, nursing camis, breast pads, lanolin ointment
Good luck!
You can do a feeding theme. Breast feeding: get her some breast feeding wraps/covers. Some lanolin cream (sold at walmart even).
Bottle feeding: find out which bottles she has on her registry, then get those & some nipples that go with them. A bottle/nipple brush. A dishwasher container to put the nipples and bottle parts into. A drying rack for on the counter when hand washing the bottle stuff.
Maybe buy a couple outfits and then by Dreft laundry detergent so she can wash the baby clothes in a sensitive/gentle type of detergent.
Hope this helps!!
how about a beachy theme? I had a shower last week and one of my gifts was super cute: a beach bag with a baby bikini, sun bonet, 2 bottles of baby sun screen, a baby beach towel, a little robe, a pair of sandals and a little floaty toy. I’m due in May so my baby will be pretty young for the summer but it’s a really cute idea.
