Unique Baby Shower Diaper Cakes

A baby shower is a time to celebrate the anticipated new arrival.  It’s also a time to choose among the many excellent baby shower gifts that are available. A great baby shower gift should stand out from the crowd, contain quality and practical products, and be memorable long after baby is born.

7 Best Baby Shower Gifts

1. Moses Basket:  A quality Moses Basket is one of my top baby shower gifts. These sturdy wicker baskets with included bedding provide a cozy & safe place for baby to sleep during the first few months.  The big attraction of a Moses Basket is that it can be moved from room to room.  This gives parents the flexibility of having baby with them in any room of the house.  A Moses Basket filled with layette is an even better choice. You can find beautiful Moses Basket baby shower gifts at Silly Phillie®.

2. Baby Shower Clothesline: This unique baby gift idea gets a lot of attention at a baby shower.  A “clothesline” filled with layette items is designed to be hung as decoration at the shower for everyone to see. If you’re creative and so inclined, you can make one yourself. Simply purchase a group of coordinated layette items then hang each from a string or ribbon. If you like the idea but don’t want to go through the trouble, Silly Phillie® offers a full assortment of adorable Clothesline Baby Shower Gifts. 

3. Baby Car Seat: A safe car seat is a must for every new baby and one of the best baby shower gifts you can give. A car seat that’s safe and versatile is even better.  The  Graco SnugRide Classic Connect 30 and the Chicco KeyFit 30 are two highly rated car seats that make travelling with baby hassle & worry free.  Each is a complete baby carrying system and both are a 2015 Mom’s Pick at BabyCenter.com.  You can also use the  car seat as a basket of sorts,  and fill it with other items to make your gift even more special.

4. Baby shower Diaper Cake: A well made diaper cake is one of the more fun and practical baby shower gifts. A diaper cake also makes a fantastic baby shower centerpiece so try to choose one that’s compatible with the theme of the shower. When shopping for diaper cakes, make sure the one you purchase includes plenty of diapers plus quality layette items & accessories for baby. Silly Phillie® offers a complete assortment of made to order baby shower diaper cakes.

5. Baby monitors:  These safety devices enable parents to keep tabs on baby while they’re in another room. Having one gives the new parents peace of mind throughout the infant stage and well beyond. Monitors typically come with a transmitter and one or two receivers. The better monitors transmit both video and audio. Baby monitors are very easy to set up.

6. Books & Music:  Filling baby’s world with music and books is a wonderful way to stimulate growth. Scientific studies suggest that reading books, playing music, and even singing songs to babies helps them recognize language at an earlier age. There are many great choices. In music, I like colorful toys that encourage baby to press buttons to play a different selection of music. My favorites in books are  “Corduroy”,  “The Very Hungry Caterpillar”, “Close Your Eyes”, ” Go Dog Go & so many more.

7. Rocking Horse Baby Gifts: When in doubt a Rocking Horse never fails to be a fantastic baby shower gift idea. And why not?  A wood rocking horse is large and beautiful, it makes a wonderful  keepsake toy as baby grows, and some come personalized & decorated with layette items for baby. The wide appeal of rocking horse baby gifts was more thoroughly touched upon in a previous post on sillyphillie.com.

The above is a list of my favorite baby shower gifts.  It’s a good place to start your search. Another avenue to explore is to find out if the parents set up a gift registry. If so you may want to choose an item off their list. If this is a baby shower for a first born child, the parents need practically everything.  Don’t be afraid to use your creativity when deciding upon your next baby shower gift.
