Help! Need Gift Ideas for Mom to Be ~ Shower is next week.  email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 98/100. EvrWonder (1930)   ranked 149 out of 19,273 in questions & answers 3 years ago

A new baby is about to arrive. The baby shower is next week.
I need help, please my fellow MyLot members.
I have no idea what to get.
I am thinking a nice facial scrub with perhaps a relaxing bath gel, like Pine.
Baby books so the Mom can read stories to her baby or a Baby book but
Not just any baby book as I am almost positive she will receive at least a few.
I heard of a Hallmark baby book that stories can be added to, a Story baby Book.
Has anyone heard of these?
What other ideas can you please share with me?

It is hard to say without knowing the Mom. If you are going to do a book I would suggest getting a hard back classic picture book to start a library so it can be there for years.

Is this the first child?

Does the family have real needs?

We need more informationhappy

Hi Trensue, thank you for your response.
Yes, first baby and young working couple that, sure, they have needs. A very supportive family who are not hurting for cash necessarily either.
I like the idea of the hard cover books and the reasons therefore, good idea. Thank you!
Anything more, just ask. I have never been a Mom so i don't know what to add :0

I just had my baby shower on last month and i got some great gifts heres 3 top gift ideas i really enjoyed myself....

Koala Baby Imrpints memory Book.- This is from Babies R Us and i have already been able to fill has of it out. Its one of the best baby books i came across and Im so glad i received it.

Earth Mama Angel baby Postpartum bath herbs- This is for the bath tub for mom. Its basically an herbal bubble bath and come with different feet relaxing formulas for tired feet and whatnot. I love it so much.

Leacho Snoogle Mini- Compact side sleeper- This is my favorite! Being so uncomfortable while sleeping i found this very useful. Its just an S shaped pillow basically that i can lay my head on and than it goes in between my knees. Its very restful. I don't know what i would do without it.

I hope you find the perfect gift for this mom-to-be!Congrats to her and good luck.

Nice and Congrats to you too!
I like the ideas that you have mentioned.
This is perfect.
I like the bath and pillow idea but the book too. The only thing with the book is that I think she will already be getting a number of them.
I should ask everyone in the family if anyone is getting her a baby book.
I think I am going to sus out the pillow idea.
Thank you!

Why dont you buy some flute music dvds to her? It gives relaxation to her heart and her new born baby. Search for "how to name it" album,which was composed by the great Indian Music director Ilayaraja.


myLot reputation of 98/100. EvrWonder (1930)   ranked 149 out of 19,273 in questions & answers  3 years ago

Excellent! This is a fabulous idea. I am not sure how she would react as she is quite young. I can understand and surely appreciate the idea however. Nice idea, thank you. I will look into this.


myLot reputation of 99/100. PurpleTeddyBear (4613)   ranked 3,932 out of 19,273 in questions & answers  3 years ago

Flute or classical music is a great idea! My daughter has listened to classical music every night as she falls asleep and she will be 3 in June. They say that classical music makes your baby smart too! Couldn't hurt! happy


myLot reputation of 98/100. EvrWonder (1930)   ranked 149 out of 19,273 in questions & answers  3 years ago

Flute music would be nice. I bet the baby would like it. I know of some too. Thank you for this idea and for your response.


myLot reputation of 98/100. EvrWonder (1930)   ranked 149 out of 19,273 in questions & answers  3 years ago

I got the flute music! Three CD's. Thanks.

Do you know if the baby is going to be a boy or a girl? If so you could buy an outfit or two accordingly or if you don't know you could always get neutral colors. You could put together a gift basket of baby wash, rubber duckies for the tub, baby oil, moisturizer for baby, baby wash cloths and towels, baby powder, etc. Books, toys, a mobile for the crib, a baby blanket, or receiving blankets are also a nice gift idea for an expectant mother happy


myLot reputation of 98/100. EvrWonder (1930)   ranked 149 out of 19,273 in questions & answers  3 years ago

Yes we know it is going to be a girl. I had already thought of baby cloths. Good idea. She already has a ton but I think a gift basket for her and the baby will be in the works.
I am thinking hard about nice gifts for an expectant mother. The basket must contain them as well. Thank you for your response. I appreciate your ideas.


myLot reputation of 99/100. PurpleTeddyBear (4613)   ranked 3,932 out of 19,273 in questions & answers  3 years ago

Your more then welcome for my ideas, hope they helped :)


myLot reputation of 98/100. EvrWonder (1930)   ranked 149 out of 19,273 in questions & answers  3 years ago

Yes! They sure did, thank you. Instead of a basket though, I am getting a baby bathing basin. The good ones that are formed to let the baby sit up and a place for the little legs to go over, supporting the "V" under the knees. It has indents on the bottom to go over the kitchen sink. Excited. Thank you for the gift basket idea! Cheers.

First off thanks very much for best response, and secondly using a baby bath tub instead of a bazsket is a great idea! I was thinking of it when I suggested it but for some reason I never wrote it out! Glad you have your gift idea, and I hope you have fun at the shower!
