If you’re anything like us, you want to be the baby shower guest whose gift gets the most oohs and ahhs! You’ll likely have a registry to glean ideas from, but here are our tips giving the new mom in your life the perfect piece for her new nursery.

Give The Gift Of Forever Young

How many times have you heard a mom say something about wanting her little baby to stay a baby forever? It just doesn’t happen, though, does it? We suggest giving mom something that will continue to remind her of when her baby really was a baby! Think baby books, personalized blankets and anything with a handprint or footprint on them. Bonus: These things all double as cute display items in a nursery.

Give The Gift Of Sleep

When faced with buying new sheets, how many of us actually treat ourselves to the fancy ones? Same goes for babies! They deserve to feel like they’re sleeping in a high end hotel, too, so find a high thread count or organic cotton sheet that gives baby a luxurious nights’ sleep.

Give The Gift Of Cozy

For staying warm during late night feedings, or just for snuggle time, a chunky knit throw will quickly become a new mom’s best friend!

Give Her Something Unexpected

Imagine all of the little things that go into creating a nursery. From bumpers to baskets and changing tables, mom is likely thinking of the necessities, so give her something that might not be on her radar. Things like night lights, mobiles and art for the nursery walls are all pieces that are the fun pieces that bring the personality of the nursery to life!
