10 Cute & Unique Baby Shower Gifts to Give
If you’ve ever been to a baby shower (or had one, two, or three thrown for you), then you know the gamut of gifts you receive can really span the spectrum. In a lot of ways, it’s all the same stuff. Swaddle blankets, pacifiers, books, toys, diapers, wash cloths, and onesies - and, of course, all the things you asked for on your registry. I loved everything we got, but I am also a huge sucker for cute, unique gifts that you don’t just get every day or even knew existed!
The next time you’re in the market for a baby shower gift (or if you’re just looking for your own little), here are 10 gifts I recommend!
Custom Baby Name Sweatshirt Romper:
The minute I saw these on Etsy I just about died and went to heaven. Not only are they completely adorable, they’re customized! I would have bought it immediately, but we don’t know if we’re having a boy or girl and therefore don’t know baby’s name, but if the mom/dad-to-be have shared this with you, this is a top contender from Tiny Kind Company.
Price: $34.90
Sweater Colors: Oatmeal, Sage Green, Sedona & Gray
Thread Colors: Cream, Blush Pink, Maroon, Gold, Green, Black
Sizes: 0-24 Months
Silicone Bottle Labels
(3-Pack)
I have never seen these before and *just had* to include them for their uniqueness factor! While baby likely won’t be using these for a while, it’s so different I don’t think the parents-to-be will mind stashing these away until the time comes. Imagine having this on your bottle at a family gathering (or birthday party) with oodles of kids! These silicone labels from Get Sew Crafty on Etsy come in a bunch of different colors and you can even pick your own three. They also offer a wavy (like in the photo) or straight edge.
Price: Starting at $22.99
Mama & Mini Matching Embroidered Sweatshirt & Onesie
This little set is très cute, especially because each - sweater and onesie - can be worn on its own without baby/mom wearing the matching piece at the same time. I am not usually a fan of things that say “mama” on them, but something about the simplicity of this just called to my minimalist aesthetic heart & if your gal pal is anything like me, it will call to hers too!
Price: $24.30 (Onesie) + $31.90 (Sweatshirt)
Colors: Beige Sweatshirt, White Onesie
Sizes: 0-7T & Adult S-XL
Montessori Sensory Quiet/Busy Book
Hands down one of our favorite gifts from all three of our baby showers was a “busy book” that was custom made for us. It was something I didn’t even think to ask for or quite frankly, remembered existed. But the thought that went into the book just couldn’t be beat. These can be a little spendy if you get them customized, but it is well worth it. My husband literally hugged the book and said, “Aww, baby is going to love it so much! I love it so much.”
This aesthetic busy book is from Kinderkrama on Etsy and isn’t the only one in her store!
Price: Starting at $65
Personalized Wooden Name Puzzle
These adorable puzzles are so fun for the kiddos. My favorite thing about them are obviously the customization, but also that they last for years to come! There are so many different options (and price points) on Etsy, but this set with the cute animals is from JandEKids. Aside from animals, they have other puzzles that include sports, fruit, and many other shapes! PS: I am also a huge sucker for this baby neutral alphabet puzzle.
Price: Starting at $45.50
Monthly Milestones
If you’re shopping for an Instagram or boho mama (or both), I highly recommend these monthly milestones from Simply Cherish Shop on Etsy! They are so chic and I love the minimalist vibes. She also has other fun signs like “My First Christmas” and “My First New Year,” that would also make great gifts! PS: I’m getting this set for myself.
Price: Starting at $44
Pennant Flag
If you know baby’s name, I love this for nursery decor! I think this makes for such a unique baby shower gift, because it’s a great and fun alternative to the wooden name signs we are so used to seeing hanging above baby’s crib. This pennant flag From FellowFlagCo. on Etsy is my favorite! They also have flags that offer customization with first and middle names and different font options.
Price: $36
Custom Growth Chart
I love this as a unique baby shower gift from DreamOnTheWall. The best thing is, if you don’t know baby’s name yet, you can always have it say “Baby Parker” (Parker being their last name), “Parker Kids,” or even “Parker Family.” I also really appreciate that you don’t have to do it on the wall. Meaning when, or if, they move, they can bring this beautiful sentimental keepsake with them.
Price: $102
Mommy + Me Bracelets
This is such a darling baby shower gift for mama and her mini. There are all kinds of different ones out there, but I love this set! It’s chic, can be dressed up our down, and it’s nice and solid. There are some other Mommy + Me bracelet sets with beads, or little charms, but seeing as this is for a child, I’d prefer to keep the choke hazards to a minimum. This set is one of many from MountainMoverz on Etsy! I also recommend the engraved set, so cute.
Price: Starting at $146
New Parent Decision Coin
This might be more of an add-on to your baby shower gift than something you’d give on its own, but I just thought this was too unique (and cute) of a baby shower gift to not list! It is so simple, but I can almost guarantee it would get lots and lots of use. There are many different versions on Etsy, but this is by CherishUs.
