Baby Shower Gifts You Can’t Go Wrong With

Baby Shower Gifts You Can’t Go Wrong With

Baby showers are such a joyful time to celebrate new life — and shower parents-to-be with the love (and supplies!) they’ll soon need. But if you’ve ever stared at a registry wondering what’s “the right gift,” you’re not alone. While cute outfits and toys are tempting, sticking to the essentials almost always wins.

Here are a few baby shower gifts that parents will truly appreciate:


1. Diapers

It may not feel glamorous, but diapers are gold for new parents. Babies go through hundreds in the first few weeks, so an extra box is never wasted.


2. Wipes

Like diapers, wipes are something parents use constantly. A few packs on hand means one less 2 a.m. store run.


3. Gift Cards for Food Delivery

Between sleepless nights and newborn care, cooking often takes a back seat. A gift card to their favorite food delivery service gives parents one less thing to worry about.


4. Books for Baby

Reading to a baby builds language, connection, and routine from the very start. A board book makes a thoughtful, lasting gift — one that can become part of nightly storytime. Our My First Tummy Time book was designed to both engage babies and give parents practical tips during this important milestone.


Why Sticking to the Registry Matters

Registries aren’t just wish lists — they’re carefully chosen items that fit the family’s needs, style, and space. While it’s fun to surprise new parents, choosing gifts from the registry ensures you’re giving something they’ll actually use. Think of it as a way to support them on their terms.


💡 Parent Tip: Essentials might not always look flashy when wrapped, but they’re the gifts parents will thank you for again and again.
