Ideas for First-Time Gift Givers

If you’ve never been to a baby shower - or even changed a nappy - buying the right baby shower gift can feel overwhelming! What’s useful? What’s unique? And what’s going to make Mum and Dad smile long after the party ends?

To help, we’ve asked real mums what they loved receiving at their own baby showers. From pampering presents to practical must-haves, here are some thoughtful and unique baby shower gift ideas to inspire you.


Something Just for Mum

Let’s be honest—Mum deserves to be spoiled. She’s carried a baby for nine months, is preparing for birth, and is about to put herself second for years to come. While most people bring something for the baby, the most memorable gifts are often for Mum herself.

Here are some perfect baby shower gift ideas for Mum:

  • Pampering treats – silk pyjamas, a voucher for a blow-dry, or a mani-pedi.

  • Jewellery – a simple, timeless piece she can wear every day.

  • Self-care gifts – bath soaks, skincare, or a cosy robe.

Trust us: give Mum something that makes her feel special, and she’ll remember it forever.


Useful Baby Shower Gifts

Practical doesn’t have to mean boring. New parents often need help with big-ticket items like:

  • Breast pumps
  • Prams and strollers
  • Car seats
  • Bassinets

These can be expensive, so consider pooling money with friends to make a group gift. Quality essentials are a smart investment - especially if more babies might be on the way.


Baby Hampers and Gift Baskets

If you’re not sure where to start, a baby shower hamper is a beautiful and easy option. Our hampers are created by a mum of two who knows exactly what new parents need. Each gift basket includes thoughtful, practical items and comes beautifully presented -ready to gift straight away.

Why hampers make great baby shower gifts:

  • Convenience -  no need to shop around, everything is included.
  • Personalisation - add baby’s initials or birthdate to the keepsake box.
  • Custom curation - choose from our individual products to create a hamper that feels personal and unique.

A baby gift basket is a wonderful way to give something that feels special without the stress of finding it all yourself.


The Gift of Time

One of the most priceless gifts you can give a new mum? Time.
When the baby arrives, even one hour of peace feels like a luxury. Consider gifting a little “IOU” book with offers such as:

  • Babysitting so Mum and Dad can have a date night.
  • Cooking dinner so she doesn’t have to.
  • Taking baby for a walk so Mum can enjoy a quiet coffee or nap.

These personal, thoughtful gifts cost nothing but mean everything.


A Baby Keepsake Box

A keepsake box is one of the most meaningful baby shower gifts. Every parent wants a safe place to store precious mementos like hospital bracelets, first photos, or a lock of hair.

Our custom-made keepsake boxes are designed to be both beautiful and practical, turning baby’s first years into a time capsule of memories. It’s the kind of gift that Mum will treasure now, and baby will treasure as an adult.
