Baby Showers are often about gifts for the baby -- blankets, onesies, teddy bears and toys are all welcome gifts but consider a thoughtful gift for mom as well.
After enduring 9 months of pregnancy, and in anticipation of life with a new baby, mom might enjoy a little pampering herself. A baby shower provides a great opportunity to remind her that although she will be very busy, she also needs to take care of herself and take a little time to relax. There are so many great gift ideas that celebrate a new baby while also providing a special gift for mom. These are a few of our favorites;
1. Necklace or bracelet with child's/children's name engraved makes a thoughtful, sentimental gift.
2. Books about parenting (funny is always a hit) or the recent book "Raising Baby Green" for the eco-conscious mom.
3. Luxurious pampering gift basket from the Body Shop or favorite store filled with bubble bath, relaxation cd and some candles.
4. Teething Bling by SmartMom lets mom look fashionable while keeping a teething baby busy as they are being carried around.
5. LaborKit for when the shower is before baby arrives. This provides everything mom needs for labor and delivery including a DVD on caring for a new baby.
