There are so many potential baby presnets on the market today that it's often hard to choose what would be a perfect gift for the mother-to-be. It's not uncommon for showers associated with this celebration to be held not only before the baby is born, but after. Although there are many similarities between the two types of parties, great gifts can be quite different.

Babies grow so fast that clothing is always a good option. The problem for those attending a shower prior to the birth of the baby is knowing exactly what size to get as well as what the gender of the baby will be. Not only can size of the baby range significantly when it comes to birth weight, but their growth rate limits the amount of time they can wear that adorable 0 to 3 months size. As a rule of thumb, finding a cute outfit that ranges between nine months and 18 months is often a better choice since the baby can wear it at a later point in their life.

There are many styles, patterns, and colors available today that are appropriate regardless of gender. This has made it much easier for gift givers to find stylish and unique items that the parents ...
... may not be able to afford themselves. However, buying an expensive designer outfit is not required in order to make your gift stand out from others.

For those who are able to sew, knit, or crochet, this is the perfect opportunity to put on your designer cap. By selecting materials carefully, some of the cutest outfits can be handmade. It's important to remember in this case, however, that the materials used as well as the finishing touches are what often make an outfit unique. If a new baby's name is known, adding the initials or the name itself on the outfit will show how special the child is to you.

One of the problems many new moms have is duplication of gifts. Although blankets are needed and can be personalized, only so many can be used over the course of the baby's first couple of years. Fortunately today, baby registries are available through various stores. This allows parents to identify their needs, which is especially important if this is not the first baby. Coordinating gift choices with family and friends is also a good idea.

What has become more common is the concept of baskets. This provides an opportunity for individuals to help parents pick up the products they need that they may not think of initially. Taking a crib sheet and filling it with items such as lotions, powders, baby bath soap, and onesies then pulling ends together and tying it up with a pretty ribbon can be a pleasant surprise for any new mom.

Baby presnets provide an opportunity to share in the joy of a new baby's birth. As such, they should be memorable, special, of most of all needed. There are many options on the market today. However, by ensuring gifts are functional, thoughtful, and creative one can be sure that their gift will stand out from the crowd and be a pleasant reminder to parents of how much you care.
