Buying a gift for a baby shower can be a real dilemma as you never know if the baby will enjoy the gift or not. With this article we are trying to offer you some ideas about what to buy for a baby boy or a girl. Our first suggestion would be buying batteries as a lot of the baby's necessities require power which isn't always provided by an electrical cord but by batteries, a great amount of batteries. So our gift suggestion would be buying a small toy that has batteries which are changed very easy. We recommend that you surround the toy with lots of batteries; we feel that it is a great idea so we totally recommend it.

Our second suggestions is in fact for parents as we consider that medicines are very important to the health of the baby because infants that are developing their immune systems catch a cold or worse very easy so a great present would be purchasing a gifts basket with vapor rub, acetaminophen, ibuprofen and the indispensable infant cold. Completing this package with a quick medical reference guide or with a thermometer would be ideal. This gift could be given in a children's doctor's kit form so that the ...
... kid could use the toy later on when he gets older but for the present the more important medicines can be used by the parents so this gift is the best from both worlds: child & parents.

The much needed diapers can be a great baby shower gift. We recommend purchasing them in various sizes, rash ointment - these are a lifesaver for the parents because we all know how expensive it is today to raise a child.

Food - cans of formula to jars of baby food which babies eat in a great amount in their first year of life. Preparing a gift basket filled with these foods would be highly appreciated by the parents but especially by the new born. This can also be presented with a set of play food which the child will use later on when he/she is older.

The child will be the happiest when he/she receives toys so purchasing a few toys should do the trick. However, be very attentive when choosing a toy because unfortunate accidents with toys that had small parts which were swallowed by babies have happened so we recommend that you should be very attentive and choose wisely.

Another suggestion would be giving a hand-made baby gift like a baby afghan or baby booties. Personalized gifts are quite interesting too that is why you could give a baby quilt with the baby's name and birth date embroidered on it. An alternative would be giving a silver piggy bank with the name of the baby engraved on it.

We feel that practical gifts are more important than any other gifts as the infant will surely enjoy the food or the batteries (at least indirectly) and so will the parents which won't have to pay a small fortune for these products.
