Having a theme for gifts not only makes it easier for guests to purchase the right gift, but the expectant mother will receive gifts that she really needs and wants.
Freezer Party
As most new mothers know, there isn't a lot of time or energy to plan dinners every night. So why not help out the mother-to-be by bringing frozen casseroles, etc. that can be heated up for lunch or dinner.
Mommy Shower
This theme is ideal for mothers expecting their second baby and who have everything they need. Gifts will be for the mother and the mother only. Spoil her with bubble bath and lingerie or a gift certificate for a facial or massage.
Baby Books
Reading is an important part of every child's development and giving books as a baby shower gift is an excellent way to get the baby's library started.
Time of Day Shower
Each guest brings a gift for a specific time of the baby's day. For example, something for nap time, feeding, bedtime, etc. You could include the time on your invitations, so that guests know which time they are to buy for.
Baby's Nursery
If the expectant mother has a theme for the nursery, encourage guests to bring a gift to fit the theme. For example, Noah's Arc, teddy bears, animals, etc. You extend this idea to your shower theme and include it in your invitations and decorations.
Character
You can use any character the mother is interested in for this theme. For example, Sesame Street, Thomas, Noah's Arc, etc. You can also use this idea in your invitations.
Gift Basket
There are a lot of options for this gift theme whether you make it yourself or buy it from one of our listed merchants. You can include a variety of items from nursery items to combination mother/baby gifts.
Rainbow Theme
This is a fun idea for mothers who have decided upon a color scheme for the nursery or her baby's clothing. Choose gifts that may have a different tone to the chosen color, so that she will have a variety within the same color zone.
