Here is a great list of cheap baby shower gift ideas that won't
break the bank. Enjoy!
1.Books. Buy baby board books online for less than $5 a pop
(shipping included). Get discounted rates when buying on a
bundle.
2.Baby Clothes. Any new Mom will appreciate a set of clothes as
a baby shower gift. However, if you plan ahead, you can give the
Mom-to-be toddler clothes instead of infant sets. She'll surely
appreciate the vision. Another tip is to buy off-season, while
the clothes are on clearance. You can surely fit more than a
piece for under $10. 3. Engraved Charms. If a silver or gold
bracelet is out of your budget, why not give a personalized
jewelry charm? Choose from several shapes, with heart as being
the most popular. It can be used as a pendant or bracelet charm.
Have the baby's name and birth date engraved at the back of the
charm.
4. Basket of Goodies. In dollar stores, purchase an inexpensive
woven basket and decorate it with leftover holiday ribbons. Line
the basket with pastel confetti and fill the basket with
goodies, like purse versions of lotion, cologne, powder, diaper
pins, wet tissues, anything that the baby needs. Some of these
miniature items are grocery give-aways, so the over-all price
comes really low.
5. Painted Pots. Paint clean clay pots with pastel colors and
use stencils to place simple designs. Give a set of three to
give the Mom-to-be a handy desktop storage for cotton balls,
Qtips, diaper pins, etc.
6. Hand or footprint kit. These are kits that have materials to
imprint the baby's hands or feet onto framed shadowboxes. Most
kits are at $10.
7. Framed Cross-Stitch. For a personal touch, buy cross-stitch
materials and sew the baby's name and birth date on a rectangle
piece of cloth. Have it framed for a lasting gift. If you are
short of time, give her a short and sweet note written on a copy
of the pattern to say, "gift is work-in-progress, will be done
in time for his/ her birth."
8. Plant a Tree. Various government-sponsored companies are
promoting tree planting and this is definitely a great gift for
a baby shower. Most tree planting gifts come with a certificate
complete with the baby's name and a personalized dedication.
Some companies offer a dollar for every tree, so your $10 can
buy 10 trees. Now that's a guarantee of fresh air for the baby's
future.
9. Baby Website. For the tech savvy Mom-to-be, create a free
website for the future newborn. This gift will last until the
baby grows up and can personally edit his or her website. If you
know that the parents already have a web host, why not pay for
the domain registration of the baby's name so for the next five
years, the future new born will have his or her own e-niche.
10. Pamper Mom, Too! Who says baby shower gifts are only for
babies? Be creative by giving the Mom-to-be a gift, instead of
the baby. After all, the occasion is, in fact, a celebration of
her strength and dedication in carrying another life for nine
months. Dollar stores frequently offer pampering gift baskets or
customize your own, similar to the basket of goodies described
above.
