Best baby shower gifts
Selecting the perfect baby shower gift can feel like a delicate balance: thoughtful yet useful, personal yet appropriate. While gift registries serve a purpose, the most enduring presents often come from looking beyond the list – think considered, beautifully made, and quietly meaningful.
Whether you're shopping for a first-time parent or someone adding to their growing family, this guide goes beyond the basics. From sentimental keepsakes to clever, can’t-live-without finds, we’ve gathered a selection of gift ideas designed to delight – the kind that spark joy now and become cherished favourites later.

Baby shower gift ideas for mum
It’s easy to focus solely on the baby, but some of the most appreciated gifts are the ones that put mum first. A pair of soft, cosy socks or a bottle of Neom’s bath foam can offer a small but meaningful moment of calm in the lead-up to birth. Add in a beautifully made robe or a set of elevated loungewear and you’ve got a gift that feels both thoughtful and indulgent.
When it comes to the baby, classic gifts still hold their charm. An animal music mobile makes a lovely addition to any nursery, while soft cotton sleepsuits, wooden rattles or a set of tactile developmental toys are both stylish and useful. For a more personal touch, a storybook or embroidered blanket adds just the right amount of sentiment.

Baby shower gift basket ideas
For a gift that feels both personal and refined, consider curating your own baby shower gift basket. A ‘bathtime essentials’ theme might include a plush shawl, gentle baby wash and a natural sponge, while a ‘bedtime stories’ basket could feature a playful book, a calming sleep spray and a soft knitted toy.
A fresh fruit and date basket is another elegant option – thoughtful, nourishing and ideal for the mum-to-be. The same approach works beautifully for gift bags, offering a smaller but equally thoughtful gesture.
Curated for gifting

Gender reveal gift ideas
With gender reveal parties growing in popularity, there’s more space than ever to get creative with your gift. Presents for these occasions tend to be gender-neutral – think cotton sleepsuits, soft blankets or beautifully designed nursery books that work for any baby.
It’s also a chance to move away from the traditional and explore something a little different, whether that’s a handmade keepsake or a well-curated bundle of essentials. And if you’re still unsure, a gift card is always a thoughtful choice – practical, flexible and always appreciated.
