Cool Baby Shower Gift

Tips for finding cool baby shower gifts that will make a big impression without costing a lot of money.
Choosing a baby shower gift isn't always easy. There are so many choices out there, and many of them come with a sizeable price tag. If you are looking for the perfect gift on a budget, these ideas for picking a cool baby shower gift are definitely for you!

Stick To The Basics

You can buy essential items and still have a cool shower gift. In fact, if you ask new parents they may tell you that the must- have items top any list of awesome gifts! Basic doesn't have to mean boring. Consider these ways to shop and save for a cool baby shower gift!

Clothing with character - A funny onesie or baby tee such as "Dad's future caddy" for the golfer or "Just hatched" for the newborn will have the same impact as a whole pack of plain clothes for a portion of the price.

Silly essentials - Diaper rash cream is a lot more fun when you opt for the "Butt Paste" version. It's the same basic product with a really cool twist!

Shop smart - You can get three bottles of baby shampoo at a dollar store for the price of one at a specialty store. Make a big impact by stocking up for the parents- to- be and spend less at the same time!

Give The Unexpected

Every cool shower gift doesn't have to be for the baby! Don't forget about the new parents when you're making your list - a particularly useful strategy when you consider that most of the shopping is for the newest member of the family. Here are some gifts that might not make the top of the list, but will certainly be appreciated!

Restaurant and take out gift certificates - There will be days when no one feels like cooking, so this gift might be the favorite cool baby shower gift of them all!

A night out - Offer to baby sit the newborn and any other children in the mix, then send the new parents out for a movie.

Work With A Theme

How else can you get away with giving something as inexpensive as a pack of washcloths and make it look so good? The best part is that most of these items can be found at dollar stores.

Bath time gifts - shampoo, washcloths, baby bath, a hooded towel, and lotion

Grooming gifts - nail clippers, hair brush, nail and regular scissors

Play time gifts - a play mat, rattles, and musical toys

Follow these tips, and you'll be first at the door with a cool baby shower gift that won't break the bank!
