Little boys may be made of snips and snails and puppy dogs` tails, but this beloved nursery rhyme doesn’t help baby shower invitees decide on the perfect gifts for boys.
Although most parents register for gifts prior to the baby shower date, giving you a better idea of the items they require, some guests choose to be creative and buy something a bit more personal for the expected bundle of joy.
Ideas For Boys Baby Shower Gifts
Personalized gift baskets always go over well at baby showers. Choose stuffed animals, blankets and picture frames in hues of light blue. Packed into a sweet, cradle-shaped basket, this gift will be a pleasant surprise for the expecting parents.
Add an extra sweet touch by personalizing one of the items, such as having the baby boy`s name embroidered on the blanket.
An old-fashioned wooden rocking horse is an exciting addition for not only the baby, but for the nursery as well. The expectant mother will love it for its decorative purposes in the nursery, where it will also be the perfect welcome home gift for that little man.
He’ll certainly appreciate it once he gets old enough to play with it.
Ornaments are sweet keepsakes. They are affordable on any budget and can be personalized with the baby`s name, birth date and weight. Opt for ornaments like blue baby shoes instead of holiday-themed ornaments so they can be displayed in the nursery throughout the year.
Baby Shower Gifts For The Future
Most parents don’t want to think about their newborn growing up before their eyes, but a thoughtful baby shower guest will recognize the value of a keepsake growth chart. Find out the nursery theme to better match the baby room décor and colors and personalize the growth chart with the baby’s name.
A high-quality, wooden growth chart will make an amazing keepsake and will be used by the family for years to come.
A patchwork quilt is another gift that can be personalized for baby. Whether you make it yourself or order it from companies that specialize in custom quilt design and personalization, a handmade quilt can be used in the crib, in the stroller, at nap-time and in that very first big boy bed.
Sports Themed Baby Shower Gifts
If the baby’s parents are rabid sports fans, make a splash at the baby shower by giving sports-themed baby gifts. Onesies, bibs, burp cloths and baby hats come in all sorts of designs and themes, many of which feature specific sports teams, NASCAR themes and even camouflage patterns for outdoors men.
The baby shower is one of the best parts of pregnancy, so make your gift memorable by knowing the parents` preferences and tastes. If in doubt, go for a personalized keepsake item.
