Baby shower gifts can be tricky to find; your friend is pregnant and you want your gift to go into the 'gifting hall of fame'. Here's where we come in...
Choosing baby shower gift ideas is different from any other gift buying you may have done. This time you’re thoughtfully picking items that will be useful, help to make family memories, or maybe teach a baby a skill or two. Ultimately the gift you choose should make the new parent and their upcoming addition happy, relaxed, and/or free of stress, such as one of the best swaddles or best breast pumps - sleeping and feeding can be tricky. And if they already have children, you might want to surprise them with a gift so they don't feel forgotten about in the newborn flurry — here's our edit of deals on Amazon, John Lewis, M&S, Boots and more.
With this in mind, we spoke to a number of parents when compiling our gift guide, seeking their advice on what they'd like to have received as a baby shower gift - plus the useful items they now gift to fellow moms and dads in preparation for parenthood.
Consumer Editor at Goodto.com, Heidi Scrimgeour tells us: "Buying a baby shower gift can be a minefield; do you go with a gift specifically for a pregnant mum, a new baby gift or some kind of post-baby treat that she can use on the other side? The answer really depends on the mum in question. If she's a skincare queen, go for pampering treats. If motherhood is a huge lifestyle change go for something personalised that she can treasure after the baby arrives. And if she's already a busy mum, treat her to something to help her take care of herself post-baby."
Baby Shower Gifts - as recommended by parents
1. Tuppence and Crumble Star Baby Wrap Lavender
Why we love it? As baby shower gift ideas go this is a great choice. It's so easy to use, this star blanket has no zips or poppers and is suitable for use from birth. They're machine washable and a huge hit for most parents, no fussing with poppers or trying to get teeny newborn arms into sleeves.
Teacher Charlotte, who lives in the West Midlands, loved the Star wrap fleece she was bought as a gift. So much so, she’s used it now for both her babies: ‘I got so many great baby shower gifts but these are amazing. I use them all through the year. They’re especially great for the car as you can’t put your child in a car seat in a bulky coat, so instead I wrap them up warm in this.’
2. Hayley & Co Little Animal Dribble Bib
Why we love it? There really are two types of best baby shower gifts, one for mum and one for baby. But these adorable unisex dribble bibs will come in handy for any new mum around the 4-6 month 'teething' mark. The cotton pieces come in various different designs including a fox, fish and cat.
Dribbling never looked so cute and as mum-of-two Amy told us: "Like muslins, you can never have enough dribble bibs - they make the best baby shower gifts! Plus they brighten up a neutral outfit. I treated them as ties on my little one - they 'added interest' to an otherwise meh look."
3. Corkcicle Origins Coffee Mug
Why we love it? As best baby shower gifts go this is the holy grail of parenting gifts. Mum-of-two Lucy from Telford tells us; “I listened to all my other new mum friends complain about microwaving their coffee every day. But I couldn't join in, as my friend had bought this for me as a baby shower gift. My coffee stayed hot for hours! And, great news, it can hold one Starbucks Grande latte.”
As gifts for new mums go, this has over 110 reviews on Amazon which have led to a 4.5 out of star rating. The triple insulated mug, while not designed for travelling, is perfect to keep your drink hot while you’re distracted… with a new baby.
4. bbhugme Organic Non-Toxic Pregnancy Body Pillow
Why we love it? One of the best baby shower gift ideas - it's a bit of a cult buy among mums. This pillow was designed by a chiropractor, so you can rest assured it’s been made with comfort in mind. While many might see it as a breastfeeding pillow, this is also an amazing buy for the last few months of pregnancy when the bump is heavy and even laying on your side is a pain. Abbie from Cornwall loved the friend who gave this at her baby shower; "It’s genuinely amazing and worth every penny. I use it even now my child is four - it's comfy to sit back on when scrolling my phone before bed."
Plus, Goodto's consumer editor, Heidi Scrimgeour, says: "We’re huge fans of this stylish, versatile nursing pillow. It ticks so many boxes – it’s eco-friendly, you can adjust the firmness, and the cover is machine washable. If you’ve had a c-section, this is definitely the nursing pillow you need."
5. aden + anais 100% Cotton Muslin Swaddles - Pack of 4
Why we love it? As best baby shower gifts go a muslin cloth is a fail-safe that’s bound to get lots of use and based on feedback we got from mums, aden + anais is one of people’s favourite muslin brands for silky-soft cloths in gorgeous patterns.
We asked mum-of-one Steph which was a stand out gift for her and she was adamant these gorgeous, good quality muslin cloths proved to be the best baby shower gift she received – and one of the most used! "You just use them for literally everything and need one to hand at all times." she says.
"The extra large ones were the best, we used them for swaddling, burping, covering the fancy-pants baby bouncer so the coconut oil you've just slathered on baby's head for cradle cap doesn't stain, and as a scarf when I didn't realise how cold it was - the possibilities are really endless. My son still sleeps with his now and I'm so grateful I have four versions of the same one!’
6. Tommee Tippee Groegg USB Thermometer
This room thermometer is designed to help maintain the perfect sleep environment - between 16-20 degrees Celsius according to the NHS - for babies. It subtly notifies parents by changing colour as to whether the temperature in a room is too low, too high or just right.
Dad-of-two Lee loves this clever gadget, "We used it every night when our son was in our room for the first 6 months. Trying to keep a room temperature just right for a brand new baby is a pressure I knew I wasn't good under, so this really helped! Though I did feel trolled by it throughout the heatwave when it just stayed bright red. There was literally nothing we could do, we were all sleeping on the sun's surface."
7. Neutrum Bea Bespoke Baby Gift Keepsake Box
Why we love it? There's nothing quite like a bespoke goodie and this DIY baby hamper proves so. Inside new parents will find a cotton muslin tassel blanket, bear socks, elephant socks and a Hello World wooden plaque. You then have the choice between a cute baby hat or animal themed comforter - depending on what you think will make the perfect gift for your recipient.
New mum Hannah tells us that 'it was the most gorgeous gift' she received at her baby shower - so much so she now gifts them to other mums-to-be!
8. Wiltshire Farm Foods
Why we love it? The best thing Olivia from London received as a gift - help with remembering to actually eat a meal on all the days you’re trying to function on chocolate biscuits, coffee and very little sleep.
"As best baby shower gifts go this was one of the best things I received; a week's worth of frozen meals - an actual God send for when I had no time to think let alone actually shop, prep and cook! I was existing otherwise on food I could eat one handed."
Wiltshire Farm Foods deliver delicious starters, mains and puds and hundreds of varied menu options whatever their taste. Build your own package or choose a pre-prepared bundle.
9. The Gro Company Ollie The Owl Grosnug 2-in-1 Swaddle and Newborn Grobag
Why we love it? As best baby shower gifts go, this is a great gift for a bit further down the line as baby grows. Temperature is a big deal to babies and they won't hesitate to let you know if they're too hot or too cold. This is why Grobags are a brilliant invention as they're like a wearable blanket. The baby is secured inside the bag with either a zip or poppers so they can't slip under the covers or kick them off and they can still move around comfortably.
They've also won lots of awards and work with the FSID (the UK's leading cot death research charity) to ensure they're as safe as possible and come in different togs (warmth). Suitable from birth as long as the baby weighs 8lb 8oz. Prices vary depending on the size, tog and design.
Mum-of-two, Dee says her friend earned a few brownie points with this: "A fellow mum-friend gave us a Grobag at my baby shower, it was a complete bed time game changer for us. It kept our little one so snug, and as she grew was a great signaller that we were getting ready for bed. I upgraded as she got bigger, and got different sized togs for the seasons. And, when she was standing up her Grobag stopped her getting her leg over the cot and trying to climb out - double whammy winner, as it kept her safe too."
10. The White Company Hydrocotton Baby Robe
Why we love it? Made from hydrocotton, a pure cotton material, this adorable hooded robe is absorbent and fast drying. Featuring two pockets, because that's just what baby needs. A tiny tie belt and little teddy ears on the hood it’s the perfect thing to wrap up a baby straight out of the bath and give off baby Hugh Heff vibes.
New parent Paul loves it, he tells us: "This is one of the best baby gifts we received because it's a little luxury we probably wouldn't have purchased ourselves."
11. H&M 5-pack long-sleeved bodysuits
Why we love it? When it comes to buying baby grows always be sure to gift a few months older, new parents are usually completely covered for the first month but as their child grows (fast!) they'll appreciate anything 3 months+ they can turn too. And we adore these bright styles. Again, something parents probably wouldn't buy which is why it makes the best baby shower gift to give.
Mum-of-twins, Lou loves this chic style; "I know it sounds silly but I really didn't realise that babies grow so fast! Keeping on to top of what fits and doesn't is a huge and constant audit and stock take, so I always appreciated the friends who bought bigger, it was a huge help when I was caught short on baby grows that suddenly didn't fit."
This super cute 5-pack gives a variety of colourful choices for parents of baby boys and girls. Sizes start from 0-1 month going up to 3-4 years and they're made from 100% organic cotton, making it both stylish and kind to skin too.
12. Tabiger Black and White Baby Cloth Book
Why we love it? As best baby shower gifts go this is a goodie. Did you know that just after birth, a baby sees only images that are 8-12 inches from their face and in black and white, with shades of gray. As the months go by, they slowly start to develop their colour vision - this happens at around 4 months, according to research by the American Optometric Association.
Gifting this black and white book will keep the newest addition to your friend's like mesmerised while she can - hopefully - enjoy the basics of a hot shower and a hot coffee.
13. Nuby Penguin Tummy Time Pillow
Why we love it? Tummy time, as your soon-to-be new parent friend will find out, is a huge deal in parenting circles - talked about at length. Tummy time is ultimately about helping baby to strengthen their core and neck muscles and it's positively encouraged by health visitors. But to make it fun for all, babies tend to hate it. So gifting this little bumper buddy might make your friend's life that little bit easier around the four month mark, with bolsters and bumpers.
Mum-of-one Kiran tells us how 'tummy time' was the bane of her early motherhood days; "I still shudder at the phrase tummy time, I'd never heard of. But it's a big deal apparently. And this bumper, which I received as a baby shower gift, worked wonders. My little one loved trying to reach for the toys."
14. Polarn O. Pyret Baby GOTS Organic Cotton Pear Bodysuit
Why we love it? Summer is coming and this colourful pear-print little babygro is perfect for brighter days. It's also hiding a secret... the super soft and organic cotton, is comfy and clever with fold-down cuffs and an extra row of poppers to give growing room. Meaning, as long as baby doesn't poo-nami and write this one off - your mummy friend will get longer with it.
Mum-of-three, Susie Verrill sings this brands praises; "I started shopping with them when Rex was born and I don't think there's ever been something I've bought fro this brand that I haven't been able to hand down. They have an extra layer of poppers so you can tighten or make it loose as baby grows."
15. Pushchair Lambskin Liner
Why we love it? As best baby shower gifts go this is up there as pure luxe. Now, we know it seems like it won't but this will keep your little one cool in the summer and cosy warm in the winter. It's 100% lambs wool and one of the best budget buys on the market. The ultra soft texture of the Australian Merino lambskin will ensure baby travels in comfort, and it protects your best pram from spillages. This is machine washable too.
Though, mum-of-one Emma warns don't be careless; "The rules are pretty strict on the John Lewis site; 'Wash with a specialist lambskin detergent. Leave to dry naturally, out of direct sunlight. Hand or machine wash on a cool cycle- do not exceed 40 degrees. Do not use soap or biological washing powder or fabric conditioner'. Definitely follow this. I ruined my first one but I loved it so much I purchased another. Well worth it."
16. Braun Thermoscan 7 Age Precision In-Ear thermometer
Why we love it? A true MVP for any parent, this thermometer deserves the 'Most Valuable Player' accolade as it is truly a brilliant buy. Mum-of-one Lisa always gifts it at baby showers; "Thermometers are something I as a new parent, didn't really think about. It's not until you are up at 2am with a screaming baby and panicking about a potential raging temperature that you realise the value of a decent thermometer. I spent so much on three other cheaper alternatives, when I should have just come to this one - it beat them all."
17. Shnuggle Baby Bath with Plug
Why we love it? As best baby shower gifts go this is the practical gift to end all practical gifts. Created by parents, this stylish deep ‘bucket-style’ bath can be used as a standalone or in the bath or in a shower tray. Lasting from birth to 12 months it makes washing your little one a breeze.
Mum-of-two Louise explains how this baby gift doubled up on the day; "I remember vividly that my SIL set this up as my gift at my baby shower filled with ice and bottles of champagne in it. I still chuckle when I think about it. But it was a great gift - I had to use it up on the table as I had a c section but it lasted us a long time."
18. The little Tailor Cotton Pointelle Baby Blanket
Why we love it? A cellular cotton blanket is an ideal choice from baby shower gift ideas. Cellular just means lightwight with holes in it. These allow baby to keep warm but enable air flow and should baby somehow man age to get the blanket over their face, the blanket by design has holes for air to flow.
Mum-of-two Denise was sick of the sight of blankets by the time her baby was born; "We had so many cellular blankets given to us, we kept them as mementos. And the large one we were gifted has become my boys' 'sick blanket'. They love to snuggle in when they feel a little under the weather."
19. Zip up baby grows
Why we love it? Again, buy baby grows a few months older than newborn - it will help the future new parents, trust us. And go for zips, like these neutral 100% cotton ones.
Mum-of-one, Saanvi admits; "I lost count the amount of times by child's baby grow outsmarted me at 2am and I'd poppered him up all wrong... it was so soul destroying having to unpop and pop him back up again. Zips all the way!"
20. OXO Tot On-The-Go Wipes Dispenser
Why we love it? As best baby shower gifts go this clever dispenser is a keeper. Using it means wipes on hand for quick access on the go. With a large button for easy, one-handed opening and a silicone tether that securely attaches the dispenser to pram handles or changing bag straps.
Mum-of-one Jen loved this handy travel compact; "Sometimes I didn't need to take the whole changing bag with me, just a nappy and this and we were good to pop to the loos and back again without a whole production. Plus when I had my second it was so handy to have wipes attached to the buggy for when my toddler needed wiping clean on the go."
21. Lara & Ollie silicone teething bangle
Why we love it? As best baby shower gifts go this is useful and chic. Your soon-to-be new mum friend will realise that a teething baby will literally chomp on anything to hand. So having a teething-friendly bangle will save a lot of worrying.
Mum-of-one, Kate says; "I wish I'd had one of these. I remember my first born ruined a locket I had on chomping down on it, I had to get the dent knocked out at a jewellers. Now I always gift these or the necklace version."
22. Paula Silicone Pacifiers
Why we love it? Many mums will declare they won't be using dummies, and whether they do or don't is a-okay. It's sometimes good - if you can - to have these things to hand just in case. And these beautiful modern silicone dummies are perfect for the stylish soon-to-be mum in your life. They're probably something parents wouldn't buy themselves making them the best present.
23. Organic Zoo Milk organic-cotton babygrow
Why we love it? As best baby shower gifts go this is a cute gift for the chic friend in your life who's about to have a mini me. We adore the font across this neutral baby grow. Remember, always gift a few months older to really help your new parent friend in a few months time.
24. Etta Loves animal print Sensory muslin
Why we love it? These stark black and white muslins feel a far reach from the usually pastel prints of muslins, but research shows that newborns see darker colours better.
Mum-of-one, Jess was surprised at the reaction she got when she first used these; "I draped this muslin over the side of my son's pram when he was two months, and he was utterly mesmerised. He couldn't take his tiny peepers off it. Then over the next month when i swayed it about he followed it with his eyes."
25. Personalised New Mum And Baby Candle Gift
Why we love it? As best baby shower gifts go these eco-friendly candle comes in either Rosemary and Lemon Grass of Bergamot and Myrrh, and you can choose to add a personalised hessian gift bag.
Mum-of-one, Lucy tells admits that lighting a 'posh candle' is so on brand for her; "I love to do it, it's calming. So I loved when my friend gifted this at my baby shower, and now it's all burned out I cleaned it and it holds my make up brushes. I want to pass it on to my daughter to hold her desk pens in when she gets to school. Silly and sentimental I know, but it was our git only right to share it."
26. Skip Hop Stroll & Connect universal Phone Holder
Why we love it? As baby shower gift ideas go, this is a game changer. Walking is good for anyone's mental health, and especially for new mums. Get that baby in the pram and take yourself off for a nice long walk. And this handy device will be a Godsend according to other mums.
Mum-of-twins, Aisha was so happy when the was gifted this; "Trying to push a buggy one handed is a nightmare, this stops that. I loved having my screen right there - made it easier to see if I had texts or switch up my podcasts all without breaking my stride."
27. Spacemasks 5-pack self-heating eye masks
Why we love it? A pack of 5 individual self-heating eye masks with ear hooks to help them stay put. Jasmine infused they help relieve tiredness, eye strain and other tensions. The gift of relaxation is always well-received. If you can gift this along with a promise to come and baby sit for an hour while she enjoys it you'll be the official gift-giving friend of the year.
28. Lansinoh cold and warm post birth relief
Why we love it? Again, practical is as practical does. If you feel this isn't lavish enough as a gift alone, add a bottle of bubbles or bunch of flowers with it. Though we promise any new mum, post natal, will be thanking you every single day they're a little more comfy post birth.
Mum-of-one Carla remembers how she laughed when she opened this slightly embarrassing gift but how the tables turned; "A work friend gave these as a jokey present but my God were they amazing the days after giving birth. Joke's on her, these are now my go-to gift at baby showers."
29. Neck Massager by iKristin
Why we love it? As best baby shower gifts go this is a gift and a half. Pregnancy puts your body through its paces and this will help knead all those knots. Then, post birth it will show up time and again, after long nights, carrying baby takes its toll on your shoulders.
Mum of two Shiya was pleasantly surprised to open this at her baby shower; "My MIL got me this for my baby shower gift. And I've got to say, when my neck seized from feeding and constantly looking down at my baby it was a God send!"
30. Bamboo Organic Bedding Double Set
Why we love it? This may seem like an odd gift, granted. But we promise your pregnant friend will no doubt be running hot - it's what pregnancy does - and these bamboo sheets will be super cooling on the skin. Plus, with a newborn baby and all the bodily fluids it brings into your life, it's always good to have extra bedding.
31. Giraffe & Rainbow Nursery book ends

Mum-of-one Lydia is a skincare addict and had a 6-step routine before bed pre-kids; "I almost cried with joy when I remembered I'd received this as a baby shower gift. I kind of knew I'd be second place to a baby, but not to this degree. I wasn't even moisturising my face at one stage. So I couldn't wait to stock up!"
34. Tommee Tippee Milk Powder dispenser
Why we love it? Completely practical and possibly boring but entirely helpful and useful, even if the new parents aren't using Tommee Tippee bottles. Hear us out... If you are formula feeding your baby (#fedisbest) then you will not only need to be able to carry formula and bottles with you when you leave the house, but if - and many bottle-feeding parents will - they have a Tommee Tippee night prep then these will be a game-changer.
Dad-of-one Mark tells us how these simple little pots saved his sanity at 3 am; "The prep machine takes out so much effort it's brilliant. But when you have to make a bottle up and you're deliriously tired it's so easy to mess up counting how many spoonfuls of formula you've put in. We got these pots and pre-gamed all the formula powder for night feeds so then you just poured it in. No more maths problems at 3am!"
35. Baby On The Way Chocolate Brownies

Mum-of-twins Cheryl marvels at this pricey little purchase; "I never realised that it's not the type of birth (i.e. vaginal or c-section) that affects your pelvic floor, just the pregnancy.

38. Your Baby Your Birth Hypnobirthing skills for every birth
Why we love it? A brilliant book for any expectant mum. It helps with strategies and coping skills to get you through the labour, both for mum and partner.
Mum-of-one Holly raves about this book; "I found this [book] so helpful it’s so educational on what a woman’s body does to birth a baby, then there’s all the breathing and relaxation exercises too. I felt empowered and capable of coping with any birth I may face, definitively recommend."

I had to write and highlight it on our wall planner so I wouldn't forget but when I eventually felt confident enough to leave my baby I couldn't' wait to go and enjoy that 1 hours and 10 minutes of just me time, I made an afternoon of it, truth be told and I loved it."
