Unique Baby Gifts for Boys and Girls

The presents that new moms treasure the most are either practical lifesavers or items with sentimental value. Keeping that in mind, we have a few baby gift ideas that will make both mom and baby happy.

Onesies and booties are staple baby shower gifts, but you can give it a bit of pizzazz by giving them onesies with little capes that have their superhero name printed right on them. Cute pink jumpers with frills and flounces make the sweetest baby girl gift. Cardboard books are also great baby gifts for showers, as they introduce babies to the idea of books, but ensure safety against paper cuts and ripped pages everywhere.

For the mom (or grandma) who loves traditional baby gifts, give them a personalized pewter plate inscribed with the new baby's name. Ornaments inscribed with the baby's name and other personalized newborn baby gifts also make unique baby gifts the whole family can enjoy and that can be passed on through the generations.

Gifts for babies are of course also given at baby showers, and the baby gifts that the new bundle of joy will always treasure are usually of the soft and cuddly kind. Give them the gift of a new best friend with a huggable stuffed animal or a fuzzy blanket. Toys like these are great gift ideas for a first birthday as well, since they are far from outgrowing them. For the soon-to-be-queen, a personalized tutu and body suit set and a princess banner are perfect girl's 1st birthday gift ideas ideas to celebrate her day in style. Not to mention, they will make adorable photos!

Baby gifts ideas are best when they are both practical and sentimental, but also personal. Give them the gift of thoughtfulness when you are looking for the best baby gift, regardless of the occasion.
