The Woolies Baby Shower Gift Guide
Shopping for a baby shower gift can be overwhelming, especially if you’re not a parent. Whether you’re getting a gift for your bestie, sibling or co-worker, we’ve compiled a list of thoughtful and practical goodies to prepare parents for the arrival of their little one.
Sleeping Aids
One of the best gifts for a new parent is something to help their little one snooze soundly. Night lights create a calming environment to help baby sleep. Sleeping bags keep babies comfortable and warm during naptime. They’re safer than loose blankets and sheets and are designed to give babies ease of movement and encourage independent sleeping habits.
Feeding Accessories
Most experts advise against purchasing breast pumps before giving birth as moms have different feeding experiences that they slowly adjust to after birth. However, you can still gift moms with practical feeding accessories such as food warmers, bottles, a sterilizer set, bibs and breast pads.
Bathtime Essentials
Take the fuss out of bathtime for mommy and baby with a range of towels, facecloths, body washes, shampoos and massage oils. Ensure that everything is dermatologically tested and safe for babies and opt for pure cotton towels that will be gentle on baby’s skin.
Health & Grooming Kits
In the newborn days babies often scratch themselves accidentally. Help parents keep baby’s nails short and neat with a baby-friendly grooming kit.
Clothing Sets
Babies often need multiple changes of clothes per day, so simple essentials like body vests and clothing sets that include babygrows, socks and leggings go a long way. We’ve got a comprehensive guide on what to consider when buying clothes for babies so you know what to look out for.
Baby On The Move
Getting out of the house becomes a little tricky with a baby, so make things easier for new parents with a quality diaper bag or baby carrier. Woolies offers a wide range of nappy bags and backpacks that have changing mats, bottle pouches and ample space for extra clothes, bibs and toys.
Something For Mom
Baby showers are naturally centered on celebrating baby, but mommy-to-be deserves to be spoiled, too. Get mom something simple but useful, like comfy feeding-friendly pyjamas, or gift her a personalized voucher to treat herself.
