Buying gifts for a baby shower can be lots of fun, but only if you have a great idea to start with! In this article we'll talk a bit about some gifts you can buy pre-made on a wide variety of budgets and well as some gifts you can make yourself if you don't have a lot to spend.
Make a Baby Shower Gift Basket
Baby shower gift baskets are a rising trend and there's a good reason for it - they are fun! You can buy pre-made baby shower gift baskets or you can make your own. If you make your own, start by getting a large, pretty basket. You may want to look for a white basket, although any color will do as long as you like it. Buy items like a soft, plush teddy bear, receiving blankets, baby supplies, picture frames or anything you think would look cute in the basket. You can also tuck in a gift for Mom like scented bath salts or massage oil. Line the basket with a pretty blanket and arrange all the items you have purchased inside it so that they look good. That's it! You're ready to go and make both Mom and baby happy at the shower.
Baby Shower Gifts for the High-tech Baby & Mom
Technology is growing everyday, and the baby industry is no exception. There are so many cool new gadgets out that make being a mom much more simple and fun than it used to be. Take for instance the MOBI Technologies MobiCam Ultra Wireless Video Monitor shown to the left. This high-tech device allows parents to actually visually monitor their baby from far away in another part of the house. It also comes equiped with night vision technology that will allow up to 25 feet of viewing in complete darkness. If you've got some money to spend this would be such a fun baby shower gift for a new mom so she can always keep an eye on her baby.

Baby Shower Gifts on a Budget
If you are on a budget there are plenty of great gifts that you can get for under $10.00. A high speed thermometer is always a great practical baby shower gift idea since babies often get fevers but aren't so good at sitting still to get their temperatures taken. You can also get quite a few baby-basics for under $10.00...things like washcloths, receiving blankets, undershirts, etc. New moms can never have too many of these things and while they may not seem like much fun, they are often the most appreciated gifts. Another great option for a baby shower gift under $10.00 is to get a book for baby. Going with a classic is always good, or you can choose one of the newer books on the market. A couple more inexpensive gift ideas are picture frames with a baby theme, a baby book, a photo album to store photos of baby's first years, socks or stuffed animals. The great thing about buying for babies is that you don't have to spend a lot to get a really nice gift!
