Having a baby shower for a friend can be helpful to a new mother who is trying to collect supplies for the new arrival. The hardest part with a baby shower is knowing just what to bring. An easy way to handle this dilemma is by have a lot of people come to the shower and form a list of what everyone is wanting to bring. This will eliminate the chance of everyone deciding on baby bath tubs for gifts and no one bringing diapers or wipees. Continue below to learn about baby shower gifts...

Besides the double electric breast pump, there are other gifts out there. If this is the first child for the mother-to-be, it will be a whole new experience and an afternoon massage would be a wonderful treat for her. Giving a gift certificate for just this event is an excellent present. An afternoon with the grandparents will be perfect for the new baby and if mom has a breast pump to use, feeding while she's away won't be a problem either. It can be a pleasant afternoon for everyone.

This will enable her to pump enough milk to leave with the sitter to feed the baby while she takes an few hours to relax. Giving her a gift certificate for the local spa can be quite the baby shower gift as well. This is the perfect way for her to get in some relaxation time on her own.

Giving gifts of items that are used every day are always welcome presents. Things such as wipees, shampoo, powder, lotion, wash cloths, towels, diaper ointment, and diapers can never be had in too large of quantities.

Pooling money and going together in ordering diaper service for a few months is a perfect present for a new mother wishing to use cloth diapers. Clothes of various sizes are helpful, since babies grow out of clothing very quickly.When the sex of the baby is already known, this makes buying clothes and items for the bedroom easier to match. It's also helpful to know if there is just one baby expected or two. It would be hard for two babies to share one stroller when double strollers would have been better. There's also the option for a few people to join their money together and purchase a big item, such as a stroller, then fill it full of goodies for the baby.

Multiple people could combine together and purchase a stroller, then fill it with goodies for a big finale gift at the end of the shower.

It isn't common for guys to attend baby showers, but if the father of the new baby is there, he might appreciate the company.
