Baby showers became popular during the early 1900s and received
their name from the tradition of Baby Shower Gifts giving since you ‘showered’ the
mom–to-be with gifts during the party. If you need ideas for how to
buy the perfect baby gift to bring to a baby shower look no further. We
have some great advice for buying baby gifts that are sure to help you
find just the right baby present.
Baby registries ensure that the mom-to-be gets the presents she wants and also helps to prevent the receiving of duplicate gifts. To create a registry you just need to go to a local baby store, or an online baby store like babysrus.com, diapers.com, or baby earth.com and sign up for a registry. This service is free. You then add to your registry everything you hope to receive for your baby. When buying from a baby registry just ask the store, or check online at the store site, for the list of items in the baby registry. Then, when you purchase something from the list, that item is removed so that no one else will also purchase the same thing.
Another great idea for purchasing presents for a baby shower when the mom-to-be doesn’t have a registry is to arrange for several of the guests to join together to purchase the expensive items mom will need for the baby. Have each guest contribute a certain amount of money (but don’t ask for too much) and then assign someone to use this money to purchase a crib, or a stroller or baby car seat to present to the mom-to-be at the baby shower. She’ll be extremely surprised at the generosity of the gift/s.

Baby Registry
Many mom and dads-to-be will register for gifts online or at a local baby store. The host of the baby shower is responsible for notifying guests where the parents-to-be are registered by announcing it in the baby shower invitation. If not, don’t hesitate to ask the host or the mom-to-be if she is registered anywhere. She’ll be happy you asked and will appreciate your effort to find her the right present.Baby registries ensure that the mom-to-be gets the presents she wants and also helps to prevent the receiving of duplicate gifts.

Baby Shower
Checking a baby registry is a very easy way to buy the perfect baby shower gift because it guarantees that you are buying something the mom-to-be really wants.A Time In The Baby’s Life
If you are hosting a baby shower and the mom-to-be has not registered for gifts you can assign each guest a ‘time in the life of the baby’ to help ensure that guests don’t buy the same presents for mom. Tell one guest to get a present for ‘feeding time,’ and tell another guest to purchase something for ‘bedtime.’ You can also ask guests to buy presents relating to ‘bath time,’ ‘story time,’ ‘playtime,’ ‘dressing time,’ etc… You can even be more specific and assign guests ‘ages in the baby’s life,’ by telling one guest to be in charge of clothing for 0-3 months, and telling another guests to be in charge of toys appropriate for a baby from 3-6 months. You get the idea. This is a great way to get the mom-to-be all she needs for her baby without using a baby registry.Another great idea for purchasing presents for a baby shower when the mom-to-be doesn’t have a registry is to arrange for several of the guests to join together to purchase the expensive items mom will need for the baby.

Keep Your Guests Occupied
If there are a lot of gifts to open during the baby shower many of your guests can get bored. Make the gift opening time fun for everyone by playing Baby Shower Gift Bingo. Attach a number to each present before the guest puts it in the gift pile at the beginning of the party. Then, while the mom-to-be unwraps the presents, hand out bingo cards to all the guests. As the mom-to-be picks up each present to unwrap she calls out the number assigned to the present. The first guest to achieve bingo gets a prize.If you are stumped as to what baby present to buy for your next baby shower check out some of our great ideas for the perfect baby present.
