So, your friend has just had a baby? Congratulations because there is nothing more beautiful than becoming a parent. But, it does leave you in a tricky situation. Yep, it’s gift-buying time. Normally, a present wouldn’t be a big deal, but this is your friend so you need to choose carefully. After all, a gift says a lot about your friendship. If you’re coming down in a cold sweat, don’t worry because there are plenty of options that she will love. Okay, you won’t be able to gift wrap a bag of sleep, but you can get her the next best thing! 

Dog Sitter

In time, you’ll be able to take the strain by offering to babysit. But, for now the bond between mother and child is too strong, and she won’t feel like leaving her alone for a second. Still, that doesn’t mean you can’t put your skills to good use. Instead of looking after the baby, you should offer to take care of the dog. Dogs and children don’t always go hand in hand because mutts can be a handful. If they don’t have enough time to look after both, you can provide some much-needed support. 

Family Photograph 

Every mother knows that kids grow up too quickly. In fact, some of them transform into different people and break their mother’s heart. The good news is that they can remember the good times if they have pictures. Looking at old photographs is the best way to feel nostalgic about becoming a mother. With that in mind, you should take a look at studios like SilverBee Photography. Of course, you can do it yourself and out together a scrapbook. But, a professional shoot is more considered and focused. They will appreciate both, so the final decision is yours and yours alone. 

Bath Salts

When the time finally comes, they will want to jump in the tub and never leave. There is nothing like relaxing in the tub when the baby is asleep, and you can take the experience to a new level. Thanks to bath salts and nutrients, bathing morphs into an art form that is beyond any other relaxing/personal hygiene. Plus, there are body oils for after the session is over. Pregnancy can leave the skin feeling dry and flaky, so oil is an excellent way to make it feel smooth again. That’s two birds with one stone! 

Baby Stuff

Yes, it’s a cliché, but it’s a cliché for a reason. Parents’ lives revolve around their children, and that means baby gifts make them happier than ever. And, they also make everyday life easier because they are practical. Moms appreciate clothes because kids need dressing, whereas a baby sling is an excellent way to keep the child quiet and be productive. They will love it as long as it isn’t noisy and messy. 

Now you know about these gifts, you can pick one that will blow her away. Let’s face it - you don’t want to be overshadowed at the baby shower.
