If you’re a parent (or if you’ve been around any parents of a newborn lately) then you already know – tiny babies need a ton of stuff! From diapers, onesies, and swaddle blankets to bottles, strollers, and bassinets. It all adds up to mountains of baby gear everywhere; The kitchen, the living room, the bedroom, and of course, the car. So, whoever invented the tradition of the “baby shower” was really on to something. What better way to stock up on all things baby than by hosting an event in mom-to-be’s honor that’s all about showering her with everything she could possibly need (and then some)! It’s simply too overwhelming to go it alone!
But, a baby shower is more than getting all the stuff. (Although all the stuff is SO needed and appreciated!) It’s also a chance to gather mom-to-be’s closest friends and family members together to celebrate her and help mark this huge, monumental, life-changing transition; She’s becoming a MOM!
The baby shower is one of the biggest milestones of pregnancy because it means that the baby is almost, actually, physically here! When mom’s living room begins to fill up with boxes containing nearly everything in the Target baby aisle, the whole mom thing starts to get REAL. And although mom is undoubtedly super excited, she’s probably also dealing with a rollercoaster of emotions as well as some physical aches and pains that have crept in along the way.
That’s why we suggest giving mom something special that’s just for her, like a luxurious belly butter to soothe stretching skin, a silky maternity robe that Mom can lounge in at home and bring to the hospital (for all those newborn photos), and a relaxing sea salt bath scrub or bath soak made with clean, all-natural ingredients that mom will feel good about using during pregnancy and postpartum. Looking for specifics? That’s why we’re here to help you quickly and easily find the best pregnancy gifts and the best baby shower gift for mom!
