The bouncy seat is a versatile piece of gear that a baby can be strapped in to and they can wiggle and bounce to their hearts content. Some of them have a battery and vibrate and play music to help soothe the new born. Most parents enjoy knowing the baby is in a safe place and they can take a few minutes to shower or catch up on house work.

Diaper cakes are becoming a very popular baby shower gifts. They are not actually a cake, but a gift of diapers made into the shape of a wedding cake.  They are sometimes filled with small gifts. They can also double as the baby shower center piece. Most babies go through a lot of diapers, so a diaper cake is a very welcome gift. A diaper cake is one of the most favorite unique and useful gifts you can give.

GIFTS FOR MOM

Slippers or socks and a new robe are fun to give the new mom to be. Most new mothers enjoy lotions or fun little items to make them feel pampered. It is always appropriate to include a gift for the pregnant mother.
