60 Really Cute Baby Shower Gifts For Mom & Baby

“What are some really cute baby shower gifts for mom and baby?” Oh my goodness! I looovee this question!

Hi bestie!

But okay, let me guess. You've been invited to a baby shower, and you can’t decide between cute baby clothes and cute baby clothes as baby shower gifts for mom lol. 

I totally get, but did you know that it’s entirely possible to shop for baby shower gifts for mom without buying cute baby clothes? I know, I know, I was shocked too.

So, I mean, I always buy stuff on the registry (and you should too), but I also can’t help myself…I have to buy other cute things to go with it. Ya feel me?

Lucky for you, I had this “aha moment” where I randomly thought to create a list of the BEST baby shower gifts for mom that aren’t cute baby clothes lol (and ones that she might not have thought to put on her registry).

Grab a drink because this is one of my the longest gift guides ever.  

Baby Shower Gifts For Mom

Best Baby Shower Gifts

1. Pregnancy Pillow 

Every soon-to-be mom that I’ve seen on TikTok is going crazy over this pregnancy pillow, and there honestly isn’t an expecting mom out there that won’t be obsessed with it.

I mean seriously, I can guarantee that this will “wow” virtually any expecting mom (and non-pregnant girlie for that matter) because it’s literally the best pillow ever – So ridiculously comfy 🙂

2. Tommee Tippee Pacifier

So, when I say that the Tommee Tippiee Pacifier is the only one that her baby will take, I mean it.

3. Hatch Rest Baby Sound Machine 

Because, moms will never stop talking about how much they love the Hatch Rest Baby Sound Machine, but when several actual real moms said that this thing helped their baby sleep nonstop throughout the night, can you blame them?

4. Burt Bees Belly Cream

So, bonus points if you get a new mama Burt Bees Belly Cream because there’s nothing better to get rid of stretch marks.

5. Snuza Hero 

If your loved one is an expecting mom (duh!), I know, she’s seen The Snuza Hero literally e-v-e-r-y-w-h-e-r-e, and she’s probably asking herself “is this viral TikTok product something I need or just want?”

My bestie swears by this breathing monitor because it makes her feel so safe, meaning less anxious when her baby is napping or sleeping. You can learn more about it here.

So, if you get one thing for an expecting mom, make a Snuza Hero be it. Since it’s one of the best baby shower gifts for mom ever, she will want to like it so bad, and she WILL.

6. Nursing Pillow

Here’s a great baby shower gift if she’s all about being insanely comfy while breastfeeding, meaning no more back and neck pain.

7. Car Seat 

The Graco 4Ever DLX 4 In 1 Car Seat is a great gift choice primarily because this car seat has four modes, which basically means it can be used for up to ten years.  

8. Fisher-Price On-The-Go Baby Dome

My mom friend swears by this baby dome, and she is literally obsessed with it (and has been since the early days of postpartum).

Basically, I have literally heard her refer to it as a summer must have, and she is not exaggerating because it’s so cute for the beach, pool, lake, or the park (pretty much anywhere that involves traveling).

It’s truly the best way for a baby to play while going on an outdoor or even an indoor adventure. 

9. Diaper Bag

A diaper bag is a classic baby shower gift for a reason – it’s seriously everything for moms.

The Lululemon Diaper Bag is insanely popular because it’s obviously a diaper bag, but also, you know, mom bag (meaning that it can hold a Stanley if she’s a Stanley girl).

All of the cool TikTok moms swear by this! Since it doesn’t necessarily look like a diaper bag, as her baby gets older, she can continue using it for road trips, sports games, ect.

Not me at negative 4,000 weeks wanting one so bad!!

10. Baby Carrier 

So, for some reason, the WildBird Baby Carrier is the only baby gear moms seem to actually like (insert laughing emoji).

But, the product’s super padded waist belt and shoulder straps makes it the most comfy baby carrier on the market, and it’s perfect for all body types and sizes.

11. Diaper Caddy 

One of the best baby shower gifts for mom does indeed exist, and a diaper caddy is it. As a matter of fact, it deserves a round of applause – it’s that good.

So, first things first, could this be any cuter???!! But seriously, moms love the fact that a cutie diaper caddy can organize all of their baby’s essentials including diapers, wipes, changing pads, onesies, diaper rash cream, swaddle blanket, and so much more omg.

12. Sleep Sacks

One of the best baby shower gifts for mom that can prevent sleepless nights?

Sleep Sacks (but not the weighted ones because those can be potentially dangerous).

13. Water Bottle

Basically every cool mom I know is completely obsessed with the Stanley Cup, and honestly why wouldn’t she be? 

It’s also absolutely perfect for mental health walks, and if you’re a mom who already has one, you know what I’m talking about.

But, I could go on and on about why this is one of the best baby shower gifts for mom, but the main reasons being that it fits in most car cup holders, comes in several cute colors, and keeps ice cold for over 24 hours.

14. Baby Monitor 

Obviously, a premium, non-wifi (#iykyk) baby monitor because #mommying

15. Command Display Ledges 

Okay, but like an expecting momma needs a command shelf to mount her baby monitor because literally no one wants to put holes in the wall. No one.

Cool Baby Shower Gifts 

16. Baby Books  

Because if she’s a die hard Taylor Swift’s fan, you already know that you need to gift her a Taylor Swift Children’s Book for her baby Swiftie.

I’m not crying…you’re crying! Except I’m actually crying lol.

So, Pro Tip: I always do the book thing as well, meaning I write a cute note on the inside cover, haha. Try it! 

17. Silicone Baby Bibs 

When it comes to baby shower gifts for mom that are guaranteed to be used, silicone baby bibs are always a Y-E-S.

Moms will actually be so amazed by how well they catch spills and messes, and she can just rinse them off instead of worrying about throwing them in the wash.

18. Puppy Pads

Did you know that moms can use puppy pads for diaper changes? Because omfg yes they can! Okay, since I shared this low key genius hack with you, does that mean I am a genius??!!? TBD

So, they’re actually great for diaper changes on the go like at the airport, park, and basically anywhere because who wants to change their baby's diaper on those nasty public changing tables?

PS. The adult diaper section usually has medical pads for cheaper, but you can also buy them here. The great thing about these is that they don’t have added chemicals or scents. You’re welcome 🙂

19. Baby Socks

Okay, so cute right?! I know!! But, Owlet Dream Socks aren’t just any old baby socks; they are life-saving baby socks (no need to thank me (!)  

I am not lying when I say that Owlet Dream Socks are the coolest, most innovative baby products on the market because it has been shown to prevent Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) by tracking a baby’s sleep quality, heart rate, and much more.

So, for the new mothers who are anxious or paranoid (meaning all expecting moms), these cool baby shower gifts will literally be a godsend because it will give them so much peace of mind, and isn’t that what every mom wants?

20. Zippy Mama

The expecting mother in your life should enjoy being cute and comfy too, and I promise that the Zippy Mama makes them feel so put together (even if they feel like a hot mess).

So, I’ll be honest, this breast-feeding friendly clothing sounds too good to be true because it’s literally designed for moms who want to feel confident nursing in public while looking cute and modest doing so.

21. Snot Sucker

A snot sucker sounds hella weird, yes, and it’s definitely not the most glamorous gift, but it’s an extremely cool one, haha.

But, I mean, when your loved one’s newborn baby has been crying all day because of a stuffy nose, I guarantee that this really good baby shower gift will be put to good use and greatly appreciated.

22. Polaroid Camera

If a cutie polaroid camera isn’t on every soon to be mama’s baby shower registry, it totally should be duh.

But what mom wouldn’t looovvvee using this great thing to capture instant memories of her new baby? Basically the coolest baby shower gift!

23. Fujifilm Instax Mini Instant Film

Obviously, the Fujifilm Instax Mini Instant Film pairs perfectly with the polaroid camera.

24. Photo Album 

So, I know you couldn’t resist buying a polaroid camera for an expecting mama, so you obviously need to buy her a cutie photo album too.

25. Nail Clippers 

But like why is cutting the nails of tiny hands the scariest thing ever?

Obviously, an expectant mom will probably be absolutely terrified of clipping her baby’s nails, and that’s why you should for sure gift her a baby electric nail grinder.

Practical Baby Shower Gifts

26. Nespresso Machine 

Coffee at 3 pm on a Tuesday while baby is sleeping = Perfection for moms.

Basically if she doesn’t already own a nespresso machine, you will definitely be her favorite person from here on out if you get her one. 

27. Gift Card 

*Note* If you’re worried about investing in such an expensive product like the one above, that’s totally understandable,

But also here’s a pro tip: Buy her a Starbucks Gift Card instead. She’ll be just as excited!

28. Electric Tea Kettle

Because if she prefers tea over coffee, an electric tea kettle is a game changer for moms.

29. Tub 

When you literally have no f-ing clue what to buy for your favorite pregnant woman, a tub is the most perfect “safe” gift if you know what I mean.

But okay fun fact: Swaddle baths are a game changer for expecting parents (and they can totally use this tub to do them for their first baby or fifth baby, hehe). 

I haven’t tried it because, you know, I don’t have kids, but I went down an entire rabbit hole of swaddle bath videos for two hours and learned so much. Many moms swear by swaddle baths because their babies are less likely to cry during bath time. They can also keep babies feeling warm and safe.

30. Baby Blanket 

But if the many amazing benefits of a swaddle bath aren’t enough to convince you to buy her a swaddle blanket too, I don’t know what will.

31. Baby Diaper Spatula

Basically, a baby diaper spatula is a “TikTok made me buy it” product, but hey, bougie expecting moms will totally appreciate the fact that it will prevent diaper cream from getting under her freshly done manicure.  

32. Diaper Rash Cream Applicator 

A diaper rash cream applicator cap sounds like an extremely basic gift, but it’s actually one of the best momma’s hack ever. Ever.

But, hear me out: Instead of placing a wipe around her finger to apply the baby cream (another great hack btw), she can do it with this applicator.

It takes almost no instruction but basically the baby cream applicator should replace the lid of the diaper cream. I honestly don’t see a better way to apply diaper cream, do you?

33. Teething Toy 

So, I swear I am not trying to brag, but I feel like finding cute, practical things for mom is my secret talent. Like this super cute teething toy!

34. Robe

A gorgeous robe probably isn’t something that she’ll buy for herself, but if she’s the kind of mom who always dreamt about looking like a baddie after giving birth, now is seriously the perfect opportunity to make her dreams come true, haha.

Not only will a beautiful robe leave her feeling sexy from head to toe, it will also make breast feeding insanely easy.

Plus, she’ll look so cute in pictures, which is obviously the entire point of the robe.  

35. Slippers 

But if she’s an expecting mom, that means she has pregnancy feet, and do you know what that means?

She needs comfy slippers like this one literally asap. I could be wrong but slippers make the best gifts for literally every girl!

36. Breast Pump 

I’m seriously so convinced that every expecting mama who plans on nursing needs a breast pump because according to one of many five star reviews, “I have no idea how this works, but it WORKS.” 

37. High Chair 

No one has said it, but a high chair is one of the most practical baby shower gifts because she will eventually use it EVERYDAY. Because literally!

38. Humidifier 

A humidifier just makes sense as a practical gift because moms will stay using it when their baby is sick.

It’s honestly another great gift if you have absolutely no idea what to get expectant parents.

39. Change Table 

If you ask any mom who has this change table, I swear she’ll describe it as a can’t-live-without-it baby product, even though many moms have probably told her it’s something that she doesn’t need. Liars!

40. Play Mat 

Every mom & baby will both love this play mat for tummy time.

41. Barefoot Dreams Blanket 

42. Baby Bottles 

But like every mom really needs baby bottles (obviously), sooooo, if you only get one thing from this baby shower gifts for mom guide, let it baby bottles be it. 

I know I’ve said this already about one of the products above – sue me (please don’t sue me).

43. Rinse Cup 

I know, I know, a rinse cup is a super boring gift but expectant moms will appreciate tf out of this because she can finally stop using Tupperware to bathe her baby.

44. Crib Sheets 

Do you need the perfect baby shower gift for under $20?

So, if you’re shopping on a budget, cutie crib sheets are one of my absolute favorite affordable baby shower gifts for mom!

Not only are these ones super duper cheap, they also come in so many cute colors and patterns, it’s crazy. Truly the cutest crib sheets you ever will see.

Last Minute Baby Shower Gifts

45. Target Git Card

Target is the love of every girl’s life (shocking), so I can 100% guarantee that she will for sure be making several target mom runs during pregnancy and even postpartum.

So, as a result, a Target Gift Card is always the perfect baby shower gift.

46. Newborn Baby Laundry Detergent

PSA: Newborn baby laundry detergent is actually a necessity for new moms because it doesn’t contain toxic chemicals or a strong scent.

47. Cute Baby Clothes 

Not at all a surprise but cute baby clothes. But, I mean seriously, can you actually go to a baby shower without bringing this as a gift?

I honestly get an embarrassing amount of pleasure just looking at them, so for me, the answer is no. Sorry expecting moms who don’t have this on their registry.

48. Nipple Cream

So, if we’re being real, future breastfeeding moms will for sure need nipple cream…..

49. Diaper Cream 

Since diaper cream is one of those most forgotten baby registry items, so by gifting first-time moms this, you’ll honestly be doing them a HUGE favor.

50. Body Wash

This popular body wash is another one of those must-have products that a soon-to-be mom might forget to put on her baby registry, but it’s okay because you’ve got her back.

But also, if you’re running out of time, you’ll love that this is a great last-minute baby shower gift.

Unique Baby Shower Gifts 

51. Door Dash Gift Card

But, I mean, Door Dash and a blanket on the couch?! Who is she?

52. 3-Tier Utility Cart DIY Gift

A 3-tier utility cart packed with cute baby essentials is the world’s most unique baby shower gift ideas because it’s sweet, thoughtful, AND useful! Hello!

So, there are honestly so many things you can put on the cart, but I looovveeee the idea of filling it with small useful items on her registry that people never tend to buy. I couldn’t choose just a couple of practical essentials, so I went with a few really great options:

-Baby wipes

-Burp cloths

-Diaper cream spatula

-Swaddle blanket

-Baby medicine

I would totally love receiving this insanely thoughtful gift at my own baby shower one day, hint hint.

53. Cleaning Service 

I’ve said it once, and I’ll say it again (I’m lying this is my first time saying this lol), but a cleaning service is one of the most unique baby shower gifts for moms who have everything. 

I mean, there’s really nothing better than coming home to a fresh clean home after giving birth, and who would think to give a mom this? Obviously, you of course!

54. Photography Session 

But, how insanely thoughtful is this gift? 

Because every new mom-to-be I know would absolutely lose it if you book her a photography session. 

If I gave to to my best friend, I can totally see her obsessing over it for dayyysssss.

55. Subscription Boxes 

So, can we normalize gifting a new mom to be meal subscription boxes?  

Because it’s (insert current year) and moms love convenience over evverrrythinggg, so a meal delivery service is a really great idea! The best idea actually for really close friend and family members. 

Thoughtful Baby Shower Gifts

56. Viral DIY Gift Basket

I don’t know about you, but I absolutely LOVE dramatic baby shower gifts for mom (anything dramatic tbh). Side note: If you’re like me and get excited for dramatic anything, we are seriously the cutest people alive, I swear.

But back to this viral baby shower gift idea (that will be the center of attention at the baby shower). I know that you would agree that a DIY gift basket is the cutest thing eveeerrr! Check it out here.  

PSA: For a personal touch, you can totally customize this gift for a baby girl or boy by adding a DIY baby swing, decorative lights, dried pampas grass, and artificial leaf/flower garland. Literally so cute!

57. Baby Medicine Kit 

Thank you to whoever gave the advice to give a baby medicine kit because it saves new parents everywhere from having to run to the store when their baby isn’t feeling well.

A fun way to gift this not so fun new mama gift is to place everything in a small 3 drawer plastic storage. Such a great way to organize it all, especially if you include these labels: Pain & Fever, Cold & Cough, and Tummy & Diaper.

58. Baby Shower Gift Tote

Many moms are always running on one hour of sleep, but sometimes they are running on zero. But it’s so sad because it’s not even an exaggeration.

Okay, for our extremely tired moms who need an instant pick me up, I promise that a little bit of thoughtfulness will go a long way.

AND I know for a fact that tears will be shed if you gift your loved one a tote filled with all of her fave snacks and drinks.

I don’t know about you, but I strongly believe that this insanely thoughtful baby shower gift idea would be perfect for a close friend that you know really well.

59. Postpartum Self Care Gift Basket

So, let’s be real: Every mom is basically on the struggle bus after giving birth because postpartum can be really rough, and most people forget just how much moms actually go through. 

I swear her heart will be filled with joy if you fill a cute basket with things like face masks, tree hut sugar scrub, slippers, blanket, tumbler, and chocolate. Because every mom needs chocolate.

But, if you're lazy, you can also just buy one here.
