Did you know that baby shower gifts are a booming market in 2024? According to recent research, 86% of expecting mothers create registries, representing a significant increase over prior years.
This trend emphasises the importance of choosing the ideal baby shower present, as parents become increasingly particular about what they require and need for their new-borns.
However, with so many possibilities available, selecting the ideal present can be tricky.
At Tasman Eco we have over 30 years of experience producing high-quality baby furniture, for thoughtful and distinctive baby shower gifts.
Let’s look at the top baby shower gift ideas, including those that appeal to both the baby, parents and carers, to help you choose something genuinely useful and special.
What gifts do you bring to a baby shower?
Selecting the right baby shower gift involves a blend of practicality and thoughtfulness. It’s about finding something that will be genuinely useful for the parents while also showing that you’ve put some thought into your choice.
Consider gifts that can make daily life easier for new parents or items that add a touch of comfort and joy for the baby.
Here are our top choices for baby shower gift ideas:
Bassinets
For the early months, a bassinet is a cosy and convenient sleeping option for the baby. The Amore Bassinet from our bassinet selection online is a popular choice, offering a comfortable and secure sleeping environment. It’s designed with portability in mind, making it easy for parents to keep their newborn close by.
Why do bassinets make great baby shower gifts?
Portability: Bassinets are lightweight and easy to move from room to room, allowing parents to keep their baby nearby throughout the day and night.
Compact size: They take up less space than a crib, making them ideal for smaller living spaces or for use in the parents’ bedroom during the first few months.
Comfort: Many bassinets come with soft, padded interiors and gentle rocking features, providing a snug and soothing environment for the baby.
Convenience: Features like built-in storage for diapers and other essentials make bassinets highly practical for new parents.
Safety: Designed with high sides and breathable materials, bassinets ensure a safe sleeping space for the new born.
For example, the Amore Bassinet in our current collection includes breathable mesh sides for better airflow and visibility, along with a gentle rocking feature to help soothe the baby to sleep. These thoughtful design elements make it an excellent gift choice for new parents.
Changing table
A changing table is a great and helpful item for a baby’s nursery furniture. Particularly the “Turin Change Table” from our change table collection is an excellent choice. It has high side panels to prevent rolling and two shelves for plenty of storage. Its wheels allow for easy movement across rooms, which adds to its convenience.
Why changing tables are excellent presents for baby showers?
Safety: During diaper changes, the baby is kept safe thanks to the high side panels.
Storage: Nappies, wipes, and other necessities have plenty of room on several shelves.
Mobility: Moving from one room to another is made simple with wheels.
Organisation: Assists parents in keeping all diaper supplies in a handy location.
Durability: Robust construction guarantees that it will last the initial years.

Tips on buying the perfect baby gift
1. Check the registry:
If the parents have a gift registry for their baby shower, use it. This ensures that your gift is something they need and want. Registries often include a range of items from essential baby gear to specific brands and styles the parents might prefer.
2. Think long-term:
Consider gifts that will be useful beyond the new born stage.
For example, a convertible baby cot that transforms into a toddler bed can be used for several years.
Another great option is a high-quality mattress, which provides long-lasting support and comfort as the baby grows.
3.Prioritise safety and comfort:
Make sure the item(s) you select are both safe and comfortable for the infant.
The Amore Bassinet, for example, provides a safe and comfortable resting area with mesh sides that allow for improved airflow.
New parents might greatly benefit from a changing table featuring high side panels for safety and plenty of storage for convenience.
4. Set a realistic budget:
Have a realistic budget in mind when shopping for a baby gift. Quality doesn’t always mean expensive, but it’s important to choose something that reflects your thoughtfulness without overspending.
For example, pooling resources with friends or family to purchase a bigger item, such as a baby cot, can also be a great way to give a high-value gift without breaking the bank.
