Cheap Baby Shower Gifts that Still Show You Care

It is always daunting to get a baby shower invitation to know that you are expected to shop off of a registry to help outfit the baby and mom to be with the needed accessories to care for her new arrival. This should be fun right? Maybe if you have limitless funds--- but for me- who does not have limitless financial resources, it can be overwhelming. What can I get that shows I care and does not cost as much as my mortgage payment? In the days of Bugaboo strollers, and designer crib sets budget conscious gifting is more of a challenge than ever.

You can of course purchase personalized frames or blankets or any number of items. What if, though you do not know the gender or name of the baby? Or what if the ultrasound was misinterpreted? What then? Or what if you just want something more original than a picture frame?

There are tons of options. “Rock a bye Baby” CDs are really popular. Well known bands have their songs turned into lullaby appropriate fare. My favorites are the Beatles and U2. There are so many bands out there that surely you can find something that goes along with the parents’ musical tastes. Long gone are the days of irritating kid music!

Another source of inspiration is Etsy: a website full of handmade items that you can search. If you do not find exactly what you are looking for you can commission a seller to create it for you.

One of my favorite things to do is to pick an item off of the registry and build a gift around that. For instance: a baby bath tub as the base gift. Add to that a hooded towel or two, baby wash, lotion, wash clothes, a few simple bath toys, soon enough you have an awesome gift that did not cost a fortune.

In this recession economic climate very few of us have extra money to spend on Britax car seats or Baby Jogger Strollers. I find what is most meaningful is when people take the time to look at the parents and find a gift that truly suits the individuals- not just what the books say you need.
