Thoughtful and Unique Baby Shower Gift Ideas

Unique baby shower gift ideas can be hard to think up. You want to give a baby shower gift that is thoughtful, useful and original. These six unique baby shower gifts are sure to delight any new mother-to-be.

Unique Baby Shower Gift Idea #1: Daddy Diaper Bag
A diaper bag for dad is a unique baby shower gift, that will put a smile on any mom-to-be's face. This baby shower gift takes away any possible excuses on how carrying a diaper bag is too "girlie". It also helps to reassure new mothers that diaper changing will be a shared chore. These daddy diaper bags feature simple designs, in masculine styles and colors. Daddy's Matter^TM carries a line of camouflage baby overnight bags ($72.95, www.maternalyouth.com), that any new daddy can carry with confidence.

Unique Baby Shower Gift Idea #2: Pee Guards
Is it a boy? Then inject some humor into the baby shower by purchasing some pee guards. These are also practical, as they will protect the new mommy's clothes from any accidents. Beba Bean's Pee-pee Teepee^TM ($12.99, www.fireflydreaming.blogspot.com), is the perfect product for urine protection. The Pee-pee Teepee^TM is sold in packs of three. These cone-shaped cotton clothes are also washable.

Unique Baby Shower Gift Idea #3: Massaging Onesie
Another great unique baby shower gift is massage clothing for babies. This thoughtful gift allows for a deeper bond between mother and child. Touch of Love's Baby Massage Snuggie ($24.95, www.beheresoon.com), provides specific instructions on how to massage your baby, using acupuncture points. This onesie is made of 100 percent cotton.

Unique Baby Shower Gift Idea #4: Mommy Massage
Speaking about massages, gift the new mom with a little pampering. This unique baby shower gift idea could be exactly what she needs. A lot of hospitals now have massages that are specifically designed to be safe for pregnant women. Find out which one she is getting her prenatal care from and purchase a massage to soothe her pregnancy aches and pains. Another way to go with this baby shower gift is to buy a massage gift certificate, for after the baby is born. Purchase her some quality alone time, at a local day spa.

Unique Baby Shower Gift idea #5: Extra Car Mirrors
When thinking of baby shower gifts, think infant safety. Additional car mirrors allow new mom's to see their babies, without the driving hazard of adjusting the rear-view mirror. Sunshine Kids' Easy View Mirror ($12.95, www.happymothers.com), allows mothers to safely view their new infants. The Easy View Mirror fits in the center of their passenger seat headrest, so the mirror does not have to dangle off of the baby. This mirror rotates 360 degrees, so moms can perfectly view their new bundles of joy.

Unique Baby Shower Gift Idea #6: Unusual Packaging
Baby shower gifts tend to be the same old thing, because those items are what the mother needs most. Turn common gifts into unique baby shower gifts, with snazzy packaging. BabyGiftStation.com has put a new spin on the diaper cake, with their unusual gift packing. They offer Baby Clothes Bouquets ($59.95), Cupcakes ($34.95), and Flower Buckets ($69.95). Like the diaper cake, these baby shower gifts use a traditional baby shower gift, the onesie, to create a decorative display.

With their originality and usefulness, these six unique baby shower gift ideas should give you a leg up on the gift-giving competition. Enjoy the new mommy's delight, as she opens these thoughtful gifts. Just remember to ohh and ahh appropriately, as she's opening baby shower gifts that are not as dazzling as your gift.
