Top Ten Baby Shower Gift Ideas Under $25

10) Head Cradler for Car Seats

Parents and Baby will thank you for saving baby’s neck. The Head Cradler provides comfort and support. The cushion fits along the inside of the car seat in such a way to support baby’s head from flopping or bending to the side. Most are washable.

9) Bath Tub Sponge Support

Bath Tub Sponge Support keeps baby safe from slipping. This form shaped sponge fits inside infant bath tubs. Comfortable for baby, the sponge can be soaked in the warm tub water prior to placing baby in the bath. Easy to use, the sponge simply wrings out when bath time’s over.

8) Mini Diaper Bag

Busy moms will love you for the mini diaper bag. Mega diaper bags are great but sometimes, for a quick trip to the market, you need only a couple of diapers and wipes. Experienced moms will tell you:  “Never, never, go to the store, without at least, one diaper.” The mini diaper bag is useful from infant through toddlerhood, as it becomes an Oopsie Bag for Potty-training Toddlers.

7) Hats & Socks

Baby’s need warmth from head to toe! After nine months in 98 degree temperatures, room temperature can seem cold for baby. We loose much of our body heat through our heads, hands and feet. Keep several types of hats available for all kinds of weather and temperatures, as well as socks to cover those precious little toes.

6) Sleepers

Just when you think baby is ready for bed. Oops, and it’s time to change baby again. Getting baby ready for bed may be a two or three time event in one evening, having plenty of sleepers on hand, is essential. 

5) Blankets

Baby blankets are among the most useful and versatile baby friendly accoutrements available. Swaddle infants in baby blankets. Lay a baby blanket to cover a napping baby. Place a baby blanket over the top of portable baby carrier to protect baby from disturbances. Tuck a baby blanket in the car window shade baby from the sun. Burp baby with a baby blanket on your shoulder. Hand grandpa a baby blanket for his lap before he holds grandbaby. Place on the floor to keep baby up from the carpet.  Explore the myriad of uses for baby blankets, you’ll never think you have too many.

4) Personal Care Items

The personal care kits items: nail clippers, hair scissors, wash cloths, thermometers, applicators, measuring spoons, and droppers are all necessary and often forgotten in the standard layette. Make your gift memorable, make it useful, and make it helpful.

3) Gift/Sample Baby Care Baskets

A basket of personal care products makes a thoughtful gift for new parents. What a great way to try the different baby products offered. Gift and sample collections contain baby powder, lotions, shampoos, skin care, diaper care, and bath soaps.

2) Onesies

Onesies are a standard. Onesies make great underclothes in the winter and all baby needs to wear in the summer.
