Creative Baby Shower Gift That Will Get Everyone Talking
By Amy W

Joining your friend or family member who is about to have her baby is quite a fun experience. It is a rare chance to gather around with a group of women and reminisce about your own pregnancy, discuss future plans, and to of course give a fantastic baby shower gift.

The truth is almost everyone is giving the same types of gifts at every baby shower: onesies, receiving blankets, or baby clothes. While these are obviously things that the Mom-to-be will need, they're just not very unique or creative. Here are a few really creative baby shower gift ideas that the new Mom will love and appreciate.

The Mother usually receives gifts for the baby. While this is great, an alternative would be to give the Mom-to-be a really nice gift for her. When the baby is born, things will be quite hectic around her house. She will have little sleep, post pregnancy hormones, and virtually no time to herself. Try this great creative baby shower gift idea to address those issues.

A Night Out on the Town Purchase a really pretty basket, a nice smelling set of bath oils and salts, and a scented candle. Try to find out the Mom-to-be's favorite restaurant and purchase a gift certificate for two. (Make sure that this is good until at least a month after Baby is born.)

Make a homemade gift certificate for one evening of babysitting service. Arrange these things in the basket and tie on a pretty bow and nametag.

With this really creative baby shower gift, you have accomplished a couple of great things. You have given Mom-to be a steamy scented bath with a peaceful lit candle, and a nice dinner alone with her husband while you baby-sit. Every new mother can appreciate these things.

Money Tree Okay, not the babysitting type? Well here is another creative baby shower gift idea that Mom-to be will love. Most people give gifts that the child will only have for a few months, or even a year. Make your gift creative and unique by ensuring that it will last a whole lot longer. Give the new baby a money tree.

Purchase a ceramic pot, it doesn't have to be very big, and some spray paint. You will need either blue or pink, and silver. Purchase some yellow ribbon, and stop by the bank if you don't have a lot of 1-dollar bills. You can do 20, 30, or even 50 dollars for this gift. However much you wish is fine. You can use pastel pink for a girl, and blue or green for a boy. Paint the pot, and fill it with dirt.

Find a dead tree branch with lots of little stems sticking out. Paint it silver with the spray paint, and stick it in the ceramic pot, down in the dirt.

Roll up the 1-dollar bills one by one and tie them onto the branches with the ribbon. Snap off empty twigs when you're finished so it will look nice and full. Use a magic marker in a pretty color to write the baby's name on the pot. (If there is a name.) Stick on a pretty bow and nametag.

The mom-to be can put this money into an account for Baby, or use it to get something that she needs for him. She will love it, and you are guaranteed to have the most unique and creative baby shower gift at the party.
