Funny baby shower gifts for new moms and dads and grandmas
One of your friends is having baby. The shower has already been arranged. All you need to do is to buy a gift. But which one? You do not want to go with bottles as you are not sure if she's going to breast feed or not, nor with a pump cause that's too personal. And the diaper cake would have been a good idea but she may just go for cloth diapers.
As far as for a piggy bank, a swing, a baby carrier or sling...looks like she's already got them, as these are very useful and easy to find gifts. There is also the wipe warmer or the night time lights and sounds projector but you know she already has them from her last baby.
Of course, you could never go wrong with burping cloths, bibs, rattles and plush toys, or bath towels, but this items are small and you just want something different. Here is a small list of cool, fun and useful gifts for baby showers available on the market.
