mara mea Baby Shower Gift Guide: Popular and unusual gift ideas

A baby shower is all about making the expectant mother happy. Delicious cakes, snacks, drinks, and beautiful decorations are a must for any baby shower . Small gifts are also a must – whether for the remainder of the pregnancy or for the first few days with the baby. We've put together a few gift ideas for your next baby shower that are guaranteed to relax the mother-to-be and won't break the bank.

1. Vouchers for relaxation

Give a gift voucher for a prenatal massage or a session of prenatal yoga . There are sure to be suitable studios near you that offer great treatments and classes for expectant mothers. Another great idea would be a voucher for a privately organized relaxation afternoon during the final weeks of pregnancy. Then, for example, you could bring along something delicious to eat and a relaxing bath. If there are already siblings, you can look after them for a few hours and give the mother-to-be a little time to herself.

2. Clothing for pregnancy and breastfeeding

Make the expectant mother happy with a breastfeeding-friendly maternity top , comfortable maternity leggings , or even a practical sports bra for pregnancy yoga . Our mara mea maternity clothes become nursing clothes after the birth, so the expectant mother can enjoy the gift for a long time to come. If the baby shower takes place in the first few months of pregnancy, the mother-to-be will also be delighted with a practical companion, such as our mara mea maternity record cover .

3. Lucky charm for the birth

With a stone, you can give the expectant mother strength and protection for the last weeks of pregnancy and during the birth. Agate is considered a protective stone for mother and child. Malachite is the midwife's stone , said to ease pain during childbirth. You can give the stones as a necklace, for example, or simply as a small lucky charm to take with you, tucked into a small bag or box. Choose the right stationery from us and write down your personal wishes for the expectant mother.

4. Gifts for the baby

You'll also ensure a great deal of relaxation if you bring a gift for the upcoming time with your baby to the baby shower . Ask the expectant mother what else she needs. If you want to organize something together as a small group, you can take on larger purchases, such as a diaper bag with a matching diaper clutch , a baby bouncer, or a baby carrier. But even small items, like the famous diaper cake with all kinds of baby care products, or baby clothes like our organic cotton kids' leggings , are lovely gifts for the mother-to-be.

5. Memories of pregnancy

Organize a small photoshoot for the baby shower so the expectant mother can always remember this special day. You could, for example, create an album with the best pictures afterward. You can also create great souvenir snapshots with a Polaroid camera. Or you could give the expectant mother a kit for making a plaster cast of her baby bump . You can create and design this together at the party.
