If you are looking for baby gifts to make but are bored with the standard blanket and baby booties, here are five unique and unusual (yet still functional!) gifts to create that would be perfect baby shower gifts.

• Time Capsule - Don't you wish someone had made you a time capsule of things from the year you were born? Collect newspaper and magazine clippings of current events, trends and fashion, a small toy from the most current hot children's movie and last, but not least, take photos of their home and their city! Document their neighborhood, take snapshots at the local grocery store, the post office, cars on the street, the local school, the front of their house, their parents and their family! Include notes from family members and a special letter from you introducing them to the world. Collect it all and put it in a decorative wooden keepsake box, leaving some room for the parents to add some things of their own. Just think what a treasure this will be when they are your age!
• Padded Mat - No, it isn't just another boring blanket! This time, create an extra thick and padded blanket, a cushy surface that will be perfect for tummy time, even on hardwood floors. Get creative with it and add "activity" toys to it, such as detachable soft toys, flaps that hide bright pictures and small ribbon tags. You could even line the bottom with waterproof PUL fabric which will turn it into the perfect outside on wet grass park blanket.
• Name Blocks - Purchase enough blank wooden blocks at a craft store to spell out baby's name. Decorate each block with the letter an/or images that start with that letter. You could paint with non-toxic acrylic paint, decoupage with paper or fabric or wood burn your design. For design ideas, look at the crib bedding set that the parents registered for and use the same theme or color scheme on your blocks.
• Mix CD - Make baby a mix CD? Yes! Create a mix CD of soothing music, classical is an obvious choice but get creative with music in your collection or check out iTunes for lullaby ideas. Alternatively, a fun and upbeat mix of baby friendly music might be just the thing! Face it, most music marketed towards babies is terrible and many parents would love to have a "normal music" CD to listen to that is still baby friendly.
• Handmade Books - You can purchase blank board books that are the perfect canvas for your own stories! If baby will live far away from extended family, create a story using real photos of family members so that baby can get to know them. Or, create a funny story about the family pet, your own version of an alphabet book, a picture book with different kinds of cars or butterflies, etc. Draw your own or create collages from actual photographs or magazine pictures.

Have fun creating some unique handmade baby gifts for your next baby shower! These fun projects will be appreciated by both the parents and the baby, which is exactly what a handmade baby gift should be about.

The culture of gifting has reached new highs in the past few years and this culture has seen a switch from more stereotypical gifting to baby personalized gifts. So be it a gift for the shower, a christening gift, a Christmas gift or just gifts for any special day of the year, new baby gifts need to be brought with a lot of thought, and more importantly, they need to have that personal touch associated with them. By following a few simple steps, you can turn your baby keepsake into a long and cherished memorabilia for the baby as well as the parents.

Your gift should provide some sort of utility as well to the baby and the parents, apart from being personalized. For example, a snugly blanket should keep the baby warm, and is a much needed thing for a newborn's parents. You can add a personal touch by doing some embroidery in the form of the baby's name, the date and by engraving other details on the blanket. In fact, embroidered baby gifts are you gateway to expressing you feelings towards the baby and the parents. You can actually turn the whole look and feel of the gift by adding suitable embroidery. If you are not personally good at adding embroidery, you can ask a professional to do so, while asking him to maintain the details as well. This will ensure that you have indeed added your personal touch to the gift, while maintaining the overall consistency of the gift.

Again, there can be a lot of things you can do to maintain that sense of uniqueness. For example, gifting the baby a name plate, made out of porcelain or steel (or other metals), should do wonders for you and the baby as well. You can also make bookmarks with self-made cartoons resembling the baby's hairstyle and some observable features of the baby and get them printed on the bookmarks. Such cartoons can also be imprinted on tiles, boots and ironed on various baby clothes. You might design such cartoons yourself, or ask a professional cartoonist to do them based on some of the baby pictures you would provide him. Apart from cartoons, you can get the birth time and the birth date of the baby imprinted on such gifts as well.

Embroidered baby gifts might include baby blankets, as already mentioned, or teddies, plush toys or even pillow covers and burp clothes. Babies just love blankets and plush toys and the softer they are, better are the baby's chances of accepting it. Apart from embroidery, animals and cartoon characters on the blankets are simply adored by the babies all over, and you should be rest assured, such gifts would be a hit among the parents as well as their parents.

Baby personalized gifts are definitely the way to go. From embroidery work to getting the names and favorite cartoon characters of the baby imprinted on blankets, plush toys and clothing, you can go a long way in striking that perfect chord with the baby and its parents.

New Baby Gift Baskets are quite an ingenious and creative way to express your congrats after the birth of a new child. How so? 

Two reasons. The results would leave you with giving a gift that would suit the family's need for practical baby items. And the playful, inquisitive nature of the baby could also be satisfied at the same time. 

Let's first examine the benefit to the parents. New Baby Gift Baskets can be packed with cozy wearables for the little prince or princess. These can include one-piece outfits, infant gowns, baby caps, bibs, booties, lined fleece blankets and more. 

Many can also include burp cloths, wash cloths, bottles, sippy cups as well as other baby care necessities. You might even discover some that hold such things as delightful picture frames or first footprint kits. 

And another benefit of one of these treasures is the actual container itself. These can be used later as charming mementos around the house. So the entire package can be useful to the parents in practical terms. 

OK ... now how about the advantages of New Baby Gift Baskets for the little guy or gal? Hey, there's plenty to keep the babies occupied in that regard. 

There can be tub toys, stuffed animals such as teddy bears, rattles, and many other playthings that can keep their attention while Mom and Dad attend to other matters. Imagine the baby's enchanting gaze at one of these entertaining items. Who knows what they might be thinking! 

So both the efficient needs of the parents and the amusement needs of the baby can be met with New Baby Gift Baskets. What's not to love about that situation for a busy shopper like you?

Baby gifts are a fun way to celebrate the arrival of a new baby.  Just finding out that a loved one is expecting a baby can make you incredibly excited.  You spend months waiting for the special bundle of joy, but if you have ever had a baby you know how much stuff is required to raise a baby.  Thankfully you can celebrate the new baby with a baby gift that is useful and cute.  Some favorite baby gifts are classified as baby care, clothing, furniture, and toys.

Baby care items can include such items as bottles, pacifiers, diaper cream, baby wash, baby powder, and baby lotion as well as diapers, wipes, towels, bathtubs, diaper pails, receiving blankets, crib sheets, blankets, mattress pads, and washcloths.  The wonderful thing about this category of gifts is that many of the items will need to be replenished so duplicate gifts are still gratefully welcomed.  The mother-to-be will appreciate these gifts for months to come.  

Another classification of baby gifts is clothing.  This is perhaps the absolute favorite gift to buy.  All baby clothes are cute because they are so tiny.  It is important to have a fair amount of clothing as most babies have at least a little "spitting up" and tend to get the clothes wet.  This gift generally elicits the most "oohs" and "aahs" in any gathering.   Some clothing items include onesies or gowns, socks, shoes, shirts, shorts or skirts, bibs, hats, mittens, rompers, and booties. 

Furniture items are usually more expensive and are generally purchased by a combination of well-wishers.  A few of the basic items are a bassinet, crib, dresser, changing table, car seat, stroller, swing, exersaucer, high chair, and pack and play.  A bassinet is really only useful for the first few months because the baby will be too heavy after that.  A crib and dresser are extremely welcomed but if you are giving a "hand-me-down" crib make sure it falls within the safety guidelines issued by the federal government.  A car seat is the only baby item that you absolutely need because you cannot leave the hospital without it so this is a wonderful gift.  Many car seats are included in the travel systems – stroller, car seat, and base.  So if you are giving a car seat you may wish to purchase a convertible car seat rather than an infant car seat.

Toys make great baby gifts and are fun to buy.  Some ideas in this category are play mats, rattles, "keys", books, and stuffed animals.  Make sure if you are purchasing stuffed animals that they are designed for babies so they will not have parts that can come loose and choke the baby.  Some books that are available for babies are board books, vinyl books, and "noisy" books (these books crinkle or squeak).  Once again, make sure the books are designed specifically for babies.

The excitement of the anticipation of a new arrival cannot be matched, but every new mother loves to receive useful baby gifts to celebrate her new baby.
