What Kind of Gift is Appropriate for a Baby Shower? Selecting the perfect baby shower gift largely depends on your relationship with the parents-to-be and their preferences. Popular gift options include baby clothing, blankets, toys, diaper bags, and nursery décor. Personalized items like baby onesies and blankets can add a special touch to your gift. Baby Aspen offers a wide range of adorable and thoughtful baby shower gifts, such as our Blue "Let the Fin Begin" baby bath robe (also available in pink hooded robe) or our "Little Princess" Hooded Spa Robe.
What to Bring to a Baby Shower If You Already Sent a Gift? If you've already sent a gift but are attending the baby shower in person, consider bringing a heartfelt card or a small, additional token of your congratulations. Perhaps a bouquet of fresh flowers or a box of gourmet chocolates to share with the other guests can be a thoughtful gesture.
Are Gifts Required for a Baby Shower? Gifts are a traditional part of baby showers, but they are not mandatory. Guests should feel free to bring gifts if they wish, but attending the celebration and offering well-wishes are equally meaningful ways to show your support and love for the parents-to-be.
Is $100 Enough for a Baby Shower Gift? The appropriate amount to spend on a baby shower gift can vary widely depending on your budget and your relationship with the parents. There is no set amount, and any thoughtful gift, regardless of its cost, will be appreciated. Baby Aspen offers a variety of budget-friendly options, such as our adorable "Chomp & Stomp" Shark Bib & Booties Gift Set, making it easy to find a meaningful gift that won't break the bank. Speaking of banks... Baby Aspen offers a variety of piggy banks that make great nursery decor!
Do You Give a Card at a Baby Shower? Yes, including a heartfelt card with your best wishes and congratulations is a lovely tradition at baby showers. It's a great way to express your sentiments and add a personal touch to your gift. A beautiful baby shower card is sure to complement our Baby Aspen gift sets perfectly.
What Not to Give at a Baby Shower? While the choice of gift ultimately depends on the preferences of the parents-to-be, it's generally best to avoid items that are potentially harmful, too extravagant, or not age-appropriate for a newborn. Items such as alcohol, sharp objects, or gifts that may require additional maintenance may not be suitable. Depending on the soon to be parents preferences, toys that make noise can also be something to stay away from.
How Much Should I Spend on a Baby Shower Gift? The amount you spend on a baby shower gift should be determined by your budget and your relationship with the parents-to-be. As mentioned earlier, there's no set amount, and thoughtful, budget-friendly gifts are just as appreciated as more expensive ones.
Choosing the perfect baby shower gift should be a joyful experience, and at Baby Aspen, we're here to help you make it memorable. Whether you're looking for adorable clothing, charming gift sets, or personalized items, our collection has something for everyone. Remember, the most important thing is to show your love and support for the new parents as they embark on this incredible journey of parenthood. Explore our delightful selection of baby shower gifts at BabyAspen.com and make your gift as special as the occasion itself.

Pantone released it's Color of the Year for 2022 and this year's it's "Very Peri." This gorgeous periwinkle blue tows the line between blue and violet perfectly for a unique shade. Because of the violet undertones, this doesn't have the gendered vibes of a more traditional blue.
Nurseries are having a new take on orange in 2022. Rather than bright orange or blood orange of years past, this year it's all about vintage orange. This orange looks well-worn and aged like something from the '60s and '70s. A great accent is a rug featuring this color like in the nursery below.
Some parents are skipping the light beiges and delicate grays of the past and going for rich colors instead. Jewel tones feature deep shades of emerald, sapphire, and ruby. This is often best used in a nursery with a bold accent wall framing the crib.
This isn't your grandmother's nursery. No one would have been caught dead painting their walls black for a nursery back in the 1900s, but this is 2022. Black can be chic and lovely. Black accents in the form of throw pillows, rugs, or walls go a long way to making the baby's room look super cool.
If you aren't going for a jewel-tone green, then pastel green is the perfect alternative. In 2022, we're skipping out on the bright greens of the past. For pastel greens, go for shades that look muted and soft. A great way to incorporate the color is with patterns of greenery like leaves, grass, and ivy.
]]>Gift sets are a must for baby showers, and this four-piece set is a fan favorite. It comes with a bib, headband, plush rattle, and matching socks. Start the unicorn fandom early with this one.
Stuffed animals are a sure-fire way to a kid's heart. If you're looking for something they can take with them wherever they go, gift them Jamie the Giraffe. This soft plush giraffe arrives wearing a matching bib that Baby can use while they cuddle.
It's time to make bath time fun with this fan favorite. The three-piece Colby the Cow set comes with a hooded bathrobe, plush cow, and book. Baby is going to look so cute wrapped up in the cow hooded robe.
For gifts that are both useful and fun, check out the Sock T. Pus plushes. They're soft plush octopuses with one key feature: They're wearing socks that Baby can wear too.
Need a cozy outfit that Baby can wear to bed? This Baby Chef outfit was the big favorite of 2021, featuring a matching chef's hat, coat, and pants. They're soft enough to be pajamas while Baby dreams of their future as a top chef.
Another popular outfit of 2021 was the classic pink ballerina outfit. The soft pink onesie comes with a built-in tutu perfect for some fun Baby pictures. The set also comes with a matching hat.
If you're looking for something for the nursery, there's always a good bank. Banks not only provide nice decor, but they're also a way to teach about savings at the baby gets older. Of all the banks at Baby Aspen, the sequin mermaid banks is one of the big favorites.
For dino-lovers, the Doug the Dinosaur set is a big hit. Sure, the stuffed dinosaur is an absolute must, but so are the other parts to this set. It comes with a helpful bib, rattle, and matching socks.
It's party time and you're looking for decorations. Although Baby Aspen carries a load of decorations for first birthdays, nothing beats the popularity of our gold glitter unicorn set. It comes with everything you need for a decked-out birthday, including a Happy Birthday banner and cake topper.
Need another idea for a cute Baby Outfit? Fans love this camo outfit. Not only is it adorable, but it's the perfect bedtime outfit.

Regardless of your age, fear of the unknown is all too real. Lessen the odds that Baby will be afraid of Santa by introducing the concept in the days and weeks before. Let your little one watch some classic Christmas movies or look at picture books about Santa Claus. The more comfortable they are with the way he looks, the less likely they'll scream their head off once they make it on his lap.
Don't just stride up to the first Santa you see, especially if this is the first time Baby's visiting the mall. Head out a few times so you can see what time of day Santa is least busy. The longer you have to wait in line, the fussier Baby will become. You can also get Baby used to the lights and colors before the big day.
On the day of the Santa photoshoot, make sure that your baby is fed and rested. After all, it'll be hard to get a good picture if they're crying to be fed.
Most photographers for Santa will have something to get a baby's attention, like jingling bells. Increase the odds of attention by bringing your baby's favorite toy. That way, when you hold it up near the camera, they'll have no choice but to look up.
Perhaps your baby is a newborn or has been particularly fussy lately. If you're worried about how they'll handle a mall Santa, set up your own Santa photoshoot at home. Hire a Santa or have a trusted relative rent a suit. By staying at home, Baby will feel a lot more comfortable and you're more likely to get a great shot.

Looking to help decorate a dino-themed nursery? Wall art is a great way to tie in the theme. Not only does this trio of wall art feature adorable cartoon dinosaurs, but you can even get the child's name printed above the cute stegosaurus.
Another nursery must-have is a growth chart. While parents may be tempted to mark the changing heights of their children on a doorframe, they can't take it with them when they move. This personalized alphabet-themed growth chart solves that tricky problem.

Right after your baby is born, friends and family may offer help in the form of babysitting or delivering meals. Don't hold onto your pride at your own expense. It can be exhausting dealing with a newborn, so lighten your load but accepting everyone's help. Your added sleep will thank you.
Your first few months can feel like nothing but nightly feeding times, changing diapers, and getting naps in whenever you can. Don't let the schedule get in the way of appreciating your new status as a mom. Before you know it, your baby will be a toddler, and you don't want to feel like you missed their time as a newborn.
It's always helpful to be a part of a community of people who are going through the same things as you. Connect with other new moms through Facebook groups or through people you may know. It's a great way to get tips from others as well as a safe place to let out a bit of your anxiety.
The one downside to knowing a lot of moms is that you'll likely run into people who feel like they're doing parenting "the right way," and everyone else is wrong. Remember that there are so many ways to be a good parent. You're not a failure if you don't do everything exactly the same way as the Mommy Blogger of the moment.
Like we said earlier, these first few months are going to go fast! Make sure to keep your phone on hand so you can get pictures of little moments with your newborn. Whether you share them on social media or not, you won't regret having these snapshots of your new motherhood. And don't forget to back them up!
Postpartum depression is real and common, as are the other physical symptoms you might feel after childbirth. It's nothing to be ashamed of. Don't hold these problems in and "suffer in silence." Talk to your partner and your doctor to get help so you can be as happy and healthy as possible in the months after childbirth. You'll be glad you did.

As your child gets older, it can be difficult to introduce schedules and rules without a bit of a fight. However, if you start a routine early, this habit can be ingrained in their behavior from the beginning. Rather than fighting over bedtime when they're five, instill healthy habits now.
A sleep and feeding schedule has real benefits for Baby according to science. A study found that breastfed babies fed between 10 PM and midnight slept for longer through the night than babies who didn't have that focused schedule. Following a tried-and-true routine could mean the difference between a good night's sleep and restlessness.
The first thing you learn when you're a new parent is that a baby's cries can mean anything. Part of those first weeks is solving the mystery. When your baby is on a routine, you'll have a much easier time figuring out what's wrong. For example, if they start crying around a designated feeding time, all signs point to hunger.
Creating a routine for your newborn isn't just about getting their sleep and feeding on a schedule. As you figure out the best routine for you, add parental connection to the mix. Focused play, skin-to-skin, and bath time adds connections that create lasting bonds.
Let's be real: A good schedule for your newborn is a great schedule for you. If you're routine-free, you'll find it impossible to do even simple things like shower. By creating a routine, you'll get to carve out a bit of much-needed time for yourself.
]]>Don't stress about the seemingly insurmountable goal that is baby shower décor. This woodland baby shower décor kit comes with 33 chic and woodsy decorations. From banners to cut out leaves and animals to a lovely cake topper, your decor is covered!
Perhaps you have your heart set on a baby shower gift that will help decorate the nursery. This woodland-themed height chart fits right in with the aesthetic and features a host of woodland animals. Now, the parents can track their little one's growth after every age milestone.
Why not turn the baby into a cuddly woodland creature? This woodland fox hooded spa robe will likely be one of the stand-out favorites in the growing pile of baby shower gifts. Now, Baby can look like a cute little fox after every nightly bath time.
]]>Though aqua and lavender have been color favorites for some time, 2021 sees these shades making their debut as a duo. Pick one color as the main shade and the other as the accent. In this gorgeous nursery, they've got aqua walls and furniture with splashes of lavender in the pillows, blankets, and wall art.
Rather than the bright shades of lime or primary green, 2021 is seeing the soothing shade of shale green as a must for a nursery. The rustic, natural shade goes well with neutral creams and off-whites. Whether you're going with a whole accent wall or splashes of shale green, the baby's room will look fresh and comforting.
Like shale green, burnt sienna is a rich, natural shade--but rather than invoking visions of the forest, this warm tone transports you and Baby to the desert. Combine rusty oranges and reds with splashes of gold and mustard for a magazine-worthy baby room. This color scheme works well as accents while keeping the rest of the room stark white.
The authority on all things color, Pantone, announced their colors of the year for 2021, one of which was Ultimate Gray. This ultra-neutral shade is a little tricky to work with, but if you can pull it off you're left with a chic nursery. Little touches of color and bright lighting prevent this shade from going too dark.
The other Pantone color of the year for 2021 is called Illuminating. It's a pale butter yellow that invokes feelings of summery sunshine. The paler the better with this shade. Whether it's the wallpaper, curtains or bedding, Illuminating makes a sunny shade for 2021.
]]>Bust out the macramé and beige rugs for a beautifully rustic boho baby shower. Hold the shower in the backyard and create little cozy seating areas with neutral-colored throw pillows. Raw wood completes the look.
While woodland baby showers are nothing new, as we get into 2021 you can update this classic shower. Rather than bright colors and cartoon animals, keep the color palette in the grey family. Wood accents, pine cones, and artsy foxes give the woodland vibe without making your home look like a daycare.
Perhaps you want something sleek and elegant. Go for a minimalistic theme with gender neutral colors. White, beige, and tan work great for this. Choose just a few decorations rather than covering every surface. If done right, your baby shower will look like it's straight out of a magazine.
Choose a baby shower theme reminiscent of a French countryside. The Bonjour Bebe theme features touches of greenery and French florals. Your guests will love your French-inspired menu of petits fours, charcuterie, and macarons.
Just like the woodland baby shower, the book-themed shower is getting a modern update in 2021. Decorate with pages from old books and create a gift table where guests shelve the books they've brought for baby. You could even use the Dewey Decimal System as a way to let people know where they sit if you have assigned seating.
]]>Rather than a boring bottle, make your baby's bottle special with a fox bottle buddy. It's a cozy velour wrap that hugs a bottle so Baby has a woodland friend to comfort them while they drink. Without the bottle, it fits perfectly inside a Christmas stocking.
With how easily baby socks can go missing, it's always nice to get a few pairs for the holidays. This sock set features four pairs of socks each with their own safari animal design. Roll up each pair and stick them inside your baby's stocking.
You can never have too many bibs! This gift set features a bib with a shark bite taken out of it and matching shark-themed booties. Wrap the box set and put it under the tree or separate the items and put them in Baby's stocking.
Sometimes a baby just wants comfort. When they find this soft and cuddly lamb lovie in their stocking, they won't want to let it go. The lovie is a nice creamy white blanket with a plush lamb in one corner.
It's time for your baby to celebrate the winter months in style. This gorgeous gift set comes with a cozy cardigan and matching pom pom hat in seasonal shades of blue. If you roll them up separately they'll fit right inside your baby's stocking.
]]>As a parent, not only are you taking care of your kid as they grow, but you're also helping them prepare for the real world. Whether it's about time management or how to lose a game gracefully, these lessons will make them more well-rounded as they grow older. A big life lesson that often gets overlooked is your child's relationship with money. Teaching the concept of saving doesn't have to be a boring task. Try these fun ways to teach your toddler how to save.
The first step to giving your toddler a bit of control is to let them make the decision on their piggy bank. While pig-shaped banks are classic, they come in a wide variety of animals, ships, and castles. Show your toddler some banks and let them pick their favorite.
Not only does a piggy bank teach saving, but it also shows the value of earning money. Let your toddler get coins in return for doing chores or winning games. Even just a nickel for a great win at Candy Land can be all the difference. After they earn, make a ceremony of putting the coin in the bank.
Of course, with saving money, your toddler should also learn about spending. As you play store with your child, show them that the money in their bank relates directly with the money spent on a cute plastic cupcake or fake banana. This way, your toddler will have a better idea of the worth of items the next time you go to the grocery store.
Perhaps your kid has a toy their coveting. Make a colorful chart to hang from their wall. Every time they add money to their bank, they can put a fun sticker on the chart to show that they're earning their way to their favorite toy.
Give your kid control by creating a spending game. Choose two or three items for them to choose from, along with how many coins it would take to buy each. Stickers, lollipops, or little trinkets all work great. By being able to choose something to "buy," you're teaching your toddler that they have control.

Although they may feature numbers as well as "days," "weeks," and "months," that doesn't mean milestone blocks won't find a welcome home in your growing block collection. Having blocks in a variety of shapes and sizes will help your baby use their imagination for new creations. Playtime is about to get a lot more interesting.
When it's time for learning numbers and colors, your milestone blocks will come in handy. Introduce the blocks into playtime and help count out the numbers. With numbers from 0 to 9, these blocks will help your baby become a counting master.
Fun toys are a necessity when it comes to tummy time. You'll want a variety of colors, shapes and sensations. Milestone blocks are colorful and soft, making them the perfect toy for this crucial playtime experience.
Even when they're not in-use, milestone blocks can still do their part. Place them on a shelf in the nursery for a quick bit of decor. You could even have them set up to reflect your little one's current age as a nice reminder.
Although the time block only goes up to "months," that doesn't mean you have to stop there. With the numbered blocks, you could use them for bigger milestones--even on their 18th birthday! Having milestone photos with the same blocks adds a whimsical touch to your photo albums.
]]>Rainbows are a hit for nurseries, but how do you bring them to the present day? Go for wallpaper designs that feature the rainbow motif with monochrome or subdued color schemes. The soft colors provide the wonder of rainbows with a relaxing vibe.
The main downside to childlike nursery wallpaper is that your child will soon grow out of the design. Rather than reaching for a woodland animal or circus theme, go for a chic, geometric wallpaper. This way, the design grows with your child or will be perfect when you want to convert the room to a home office after your kid goes off to college. Also, with geometric wallpaper, you can pull in any theme into the room with the right decor.
Even when your nursery has a distinctive design, you can still choose a wallpaper that brings an artistic floor. For a pirate or ocean-themed nursery, this gorgeous wave and mountain aesthetic fit the bill. At first glance, it feels abstract rather than being in-your-face about the theme.
This isn't your grandmother's floral wallpaper. Rather than an all-over design packed to the brim with tiny flowers, this trend features large flowers trickling from the ceiling. This is a great choice for a fairytale or woodsy nursery theme.
]]>Deck out your mimosa bar with this "Mom-Osa" bar 10-piece decor kit. In addition to a wide array of fruit juices and sparkling drinks, the kit comes with a lovely gold and pastel banner that says "Mom-osa Bar". The mother to be will feel extra loved whenever she glances over at her beautiful decor.
Of course, with a bubbly themed baby shower, you're going to need somewhere to put all of those tasty mimosas. Pick up a set or two of personalized stemless champagne glasses. Pick a design and write out the details of this momentous baby shower.
With all those drinks, your guests are going to need some tasty treats to go with the flow. The chic floral look of the baby shower can even extend to the tableware. Guests will feel fancy eating party treats from the geometric floral tableware collection.
Don't forget about the party favors! Stick your favorite candies in these champagne bobble favor containers. Not only do they fit the bubbly theme, but the personalized labels also make them tailored to your special event.
For years to come, the new parents will want to look back at their bubbly baby shower and remember everyone who came to celebrate. While you could pick a boring, traditional guest book, why not try something different? This cloud frame comes with little wooden hearts for guests to write their names on and place inside.
Looking for party games to jazz up the baby shower? For the belly game, guests guess how big the mom-to-be's belly has become--and the closest wins! The belly game kit comes with everything you need for the game, including measuring tape, answer sheet and ribbons for the winners.
]]>Sea creatures are more than welcome at bath time. Turn your baby into a lobster with a lobster hooded towel perfect for babies up to 9 months old. It's made of cozy terry cloth and features a lobster face and claws in the hood and even a lobster tail.
Lovers of farm animals will adore this Utterly Adorable hooded spa towel. Imagine your little one mooing along to "Old MacDonald Had a Farm" while wrapped in this cozy cow towel. Now, that's a special end to bath time.
Fairy tales are a storytelling staple for many bath time and bedtime routines, which makes mythical creatures a must. If you'd prefer to extend the magical fun, dry off baby with a unicorn hooded towel. It has a gorgeous golden horn sticking right out from the terry cloth hood.
Time to outfit your little monkey in the perfect hooded spa robe. This Born to be Wild monkey robe is made of soft, fluffy brown terry cloth with a monkey face in the hood. Monkeying around will be allowed after bath time. Check out that cute tail!
Whether your baby is just home from the hospital or they're celebrating their 9-month milestone, they're going to look positively perfect in this penguin hooded spa robe. The face in the hood and the little tail feathers turn baby into a cute penguin. Get their initial embroidered on the front to personalize it just for them.
]]>Steer clear of primary colors for your mid-century nursery. The room should feel bright and airy with white or cream linens and natural wood accents. If you're looking for accent colors, go for muted or pastel shades.
Bring in touches of the abstract with wall art. Splashes of color or geometric designs will inspire the imagination of your child as they grow. Creating nursery art could even be a fun DIY project as you get closer to the due date.
No safari or circus wallpaper for you. Instead, a simple one- or two-color geometric wallpaper will fit the mid-century abstract aesthetic. If you're nervous about covering the whole room in a geometric design, stick with one accent wall right behind of the crib.
Bring the abstract design into the rug as well. An accent rug will tie the whole design of the room together. Plus, it will be a favorite place to play once Baby gets a little older and can scope out colors and shapes.
Now that the walls and floor have been given the mid-century abstract treatment, it's time to think about the little decor items that turn this room into a home. Stick with neutral colors for toys, like this white lamb lovie. A few pops of color here and there can go a long way as well.
