The best gifts for baby showers

Trying to decide on gifts for baby showers but not sure where to start? Check out these ideas. One of the most common problems parents face is putting the newborn to sleep. That fact immediately suggests the top gifts for baby showers. Parents have found certain products very useful for the little one's sleep-time - CDs with music specifically designed for the purpose, night lamps and crib mobiles. You may want to give a combination of these items - that'll definitely be a valuable present for new parents-to-be.

First-time parents are also somewhat anxious about their newborn. There's an excellent anxiety buster available - a portable monitor. That's the number two choice among gifts for baby showers. Monitors allow parents to hear the baby from anywhere - kitchen, living room, etc. They're quite sensitive and can often pick up sounds as faint as the little one's breathing. If your budget allows it, there are also video monitors available.

A playpen or activity gym is also an excellent gift for baby showers. This is a safe structure of bars and arches from which various colorful toys are suspended. Some advanced versions have noisemakers and other accessories. There are portable versions available for parents on the move.

Babies love to snuggle close to dad and mom. A baby sling is designed to hold them close while moving about. Parents often find that babies who cry continually while being carried in papoose style carriers are quite happy in a sling. So that's another top gift to give at showers.

Lastly, if you're looking for fun gifts for baby showers, try a diaper cake. These are multi-tier arrangements of diapers, bottles, bibs, booties, socks, pacifiers and other infant items. Looks great, and is full of useful stuff. Mommy will sure love it!
