One of the toughest tasks new parents face is putting the little one to sleep. Anything that helps in this department is welcome. There are certain products that parents have found helpful for this purpose. They include CDs with soothing music designed to help babies sleep, a night lamp and crib mobiles. A combination of these items can make very practical baby shower gifts.

First-time parents are understandably somewhat nervous about their newborn. That's why a portable monitor makes a great shower gift for new parents-to-be. They can listen in on the infant from any room. Monitors are quite sophisticated these days, and can pick up even small sounds like baby's breathing. They're great stress-busters for parents. There are also excellent (although more expensive) video monitors available.

Babies naturally like to play. Therefore, a playpen or activity gym makes an excellent unique baby shower gift. Playpens have a safe structure of bars and arches with toys of various kinds, colors and textures suspended from various points. Some even include noisemakers and other fun stuff.

A car seat is another wonderful present. New parents will find this one handy right from the time they leave hospital. There are seats designed for infants only as well as infant-toddler convertible seats. You now have the pleasant task of choosing among these top five unique baby shower gifts. Have fun!
