Kiki & Sebby Muslins

Starts from £29.80 for a pack of 3

I’ve encountered countless muslins over the years, but these are undeniably some of the softest ones I’ve ever felt. As a parent of three, I’ve put them to extensive use! With a generous 120 x 120cm swaddle and a 70cm x 70cm muslin square, they’re versatile gifts that parents will reach for daily. From wiping dribbles to serving as a breastfeeding cover, swaddle, blanket, or play mat, the possibilities are endless. I’m a big fan of gifts that offer multiple functions!

Jasper The Dreamy Elephant

RRP: £49.99 – currently available from Amazon for £39.99

This product could earn you major brownie points, as every parent dreams of their baby and toddler getting a good night’s sleep. Let’s face it, when the little one is asleep, parents can finally catch up on some much-needed rest. Jasper has been put to the test by the Parenting Expert team, or rather, by their children, so I just had to feature him. Sure, his cuteness factor helps, but what really sets him apart are his six different tried and tested white and pink noise options. Along with a voice recording feature, a cry sensor, and a warm, comforting red glowing tummy. Putting aside all the technical details, the bottom line is: that he works, and my child sleeps!

Purflo Starlight Colour Changing Room Thermometer

RRP: £28

If you are into interiors then you are going to absolutely love this. However, as we all know it is not just about looks! The Starlight Colour Changing Room Thermometer does exactly what it’s supposed to do and measures the temperature in the baby’s room, not only that it also changes colour depending on the temperature. It displays blue for temperatures below 14°C, green for the ideal range of 15-20°C, amber for temperatures rising to 21-26°C, and red for temperatures exceeding 27°C. The temperature of where your baby is sleeping is always a worry for parents – they don’t want to get it too hot but nor do they want to get it too cold. The Starlight Colour Changing Room Thermometer is the ultimate reassurance for parents.

Lassig Nursery Caddy To Go

RRP: £23.96

So this is our practical addition to our list of great Baby Shower gifts, practical BUT at the same time still would look lovely in any house. We would pop a few newborn nappies in (a reusable one if parents are planning on using these) as well as some baby wipes and nappy cream. It’s available in a few designs so bound to be something that appeals to parents-to-be whatever their age or taste in decor. Yes, it’s a practical present but you will know that it will be used on a daily basis and it is unlikely that Great Aunt Sally will have bought the same gift to the party!

Nattou Pui Pui

RRP: From £17.89 – £19.95

A Baby Shower Gift list would not be complete without a cuddly toy and this has been one of my favourite gift purchases for a number of years. The Nattou  Lapidou Pui Puis Octopus is available in a wide range of colours but it is the design and the story/reasoning behind it that has always appealed to me. Each of the tentacles is the same diameter as your umbilical cord once you reach 8-9 months gestation. Inside the womb we know that a baby often grabs hold of this so it makes perfect sense to design a toy with this in mind. I have seen very young babies grab hold of a tentacle as if their life depended upon it so I am talking from experience. Plus I think that there is a high chance that this may become the little ones’ go-to cuddly toy (so perhaps you should buy two in case one gets lost!).

EcoRascals Bamboo Duck Plate Gift Set

RRP: £43.90

After attending numerous Baby Showers, including my own, it’s clear that newborn-centric gifts abound. But maybe it’s time to think beyond the usual and consider something for the baby’s future needs. One range that stands out is EcoRascals. For instance, their charming elephant design, which happens to be a favourite with my little one. These gift sets offer a refreshing alternative for baby shower presents. The suction-based plate and bowl in their set are particularly handy. Helping to thwart baby’s attempts at food flinging (a common occurrence, believe me!). Parents will surely appreciate this thoughtful gift, especially since it comes in multiple colours, so you’re not limited to just yellow, of course.

Ergobaby Aura Wrap

RRP: £59.90

As a passionate advocate for baby-wearing, I’ve come to appreciate the incredible benefits of using a wrap carrier first-hand. It wasn’t until I had my third child that I discovered the magic of wrapping, and I immediately wished I had known about it earlier! For me, it quickly became a “must-have” item, especially when my baby seemed to be fussier than usual. That’s why I believe that gifting a wrap carrier could be the ultimate Baby Shower present that parents will truly cherish once their little bundle of joy arrives. Not only does it offer practicality and convenience, but it also promotes bonding between parent and child—a priceless gift in itself.

Wooden Parent Decision Flip Coin

RRP: £3.95

Here’s a fun find I first stumbled upon on Etsy! Once your little bundle of joy arrives, there’ll be plenty of moments you won’t be sharing on Instagram – think poonami nappies and projectile vomit mishaps! These adorable wooden discs offer a playful solution to the age-old question: Mum or Dad for the clean-up duty? Plus, they come neatly packaged in a cute gift box, saving you the hassle of wrapping!

Well that’s the gifts covered! But if you are having a Baby Shower, it maybe that you want to push the boat out and celebrate in real style. Poptop have endless options to make that day really special. There are lots of options from Alice in Wonderland Themed Afternoon Tea (one of our favourite options), or perhaps you need to hire a marquee. They have so many options!

When it comes to choosing the perfect gift for a Baby Shower, the options seem endless. But fear not, we’ve done the legwork to compile a curated list of the finest gifts—all under £60! In times where finances may be tight for many, it’s reassuring to know that memorable and thoughtful gifts need not break the bank. So, let’s explore a range of affordable yet unforgettable presents that are sure to delight any mum-to-be!

Happy Shopping!
