With my firstborn, I was apprehensive about wearing a baby carrier since they looked uncomfortable and unsafe. I can’t vouch for other styles and brands, but I can truthfully say that this isn’t a fraction of the truth with the 6-in-1 COMPLETE Woven Baby Carrier (Sand Dollar; $240) from LÍLLÉbaby. My 3-month-old is at a stage where he doesn’t like being confined, causing him to be squirmy! That is why he didn’t seem to like being placed into the baby carrier at first, but he has gotten used to it now. This makes it a comfortable experience for the both of us. It also helps that the carrier is made of a superbly soft fabric that is a blend of 47% Tencel and 53% cotton.
Onesies, bodysuits, or one-pieces, whatever you refer them as, make fantastic gifts! They’re adorable as they’re versatile, making them the basic staple for every baby’s wardrobe.

You can also pair it with any of Estella’s New York-themed baby toys for a complete baby gift set. This company specializes in eclectic, high-end designer baby and children’s clothes. The concept behind Estella was to bring the amazing, artisan-inspired kids’ clothing they saw scattered across Europe here to New York.
Unless you have been living underneath a proverbial rock, the days of hauling a cumbersome Pack ’n Play from one destination to the next are long gone! This is because of the holy grail of baby gear: the DockATot! The DockATot is a portable co-sleeper and lounger that has won the approval of everyday and celebrity moms alike, from Kim Kardashian and Emilie de Ravin to Lauren Conrad and Coco Rocha.

Especially if it is quality, functionality, and versatility that you’re wanting. The DockATot Deluxe+ Dock is definitely baby shower gift-worthy. The recipient may send you another thank you card down the road – even if they already sent you one after the shower!

Have you ever tried grocery shopping with a new baby? Or worse, a baby and a toddler? How do you do it? Where do you put them? Most shopping carts have space for one child to sit upright near the handlebars. This is great if you have just one child and they can sit upright. But what about a floppy newborn? And don’t even think about setting that infant carrier up on top of your cart. According to the Consumer Product Safety Commission, “falls from shopping carts are among the leading causes of head injuries to young children.” Your precious bundle of joy deserves a safer way to shop.
The Binxy Baby Shopping Cart Hammock ($49.95) provides just that. The patented, one-of-a-kind hammock is a soft and cozy seat that hangs elevated inside the basket portion of a shopping cart, allowing plenty of room for groceries. It provides a comfy, safe place for an infant who is not quite ready to sit up yet.
Giveaway
One winner will receive an Organic Stripe Baby Romper with Bear & Hat (a $105 value) from Estella NYC.
I’ve always loved handmade items and when I was expecting our first child, a friend had someone she knew in Ireland, knit a number of different sweaters and a blanket for our baby boy. These were the most precious gifts.
I prefer to give money to any baby shower I attend. That way the mother can pick out specifically what she needs.
I was grateful for every single gift but gift cards are nice for buying what you really need.
Baby wipes are the best gift
I love things from the heart!
I enjoyed everything that I received but I got 3 diaper bags….. which I actually loved.
I loved the home made baby blanket.
How cute! They have such amazing stuff! Estella gets my vote. I love unique clothing for kids. They kind of have a vintage and chic vibe at the same time.
I loved my baby Bjorn bouncer. I didn’t think I needed one but was great for when I needed to shower or get ready. Easy to carry anywhere.
I like the car seat we got

Diapers were the best!
I am expecting in March, and my baby shower is in a couple of months. I am hoping to stock up on onsies, bows and bibs!
I think the thing I loved most was the car-seat cover.
I love onesies most as the are just so needed
I loved the diapers the most
My second child is adopted, and the very nicest thing was done by the people with whom I worked. She was born on November 30, and I received her straight from the hospital, but since I had no idea when or how old the child would be , I had minimal supplies already available. At the Christmas party a little later, they had a surprise baby shower for me. I truly cannot remember any particular gift, but I will always cherish the memory of what they did!
I love diapers and wipes.
Diapers are what we liked the most.
Really…I loved the most practical ones that were going to save me money and make life easier in that respect! Baby products such as shampoo, diapers, etc. were great!
I absolutely loved the boppy pillow I received! Also a couple of John Lennon outfits and blankets from Carters!
I got a check for $500 that was the best. I put it towards a crib and dresser.
I loved the cradle that I got from the baby shower.
I had a star rug made, it was amazing.
I like Boppies.
Oh my that was a long time ago, but I used the swing the most and it was a most wonderful item.
I am now fixing to be a grandma to my daughters 1st and she has nothing yet, so we have been looking around and sooooo many new things out there that were not around when she was born.
I liked the blankets.
I like the fun bibs.
My friend made me a home made monkey diaper cake! It was by far the best thing I’ve ever seen.
I loved the autographed teddy bear with a word on it from eve tone at the shower.
I appreciate everything but love looking at all the cloths
I love to give diapers and wipes at a baby shower. Nobody likes to buy that kind of stuff but you need it and have to have it. It makes a great gift!
I would say it was either the car seat or the baby swing. My daughter was born with severe colic and it lasted for months, while I loved carrying my baby and holding her any chance I got, I found the swing was great for soothing her when I had to cook, eat, shower and go toilet, it also helped her sleep at times when I was unable to comfort her.
diapers and a lot of them, I was really practical one
