A baby shower is a really exciting event for a mama to be. For me, buying baby gifts is almost as exciting. I love gifting my favorite pieces to friends: the ones that saved us in those early months or the ones that bring up so many wonderful memories when my little kids were babies. If there is a registry, I tend to stick to it for my main gift since the parents clearly went through and selected each product they want. If they are anything like me, they put a ton of time and research into their list.
I created this gift guide with the help of my pregnant friends or those with young babies and by polling the Hey Mama community to come up with comprehensive list of our collective mama must haves/favorites.
