First conceptualised in the USA, baby showers have become increasingly popular across the UK. An excellent way for family and close friends to gather together and celebrate the upcoming arrival of a new addition. A newborn baby or a baby-in-waiting becomes the perfect excuses for a party. However, what baby gift to buy expectant parents can soon become a dilemma of epic proportions.
Fear not! We at Willow and Cole although a little biased have explored the latest Baby Shower Gift trends sweeping the UK below.
The gift of time?
A new phenomenon which has swept its way over the pond from the US is being able to offer your time as a baby sitter for exhausted parents. This can be as little as sitting in one evening and looking after the little cherub, so Mum and Dad can take some time out and enjoy time away from nappy sacks and baby bottles.
An excellent thought as a baby shower gift however this can be fraught with the danger of other cynical attendees and possibly the new parents thinking that you are trying to save the expense of providing a physical gift. In our opinion great in addition to a tangible baby shower gift. Practicality boring or useful?
