Along with a baby shower invite often comes the mounting pressure to bring the ultimate, meets-all-criteria gift. With many soon-to-be mothers reluctant to divulge what's on their baby wishlist, many attendees try their luck at mind-reading with their offerings. To avoid any hush-hush gift pass-ons, Vogue Scandinavia's shopping team have covered all bases with a gift guide for all types of gift-giver, from everyday essentials to timeless treasures; the below selection caters to all.
For the mother and the baby
More often than not, baby shower gifting centres around the baby, failing to account for the expectant mother - no doubt also in need of some tender loving care. So what better way to celebrate the mother-to-be than with a bouquet of freshly bloomed flowers signifying new beginnings or the more practical canvas pram maternity bag courtesy of Oysho for essential storage.
Everyday essentials
The power of an essential is not to be underestimated. Everyday but elevated, the two-piece bottle set from Konges Sløjd makes for a lovely design twist on feeding time. Bound to make the baby smile, these animal-themed novelties, including a tableware set, shark towel, and rhino toy, will undoubtedly bring joy to the little one's face.
Gifts to treasure forever
For those closer to the expectant mother, or if you prefer to impart a more sentimental offering, this 'gifts to treasure edit' is the way to go. Whether the Mother-to-be wishes to frame precious moments captured on camera or read the paperback to promote much-needed mother-baby bonding, these gifts are bound to hold a special place in her heart for years to come.
Baby clothes and accessories
Featuring a snug, cotton all-in-one from H&M, animal knit tights by Stella McCartney and a cosy romper set by Mini Rodini, the below edit will ensure the baby arrives in style and has much-needed clothing comfort during those first few months.
