5 Low Cost Baby Shower Gifts

I know its been a while since I have posted anything. I've been super busy. So here it goes, I'll be attending a baby shower at the end of the month and also being inspired by my own (back in September), I wanted to post a few baby shower gift ideas. I know that shopping for a gift for someone can be a challenge even when they have registered at a particular store. Here's a few ideas that are nice and will be used my mom and baby:

1.) Baby bath and lotion sets.
The good about these is that they don't expire and can be used for any age. They have premade sets such as the Johnson's Bedtime (about $11) or you can make your own. I know they also have a travel set that includes mini bottles, however, the diaper rash cream isn't in a tube, its more like a sample and once you open it there's no way to close it. I used mine once and ended up getting it everywhere.

2.) Blankets.
You can never have too many blankets whether its receiving blankets, fuzzy blankets, etc. You will use them constantly for everything such as a changing mat, burp cloth, or just to cover up baby. Blankets are a must.

3.) Pacifiers.
I registered for these but no one bought them. I ended up getting them myself. I would look at the mom's registry for the specific brand she wants.You know that these will be used.

4.) Diapers and wipes.
We all know these will get used. I know when I had my shower I got a bunch of diapers and wipes,  it was nice to have a mini stockpile.

5.) Sleepers.
A pack of sleepers is nice also. My favorite is made by Gerber. I got them as a gift. It was a pack of 3 and they zipped instead of snaps. Makes it a lot easier during those late night diaper changes.

Hoped you enjoyed my top 5 low cost baby shower gifts.
