Baby shower gift

I've just been invited to a friends baby shower. I don't really want to get baby clothes, as I'm sure everyone else will be getting her plenty.

What quirky useful gifts can I get? Budget is around £100 and gender is a surprise.

So I’d be tempted to go light for the baby shower, I bought my best friend a mobile, but tbh she loved all the creams, nappies, wipes, muslins etc. Her babies gender was as surprise too

I then bought the proper gift when the baby was born. I bought my nieces personalised silver trinket boxes perfect for jewellery or first teeth/hair etc

What about a Steiff bear?
The White Company for a special blanket (you can get cot blanket and pram blankets)
Or maybe a Newborn photo shoot

Sadly I've moved away now. So I won't be back to see her for a few months after the birth. So its a duel gift I guess.

I’ve bought a few personalised Beatrix potter books that come with a bunny in a lovely gift box and they’ve been well received. They do only come in blue though. Just realised though, this would have to be after the birth so an utterly useless post from me

I think this is a lovely gift.

I like books as a gift and the addition of a toy/character just makes it more personal and special.

We bought a nephew Goldilocks and the Three Bears book and three different sized bears when he was a toddler, his favourite story and toys.

She loves books. I have got a baby's first sensory book as a gift. But I'm wary of getting the classics incase she already receives them. So I'm trying to think outside the box a bit. I think I'm going to go mostly practical with muslins, bibs etc, then maybe a keepsake/special gift 🤔

If you want to go a little bit different you could get her a hippychick seat. It fits around the waist and has a small seat on it. You don’t see many people with them, I had one with my DS and it was amazing. I used to keep it in the car so that if I needed to dash in somewhere I could put it on and not bed too worry about the buggy. It’s so lovely to be able to carry baby close, but not in a conventional carrier that is hard to put on and off. We took ours on many holidays, day trips etc and I would highly recommend it. It’s a bit of a different present but totally useful and something they are not likely to be bought or buy themselves. You could also buy a more personal gift and some muslins etc with the rest of your budget.

It says from 6 months but I used mine from 4 months.
