Baby Shower Gifts That Beat the Registry

Registries handle diapers. You handle the thing they didn't know to ask for. Personalized board books are the shower gift parents still mention at the first birthday.

The short answer

The best baby shower gift is one the registry can't create — a personalized Names & Faces or Story Book is the most-kept option.

Pair with a registry item

  • Add diapers in size 1 AND size 2 (newborn is a 2-week size).
  • A pack of muslin swaddles is always used and rarely duplicated.
  • A silicone bib set outlasts every cloth bib.
