Best baby shower gift ideas
For a DIY baby shower gift hamper, you can personalise your gift set to the gender, if known, and new mums (and dads) taste. Baby gift baskets leave so much room for interpretation of personal style and flavour. What’s popular for new babies in South Africa:
- Baby clothing and accessories colours have traditionally been blue for baby boy gifts, pink for baby girl, and cream, yellow or purple for gender neutral, but popular colours now include grey, silver, rose gold, gold or white, dusty pink, aqua, and modern monochrome (black and white, often with gray).
- Most loved themes include nautical, elephants, jungle, unicorn, under the sea, little prince/princess, garden party, ducks… the list is endless.
- Top trending patterns include floral for girls, stripes for boys, nature prints, and polka dots are also timeless.
Of course, you can also treat new mom with a postpartum gift basket. Anything that relieves swelling, discomfort, hunger and tiredness expectant or new moms experience will be well appreciated. Gifts like foot cream, eye pillows, soothing clean burning soy candle and bath bombs, dried fruit and nuts, etc.
