The Ultimate Basics
The fact of the matter is that new moms can never have too many basics, like diapers, lotions, and wipes. Even though they might not seem like the most clever baby shower gifts, helping to provide the staples is a great way to make life easier for everyone when the new baby arrives home.

Other Essentials
New parents can expect to clean up lots of messes during the first few months (and years), so help keep the nursery smelling fresh by gifting a new diaper pail. Changing-table helpers are also a win, like changing-pad covers and lots of extra wipes. These underrated items will come in very handy.

Just For Baby
While there's no doubt that newborns are beyond adorable, they can also be the biggest mess-makers. Help Mom stock her baby's drawers with onesies, burp cloths, and extra baby blankets so that she isn't worrying about keeping up with laundry. For those messes that are a little too big for just a change of clothes, gentle baby washes are a thoughtful and practical gift option.

Just For Mom and Dad
Parenting is tough, especially for new parents who are nervous about getting everything just right. Show new moms and dads some love with a care package just for them. Fill it with chocolate bars, chic baby swaddles, a bottle of wine, and an IOU for a grocery trip so they don't have to run out when they're tired. And don't forget a baby monitor!

For Those Crazy Late-Night Feedings
The little bundle of joy will keep Mom up at night with late feedings, so help make it easier on her with a bottle warmer and a big, cozy blanket. She can wrap herself and her baby in it for warmth and comfort.
