Choose a Store

When choosing a store to register baby shower gifts, it has to be convenient for the majority of people who will be attending the baby shower. There are many online baby stores where a mom can register if she doesn't want to do it at a local gift store. There are some websites that let moms register for everything they need without selecting a store. People who check the registry can immediately go to the personal page of the mom-to-be and view the list of items that she wants.

Consider the Necessary Items

Health and safety baby items are good suggestions to begin with. These usually include a thermometer, diapers, baby bottles, burp cloths, wipes, car seat, stroller, baby formula, baby bathtub, baby blankets, newborn clothing, or a crib. It is a good idea to register a wide variety of items so that guests can find something that fits their budget.

Other Gift items

Other baby items that may not be necessary, but still nice to have, are a swing, rocking chair, changing table, bouncy seat, playpen, highchair, jogging stroller, washcloths, wipe warmer, or a diaper dispenser. If baby clothes are on the list, the mom should consider registering for bigger size clothing and clothes for each season.

Parents Gifts

Moms may also include gifts for themselves, as well as gifts for dads. Books about caring for a newborn are excellent ideas. Other options could be breast pads, stretch mark creams, nursing bras or a breast pump. If there are a few generous family members or friends, a video camera or digital camera can really make a wonderful new mom gift to capture new baby memories.
