Do you always feel envious of the guest who presents the guest of honor with a handmade baby shower gift? The ability to handcraft such a gift is truly a gift itself. Unfortunately, it’s a gift you don’t possess. Or do you? You may not think so, but just because it’s a handmade baby shower gifts doesn’t mean it was hard to make.
So you’re not a sewer. Or so you think. If you know how to thread a needle and you can sew a straight line, one handmade baby shower gift you can probably create is a snuggly baby blanket. A couple of pieces of fabric, thread, and some batting are all you need. If your sewing skills are good, you can try tackling baby clothes, bibs, pillow-soft baby blocks, a play mat, diaper bag, changing pad, holiday ornaments, stuffed fabric letters for decorating walls, or any of the other essential or cute baby things that can be sewn.
Good with wood? Then why go to the store to get the gift when you can show up with a handmade baby shower gift? If you’re really good – and ambitious – you could try creating a rocking horse. That’s something every baby needs. So are wooden building blocks. Even something as simple (or elaborate, depending on your skill level) as a wooden picture frame is a gift that’ll surely be appreciated.
There’s even more you can do with your own two hands if you’ve got the time, the determination and of course, the ability. But if you swear you have none of this and there’s absolutely no chance of giving a handmade baby shower gift, there’s still hope. Just turn on your computer or get out the fancy paper, markers and stamps and try designing a card to go along with whatever gift you do end up giving. Personalized with your own words, a custom-designed baby shower greeting card something the new parent is sure to treasure forever!
