Presents are a big part of a baby shower but the presents that really stand out are realistic ones! Things that can be used daily.

Here is my list (with some help of my lovely Instagram followers) of the best baby shower gifts! 

Home made hamper of real gifts! On their own these gifts may not seem like much but choose a few and throw them all into a cute storage basket of toy box and it's the prefect gift! 

Bigger sizes of clothing, Next seasons bedding! Things that mummas will think they have plenty of time to get in the future. Little do they know it will sneak up on them so quickly! Here are a few others:

Books are something that can be used from the moment you bring your baby home and continue to use as they grow. I would have loved to get more books at my baby shower as I read to Charlie all the time! 

Now this is something I didn't have for Charlie but a lovely IGer brought this to my knowledge! It's a mirror that sits on the head rest of the back seat, so you can see baby when they are rear facing! What a fab idea!

A massage or pamper voucher to use to relax before bub arrives would be a lovely touch. Even a eye wake up concealer to use on the mornings which you had no sleep! Trust me mummas will love these gifts too.
