A Homemade Baby Shower Gift

Giving a homemade baby shower gift shows that you took the time to really think it through.

Scrabble Board Wall Hanging A unique baby gift that is sure to be a nursery conversation piece to say the least. Combine words that are meaningful to the family, the baby's name, or other inspiring words. Glue the tiles to the board and frame in a shadow box.

Bows for Baby Girls Put together a little box of bows and hair accessories for a sweet baby girl. Most moms love to dress their little girls up in frills and bows and a baby hair accessory kit will be just what she needs. You can easily make bows from soft ribbon, or buy what you need. KY Jelly, a glue stick or Elmer's glue works great as an adhesive for babies with very little or no hair. Seriously!

No Sew Fleece Blanket This is an easy homemade baby shower gift. It requires very minimal sewing and the finished baby blanket will be decorative, soft, and warm. Check out this alternative to the standard no-sew blanket adapted just for babies.

Baby Scrapbook Starter Kit Find appropriate paper, embellishments, and an album to get her going on recording all those wonderful times that are sure to come. Personalize the front of the album with the baby's name if you know it.

Homemade Baby Soap The perfect homemade baby gift idea. There are kits available that are quite simple but yield very elegant results. Why not give a traditional baby gift like soap in a unique way by making it yourself? Not only will your gift be impressive, it will also be better for baby's skin.

A homemade gift shows you didn't just go to your nearest department store, choose the most obvious item on the baby gift registry, and slap it in a gift box. You put a lot of thought, time and effort into your gift, and that will be apparent when she opens it.

Do you sew? There are dozens of patterns available for baby clothes and accessories. A handmade matching layette set was one of the most memorable and unique baby gifts I received for my first baby.
