Need a new baby gift? Whatever the budget, we've got you. Whether the parent-to-be is going all out with a big party, or keeping things more low-key, we’re here to help with our practical gift guide full of baby shower gift ideas. 

Baby Shower Gifts for Mum 

When buying gifts for a baby shower, it’s a good idea to not only think of the tiny new arrival but also about the new parent.  

Practical presents for new parents might include a breast pump, breast pads and nipple cream, and you could also think about buying them some cosy new PJs, or maybe get them a voucher for a beauty treatment or a postpartum massage to redeem when they feel ready for some solo time.

*T&C bin individually twists and wraps each nappy, locking away odours and germs. Antibacterial protection is present in the film and not the other components of this product. Film is treated with Biomaster silver biocide tested to ISO 22196-2011. Please use biocides responsibly.

The Ultimate Best Baby Shower Gifts 

If you want to spend a little more or are buying a gift as part of a group, then we’ve got lots of great baby shower gift ideas for you.  

A Perfect Prep® machine 

Tommee Tippee prep machines make a perfect bottle of formula at the right temperature, fast. They’re 3 am lifesavers for tired new parents who’re using formula as part of their feeding routine. No boiling? No cooling? Less waiting? And less to clean up? Sounds perfect!

Sterilisers 

Sterilising is an important step when feeding a baby because it protects their developing immune system. We’ve got a range of sterilisers that use UV light or steam to ensure that all of their baby's feeding equipment (including breast pumps and bottles) is sterile, safe and ready to use.  

Baby monitors 

Our baby monitors are specially designed to give parents extra peace of mind while their baby sleeps.  

All-in-one bundles 

When looking for the perfect gift for a new parent (and their baby), you can’t go wrong with an exclusive Tommee Tippee bundle. Get everything they’ll need to bottle or breastfeed, for less!

Ultimate Baby Shower Gifts

Unique Baby Shower Gifts 

If your other friends or relatives have all the practical gifts on the baby shower gift list covered, you could opt for something less conventional, but no less lovely.  

Something to eat 

Parenting is hungry work, and it can be hard for new mums and dads to find the time (or the energy) to shop for groceries and prepare nutritious meals. A meal box subscription is a great gift idea. It’ll mean that they have one less thing to think about during the day and that they continue to eat well as they get used to being a parent.  

Something to capture memories 

A baby memory book is a great present idea. You could also include an old-school disposable camera for the new parents to snap some pics of their new arrival when they’re first born. By the time they get the film developed and stick the photos in the book, they’ll be well into the swing of parenting and will love looking back on those precious early memories. 

Buying vouchers for a newborn photoshoot is another lovely gift idea. There are tons of talented photographers who offer this kind of service, and the final images are something that the new parents will treasure forever.  

Something personalised 

If you know what the name of the new baby is going to be, you could get a personalised gift for their nursery. We love the idea of a framed print decorated with the new baby’s name. 

Use a Tommee Tippee Wishlist 

If you’re not sure what to gift and want to let the new parents choose, then why not suggest that they create their very own baby shower gift list with the help of Tommee Tippee?  

All they need to do is… 

  1. Log into their Tommee Tippee account, or sign up to create one
  2. Browse the Tommee Tippee site and find the products that they’d love to receive. 
  3. Add them to their wishlist by clicking on the love heart icon.  
  4. View their completed wishlist by clicking on the love heart icon in the top right-hand corner of the screen. 
  5. From there, they can share their wishlist with friends and family via email and include a message of thanks.
