I remember when I was a young teacher and one of my close friends was having her first child. I was thrilled about her "great expectation" and could not wait to meet her precious new baby. But then came the invitation to the baby shower, and my teacher's salary did not allow much room for an extravagant gift. I needed some ideas for an inexpensive baby shower gift. I wanted to find a baby gift that would be personal, cute, and loved by both mom and baby, but I wondered if it were possible to find an inexpensive baby shower gift that could meet that criteria.
Being a teacher, I loved books and decided that I could create a unique baby shower gift from some of my favorite children's' books. A local craft store had a weekly 40% coupon in the Sunday paper, and I was able to buy a beautiful baby shower gift basket for 40% off the regular price. I then found a Border's coupon and was able to buy some sweet baby board books as well as some of my favorite children books. I was pleased with the gift I had made and felt like I had given a nice baby gift, while staying within my budget. Another inexpensive baby shower gift could be baby supplies. Every new mother needs diapers, diaper rash ointment, bottles, bibs, and more diapers. Again, coupons are a helpful way to buy some of these items at a lower cost.
If you want a personalized baby shower gift, you can make a baby wipes box and decorate it with the baby's name and other pictures. A bib with a monogram is another fun personalized baby gift. One gift that my friend received at her baby shower was a sturdy, personalized stepping stool for when the baby grew a little older. The woman painted the baby's name on the stool and decorated it with warm colors and creative designs. If you use your imagination and a few coupons, you will find that a fun, inexpensive baby shower gift isn't as impossible as you may have thought.
