10 unique baby shower gifts

All gift ideas have been editorially chosen by the writer; there is no compensation in exchange for recommendations.

Fall baby shower season is here and last weekend I attended my first of the month. I know that protocol is that you get something from the registry. The thing is, it’s more fun to walk in with a unique baby shower gift… so that’s what I did. Here’s a glimpse of what I gifted, and a few more unique baby gifts that I want to give next time.

1. The Miracle Blanket® ($29.99) makes it easy to get the perfect swaddle every time, even in the dark! Your babywill sleep better, longer and will be less fussy since he/she will finally get the sleep they (and you) so desperately need. The fabric is a super soft 100% cotton knit that is breathable so that it can be used in warm climates while still being luxurious enough to keep your baby warm in cooler places. It also has just enough stretch to absorb your baby’s movements without coming undone. Also, it is durable and stands up to constant use and washing. Most importantly, it is a safe and secure alternative to traditional swaddling, helping babies sleep better on their backs through 14 weeks, and allowing freedom of movement from the hips down.

2. Honest’s NEW diaper prints ($13.95) features red elephants and blue donkey’s holding hands in recognition of the upcoming presidential election. The super-absorbent, ultra soft, hypoallergenic are made without chlorine processing and additives like fragrances, lotions, and latex.

3. Stride Rite Soft Motion Dawson ($42) are the perfect shoes for kids.
