Good morning!! Today, I am so excited to be partnering up with Nakturnal to share my go-to gift ideas for the mama to be’s in your life! They have so many unique, handmade gifts at every price point while still giving the feel of a luxury gift. When putting together a baby shower gift, I love to compile a couple of things (yes, I am usually the one that strays from the registry…especially if I know the mama well) that I love! I find it helps unite in the name of motherhood, connect over products that worked for us, even before I was a mama myself. After all, it takes a village!
I like to give something from each of the following categories:
A product you love
1. Fels-Naptha Laundry Soap Miracle soap, I tell you. Run hot water, scour with this soap and then let it soak. You will never know poopacalypse ever happened in the middle of a restaurant when you forgot another onesie, except for the scar it leaves on your soul.
2. A pack of your favorite wipes These wipes are real soft, y’all. Real soft.
3. Healing Balm As I’ve mentioned here, here, and here, I slather this balm on everything. Cradle cap, scratches, mosquito bites, everything.
4. Best soap for washing bottles. I buy it for everyone having a baby.
A little something your baby loves
5. A favorite Bink
6. A Favorite Book
7. A Favorite Toy (now through July 4th 20% off with code ‘Indep20off’)
A Keepsake
8. Freshly Picked Moccasins I will never have enough good things to say about these shoes. I LOVE that I have E’s footprints forever.
9. Every child has a blanket that they have and keep forever. This one is handmade and actually a really good deal for the quality and style that will really last a lifetime! (20% off with code ‘Indep20off’)
Then I love to throw all the items into something that they will use when baby comes! I love this pink pom bucket! Also comes in blue and grey! Perfect for storing toys!
What are your go-to shower gifts? Do you stick to the registry? A little bit of both? So fun showering all these mamas–I always get so excited!
Hope you all have a great weekend and Fourth of July holiday!

I have never heard of that soap, but immediately ordered it!! It sounds life changing. I also picked up the book and Pom Pom tote. Great list!
Yay!! You are going to LOVE the soap!! Scrub with the soap under really hot water then let it soak! Very old school, but it gets rid of even set stains!
I didn’t realize that there were registries for baby showers but I think that makes choosing gifts a lot easier! The knitted toys are adorable!
A popular place to register is Target because then you can register for really anything 🙂 But I think sometimes giving a few things you know works helps a mama out in the long run–even better if they are on the registry!
I always like to get something from the registry and then give something special to me! My favorite gift to give for a baby shower is a copy of Love You Forever by Robert Munsch!
Love that book!! So fun to give something you love in addition to something off the registry!!
