If you are getting ready to bring home Baby, or if you are looking for gift ideas for a Baby Shower here are the Top 5 Gift Ideas, Tips and Inside Scoops from our Mom co-worker friends at eBillme.

1. Diaper Bag

Do not choose or give a diaper bag that is too: frilly, girly, or “Winnie the Pooh-ish”. Stick with something plain, so Dad won’t be embarrassed to hold it and cart the diaper bag around the grocery store.

2. Be Practical

New Mom’s are the busiest people on the planet. Give a practical gift that Mom will appreciate and use, and she won’t even have to leave the house like an online gift card. You can buy her gift cards to her favorite store, a place to buy baby supplies, or maybe a restaurant, a book, or music. Checkout the eBillme Gift Card Mall for all kinds of ideas, and extra deals. Every gift card purchase at eBillme earns free cash back rewards.

3. Stroller

Quality strollers are expensive, but a great stroller will provide years of enjoyment. Cheap strollers are not only cheap they weigh a ton and you need a pick up truck to haul them around town. Strollers are great baby shower gifts – if everyone pitches in, the cost isn’t so bad. Just remember, no surprises, let ‘Mom’ pick the stroller she wants.

4. Avoid Commercial Themes

Choose furniture, accessories, and décor that will grow with the child. Even a 4-year-old will get sick of Dora and Elmo. Go for animals, nature, and other classic themes.

5. Handmade Gifts and Blankets

Nothing gets ladies crying at baby showers more than handmade gifts so get out the knitting, needlepoint, etc. If you aren’t the crafty type, give a beautiful blanket. Blankets are a wonderful gift, and you can never have too many.

If you are looking for baby gifts, furniture and more be sure to checkout the baby collections at Sears or Kmart. Both have an incredible selection & low prices.
