The best baby shower gift wrap ideas are not always easy to find. But we’ve done the work for you! Here’s a list of some great ways to wrap up your next baby shower present that will impress any new mother.
Baby shower gifts are a great way to show your appreciation for the mom-to-be. They can be as simple or elaborate as you want them to be, but they should always include something that is useful and personal to her.
Just keep in mind that the more expensive the item, the less likely it is to get used often enough to justify its cost. So stick to practicality and affordability when choosing gifts for the mother-to-be.
The most important thing about baby showers is making sure she has everything she needs during this exciting time in her life.

Baby Butz
You never know how new babies will react to creams and other products so it is best to use only natural products especially at first.
Baby Butz has 100% natural ingredients, and it is used in many hospitals and neonatal units all over the country.
It has no smell, and it blends into baby’s skin nicely leaving them dry and moisturized without any kind of greasy after-feel.
This is always a great addition to any baby shower gift.
Gift Wrapping Idea
This is one of our favorite baby shower gift wrapping ideas.
Tuck a small gift like this into a small kraft box with simple embellishments like Baby Shower Ideas 4U.
The Baby Shusher
It is always good to try out a noise machine to help soothe a new baby.
Living inside the womb is actually very noisy listening to the internal workings of the body as well as the sounds of the outside world.
This can make it difficult for a new baby to sleep in complete silence. The portable Baby Shusher is a great baby gift to give for newborns.
The soothing, gentle shushing helps lull baby to sleep with white noise. It has an adjustable volume and a timer too.
The Baby Shusher‘s small size means it is easy to toss in the diaper bag for a trip away from home.
Gift Wrapping Idea
Use this great idea from Casey Baudoin at Sugar Lander.
While she went to the trouble of stitching and hand stamping this cloth, you can easily use a receiving blanket to wrap up a box and give two presents in one!.

Insulated Lunch Bag
When an expectant mom already has other children, I always like to give the sibling a little present.
One of these insulated lunch bags always makes a little one happy especially when I fill it with goodies for them.
This durable insulated lunchbox has a zipper compartment on the inside to hold napkins and cutlery with plenty of room to keep food chilled.
There is also a pocket on the outside and straps to wear it like a backpack.
The rubber zipper handles makes it easy for little fingers to open.

Clutching Toy Butterfly
I always like to give some small gifts in addition to a big present, and you can’t go wrong with a teething toy.
This butterfly from Haba® is made from food-grade silicone, and its bright colors with an easy-grip make it attractive to babies.
It will help soothe them through those months of teething.
Gift Wrapping Idea
There is a tutorial from Let’s Wrap Stuff on how to make this adorable sleepy lion to wrap up a small gift like a teething toy.

Nanobebe
For breastfeeding mamas, Nanobebe has a variety of products to help store breastmilk.
There is even a geometrically designed bottle to preserve the nutritional value of breastmilk while providing the next best experience to breastfeeding.
The bottles warm up 2-3 times faster than a standard bottle cutting prep time and preventing overheating.
Nanobebe has also designed these lay flat storage bags to freeze breast milk keeping it organized, easy to grab, and prepare. They cool quickly which helps prevent bacterial growth, and they thaw fast and evenly.
Gift Wrapping Idea
If you happen to find yourself in a bind when you need to do some gift wrapping (as I often do) use items from around the house like this Martha Stewart example.
Using cupcake papers, you can make a flower like adornment that is adorable.
Silicone Baby Feeding 6 Pack
This Silicone Baby Feeding set from Marcus and Marcus is one of my favorite feeding accessories.
The 6 pieces include a placemat, bib, spoon, collapsible container, learning chopsticks and a teether.
It is made from soft and colorful silicone that is easy to clean and has a no slip grip. This set is a must for when baby starts eating foods.
Gift Wrapping Idea
Put all these goodies in a custom made gift bag like this one from May Arts.
With a little hot glue and decorations, you can make an adorable little bag to offer up presents for the new little bundle.
Abiie Huggs Contour
This baby carrier is the perfect gift idea for outdoorsy parents. It is one of the most versatile and comfortable baby carriers I have ever had the pleasure of using.
Designed to be used from baby to toddler size, it is made of durable, breathable fabric with padding to make it easy to wear and comfortable for baby and wearer. It fits both me and my husband with its convenient adjustable straps.
This is a great gift idea for a Mom on the go or those parents that love to spend time outside.
Gift Wrapping Idea
Simple wrapping can turn a box into an adorable bear present like this one from Sol Solito.
If you have more than one present to give, try making a bear family or other animals.
DockATot
Made to mimic the womb, the DockATot is like a heavenly little snuggle pillow for baby. It cradles them and makes them feel secure so they sleep better.
The convenient size and lightweight design means it is perfect to take along on travel too. This is one of my new favorite must haves that moms don’t even realize they need.
Gift Wrapping Idea
Make your own wrapping paper. Reuse brown paper bags and use stamps, little feet or just a pencil eraser to make a pattern on paper.
You could even let your kiddos paint pictures on the paper to make customized gift wrapping.
Car Seat Handle Cushion
Carrying around a car seat isn’t easy, especially as small little babies grow into healthy, chubby, heavy babies!
This simple little cushion will make lugging that car seat around just a little easier.
If you’re handy with a sewing machine, these would be really simple and quick to make!
Gift Wrapping Idea
This graphic from Lia Griffith shows easy steps to make awesome bows with just tissue paper. Kinda like those paper tissue flowers your parents had at their wedding?
These will turn your gifts into colorful professional looking creations that don’t even take long to make.
I was gifted some of these items for the opportunity to review them. All opinions remain my own.
