If you’re looking for the ultimate shower or new baby gift for a baby boy, look no further. This Deluxe Welcome Wagon has the rest of them beat, hands down. Made by Baby Gift Creations, it features a wagon measuring 24″x10″x23″ H filled with sports-themed gifts, including a terry velour bathbag, hooded terry towel, receiving blanket, undergarment, terry bib and burp pad, plush teddy bear, baseball cap, embroidered hat, brush and comb set, two soft toys, pacifier, rattle, and an 8 oz. bottle. You can add to that (for an extra charge) a sportsball cover-up, daywear, and/or gown.

It also comes gift-wrapped, to make gift giving that much easier. At $135, this is definitely not your run-of-the-mill baby gift. You can view and purchase the Deluxe Welcome Wagon at BabyGiftCreations.com.

This Dolphin Bath Bucket from Elegant Baby would not only make a fun baby shower gift, but would also be great as a centerpiece on Mother’s table at the baby shower. The bright blue antique metal tub-style basket is very attractive and dolphins are always a favorite.

The Dolphin Bath Bucket contains a mesh poof, a dolphin soap dish that floats, a tiny rubber dolphin, and a dolphin-shaped wash cloth. I can think of several re-uses of the metal bucket: as a container for hand soaps, a holder for face towels, to hold your baby’s favorite bath toys (including the dolphin), or as a holder for after-bath powders and creams.  You can visit the Web site at oompa.com and purchase this item for $19.99.

Here is a silly, yet practical shower gift that is sure to delight any parent-to-be.  Designed to look like a pizza, this “snack” is really a set of very useful items that will come in handy for a new baby.  The Baby Pizza Lover Gift Set includes a receiving blanket, a hooded towel, an embroidered bib, 4 washcloths, 2 pairs of booties, a teether, and a fork and spoon.  Made by Bliss Living, this is one gift that is sure to get a lot of attention.  It comes pre-wrapped for easy gift-giving.

You can purchase one of these sets for $58 at BlissLiving.com.  An equally cute “hoagie” is also available for the same price.

Here is a fun bath toy that I know would be a big hit at our house.  Made by ALEX Bath, this 3-in-1 Music Island allows your little musician to compose all kinds of delightful melodies while taking a bath.  This fish-shaped instrument is designed to float, and features a xylophone, a drum, and a shaker that is shaped like an octopus.  The set includes 2 mallets, sheet music, and a music holder.  This is sure to add some fun and creativity to bath time.

Recommended for ages 3 and up, you can purchase this tub toy for $24.99 at toygarden.com.  It would make a great holiday or birthday gift for a toddler.

This Pink Mermaid Fin Towel from Kathe Kruse has a strap that can be tied around your child’s waist, giving them a Mermaid tail. This over-sized towel would come in handy at the beach or by the pool as a place for your little mermaid to bask in the sun. The towel is machine washable and tumble dry. It is designed in Germany and sells for $41.99 at Oompa.com.

When you’re bathing your child in the tub, you’re either sitting on the edge of the tub or kneeling on cold, hard tile. I like this product because it’s specifically designed for use while bathing your child.  The Multi-Use Bathing Cushion by The First Years is a slip-resistant cushion that will protect your tired knees and keep you steady when you have to lift your child from the tub. It’s ergonomically designed, machine-washable, and mildew resistant. Those are a lot of good qualities in a small product.

Purchase one for your own bathroom, or include it in a baby shower gift basket filled with bathing items for baby. The new mom will learn to appreciate it. You can view this item at babyearth.com, where it is priced at just $17.95.
