Luxurious & Practical Baby Gifts for Spring Showers

Is it me or does it seem like there are always so many new babies due to arrive in the spring? There is something so adorable and so special about spring babies!

I know most of us turn to the mothers' registry for baby shower gifts - I do the same, but I always like to add in something luxurious that the mother may not have registered for. Most new mothers are registering for items they need that are practical. Here are some of my favorite little luxuries for baby that are also very practical.  

1. The Laundress Baby Wash (found here)

If you could bottle the smell of a baby, this is exactly what I think it would be. I love the smell of this baby wash. It is gentle, yet concentrated so a little bit goes a long way. I love the elegant bottle. I know this may be impractical and expensive to wash baby's clothes in every day, but it definitely could be used for that first month of baby bliss. This is a little luxury to help a new mom get through those sleepless nights and endless laundry piles.

2. BeautyCounter Baby Bundle (found here)

If you have not heard about Beauty Counter yet, you seriously have been missing out! Beauty Counter is a company that is on a mission to spread the word about safer skin care and beauty products. If you have not already started using safer skin care on yourself, you should definitely start. At the very least, you could start with providing your baby or a friends baby with safer skin care products. The bundle includes the baby oil, gentle baby wash, and baby balm. These products are free of harmful ingredients and irritants. They are perfect for a newborns' very delicate skin.  

3. Butterscotch Blankies Initial Blanket (found here)

I LOVE this Butterscotch Blankies stroller blanket. What I love most about it is that it is a nod to the luxurious and famous Hermes throw blanket. This was one of my favorite blankies for Charlie as a newborn. 

4. Doc- A - Tot (found here)

This is something a new mom may have registered for. If not, she will definitely appreciate receiving this item, anyway! We loved our Doc-A-Tot for when we visited family and friends, we could easily bring it along with us. When Charlie was too little to sit up, we laid her down in this and we could all relax around the Doc-A-Tot and watch her wiggle. It was such a great place to set her down and she couldn't roll away. 

5. Kickee Pants Jammies (found here)

Kickee Pants are some of the softest, strechiest jammies I have ever felt! The quality is great and the stretchiness allows for them to really last well past babies current size. They come in super cute patterns or solids. There are some with ruffles, some with cute things on the tush, some with feet, some without, etc. There are so many adorable options. I also loved that these jammies came in preemie size when Charlie was a preemie!

6. Anitca Farmacista "Baby" Diffuser (found here)

The Antica Farmacista baby diffuser is such a luxury! It has such an amazing smell and sets the mood in babies nursery. The scent also helps some of the smells your diaper pail might not mask!

7. Wub-A-Nub Pacifier (found here)

I am sure you have seen Wub-A-Nubs every where by now! They are pacifiers attached to adorable little stuffed animals. My daughter LOVES her Wub-A-Nubs...she even has a favorite! Some babies go through so many pacifiers and if the Wub-A-Nub ends up being their favorite kind, it can become expensive. I think a mother can always use an extra Wub-A-Nub for baby.

Enjoy shopping for upcoming spring baby showers!
