Baby Shower Gift Ideas

If you're going to start a business & you want to have a product that will be in high demand then go with something along the lines of weddings or babies! People are always getting married or having kids, so you can't go wrong if that's the niche you choose.

Baby showers are things everyone gets invited to, & it seems that people are always giving generic gifts. Diapers & wipes, baby clothes, or a blanket & teddy.

I just went to a baby shower this past Saturday for a college friend of mine, & I gave her a bag full of items from my shop {since I am a baby shop}. Everyone, not just the mommy-to-be, loved them! I can't tell you how many people kept saying, "You made all that?" & "I'm going to have to start giving gifts like that. Do you have a business card?" Besides the fact that my gift contributed to some serious marketing for my shop, it also promoted handmade items & got Etsy's name out there.

Now I know you're not going to spend the money on buying handmade items for all the baby showers you're invited to, but consider it for the ones that are important to you.

So today, I've put together 3 baby shower gift sets from several Etsy shops including my own. I hope these will inspire you to get creative when it's time for you to buy for the next shower you get invited to!
