Sometimes–especially at baby showers, where people are watching–the way you wrap or present a baby gift makes as much of an impression as what you’ve chosen. Here are some companies who have done the pretty part for you, giving you more time to bask in compliments of your cleverness.
For a real wow factor at a shower, try these hand crafted boxes full of beautiful, soft pima cotton layette items from Organic Cottontail ($59). The adorable boxes, created to look like ABC blocks, make an impressive presentation, and their contents are equally outstanding (the company’s products are all fair trade and environmentally sound). For a really cool centerpiece, stack the blocks in the middle of the table as decoration, and get a second round of appreciation when she opens them after the meal and sees the super sweet pieces inside.
The Baby Bunch is known for their great gift presentations, perhaps most famous for their layette sets that look like flower bouquets, or their cupcake onesies in a bakery box. But for a cool gift on a smaller scale, go for their clever organic baby sock bouquets($19.95), nested together to look like eggs, and accompanied by a handcrafted lavender bird-shaped sachet.
For a charming change of pace, try the Clementine ($35), a gift set with an unexpected twist. The suitcase itself is an adorable keepsake—destined for tangles of necklaces and dress up jewelry down the road—but what’s inside is just as fun: a funky little onesie with an orange “necklace” decorating the collar. A cute, clever gift you know she won’t already have—but that she’ll be so glad she does.
The guest of honor will feel like she hit the jackpot when she opens her Baby Bottle Bank from Elegant baby. It’s chock full of baby necessities like a bowl with lid, fork & spoon, rattle, teether, comb & brush, 2-8 oz. bottles, juice cups and more—and because they’re from Elegant Baby, they’re not only classic, but really cute as well. It all comes in this 15’ bottle bank, and since it’s only $22, you can afford to put a check to start her college fund, too!
