Baby showers are fun and an important part of becoming a mother. But sometimes they can be expensive and a little difficult to arrange. Here we discuss 8 ways of arranging a baby shower that is more thought full and less expensive.

1. Baby Starter kits
   Many companies offer free baby stuff hat include nappies, wipers, feeder bottles etc. This also can be a great gift.
2. Gifts for the older siblings

The older siblings can feel a little neglected once a new baby comes. While you are giving gifts for the new born it is a good idea to include the older child as well so that he/ she doesn’t feel left out. You can give a free ticket to XYZ circus, age appropriate computer games or coloring books.

3. Baby Formula
   Choosing a baby formula is not easy for starters they are very expensive and second not every formula suits every baby’s needs. There are many brands providing free samples, you can give them as a gift. It will save the parents the hassle from choosing different brand, this way they will have a number of choices right there in their hands.
4. Nappies
   Every baby needs nappies and it is one of the biggest expenses. You can give samples of different brands of nappies so the parents can easily choose which suits them(i.e. the baby) the best.
5. Baby Wipes
   The great philosophers of ancient times once said “nappies and Wipes go hand in hand” (ok may be they did not but they do don’t they). Every time you change a diaper you also need one or more wipes. The problem is babies have sensitive skin and not all brands can suit them. You can give the parents samples of different brands of wipes then they can easily find out which brand suits best the baby.
6. Baby portraits
   We never get tired of seeing photos of newborn babies. This can also be a great gift as many studios offer free prints or at very little charge for infants and it is something that parents will always remember and cherish.
7. Safety ID kit
   The most important part of being a parent is keeping your child safe. Many companies offer free Baby safety I.D. kits and this will be a very useful, thoughtful and loving gift that anyone can give.
8. Shopping bags that are reusable
   As the family is expanding so will their grocery and they will need something to carry it in. Companies often give away free tote bags which has their logo or advertisement on it. It can also be a great gift.
