I'm going to be quite honest, I'm years away from having a baby myself- but that doesn't mean I don't adore buying shower gifts! From
Jessica Alba's daughter and the birth of
Vivienne and
Knox Jolie-Pitt it seems that this spring and summer has been baby mania and I've noticed the baby bump trend isn't just for celebs! With baby shower invitations racking up, I've started looking for new shower gift options. A huge part of the fun of a baby shower is the opening of all the gifts- everyone loves to
ooh and
ahh at the cute little outfits and toys. While practical gifts like diapers and formula are always appreciated, now more than ever there are more stylish and interesting gifts for the modern mom. I'm loving the mod circles baby blanket from
babystyle.com that's useful as well as modern and cool. Another great original gift- Little Miss Matched Baby socks- which comes with 9 socks, since you're bound to lose one in the wash! Many of mommy-to-be's favorite designers are now making clothes for their mini-mes, from cozy
C&C California and
Joie dresses and tees to tailored kids clothes from
Tocca. And don't forget something for the mom to be as well- she will absolutely appreciate a spa treatment or an at home kit like
Mama Mio's countdown kit, which comes with Tummy Rub Butter and massage oil. See my SLIDESHOW for the rest of the gifts!
