Baby Onesies – A Great Baby Shower Gift
Finding a gift for a baby shower can be daunting. Sure, the fact that there are an increasing amount of women who register for baby gifts makes it easier to know what they want. That being said, finding a gift that fits your budget and will still be something cute and useful for the mother-to-be is still a difficult challenge.
If you are on a budget, but still want to provide something that the new mom will be using frequently why not buy her a few baby onesies. Note that this type of clothing goes by several names including creepers, rompers, bodysuits, and one-pieces.
In many situations you can find a three pack of baby rompers for around ten dollars. Now sometimes these packages just come in one color which may or not be okay depending on your situation. If this is a first time mom, she might not be exstatic when she first sees your gift, but she will be when she realizes how often a baby needs a clothes change. At first these babies are spitting up and using the bathroom like crazy; it is not uncommon to change an infants clothes two to three times a day. The new mom will be thanking you when she runs out of baby clothing.
Another thing to consider when buying baby onesies as a gift is size. Newborns grow extremely fast, and depending on the size of the parents and other babies in the family you may want to consider buying a size 3-6 or 6-9 months. It’s true that the baby is only a week old now, but all of the other girls at the shower will probably buy 0-3 months and if it is a big baby, after about two weeks he/she will need new clothing.
A baby onesie usually runs around ten dollars depending on the cloth type and the amount of customization. If it is a high grade onesie that was uniquely personalized for you, then you may be paying $20-$25. However, if it is an over the counter onesie you may only end up paying $7-$9. Usually you will be somewhere in the middle.
For a great gift that fits in the budget you’ll want to consider baby bodysuits.
