She is one of those special family friends who has been there through thick and thin. She has been a motivator to the family. She has been an inspiring ball of energy, who has shopped with your through the years. She is the one person who has seemed like a sister to you.

She is now pregnant and about to start a new journey in her own life. What do you give someone so special to you, as a best friend? What do you give back to someone who has meant so much to you? You do not want to just give her the normal baby shower gifts. You want to give her something more unique.

Unique Gifts for a Newborn Baby

There are many different baby shower ideas out there. These are just a few of our favorite ideas for the mommy and newborn baby.

1. Wine Purchased from Baby’s Year of Birth

Now this is a creative idea from http://dailymom.com/expect/5-unique-baby-shower-gifts/. Purchase a bottle of wine from the year the baby was born. Make sure to pick a bottle that ages well or preserves. Then put this bottle in a decorative Baby Time Capsule from www.timecapsule.com and a special letter or fill out a “Message to the Future” note about predictions where you see your child in several years. Then, have the child open the time capsule and wine on his or her 21^st birthday. We just love this idea. How about you?

2. A Personalized ABC Book

What a creative idea to get your guests involved in at your baby shower. Make this sentimental DIY baby gift. It is your child’s first ABC book. Nothing says I love you, like unique personalized baby gifts. You can read the instructions of how to make this at http://www.littlemissmomma.com/2013/09/awesome-sentimental-baby-shower-gift.html. Basically, have guests draw a letter from the alphabet along with a photo that starts with that letter. Have each page laminated, and then create a book out of the pages, to treasure for years into the future for your child. You could have each guest even leave a little love note for the baby, on each page.

3. Baby Shower Poem

This is a unique baby shower gift that is similar to a new mommy’s survival kit, only in a poem. Check out this gift from the heart at http://mummydeals.org/how-to-make-a-baby-shower-poem-gift/. You could even have all the guests at the baby shower sign the poem, so you have a guest list in a creative way, to preserve forever. This idea is perfect, for the person who does not know what to get and it is still unique and thoughtful.

4. Personalized DIY Write or Draw On Baby Quilt

Here is a fun activity for your baby shower, and a unique baby shower gift. Have the guests write on or draw pictures on this quilt. Make sure to sign your names, so the baby knows in the future, who all was at his or her baby shower. What a great, memorable gift to save in the Baby Time Capsule from www.timecapsule.com. Check out this creative idea at http://www.taylorjoelleblog.com/2012/07/top-5-unique-baby-shower-ideas.html.

5. Decorative Baby Time Capsule

Our final unique baby shower gift is a decorative baby time capsule meant to be displayed in the nursery, or a special shelf in your home. This is a gift that will surely be a discussion starter. Parents fill Baby’s Time Capsule with memorabilia from the day and year of their child’s birth. This timeless keepsake is then sealed until a designated day–years in the future–when the baby is grown. Have guests at the baby shower fill out the “Message to the Future” letters with messages of hope, inspiration, and predictions for where they see the child in the future. What a memorable, and sentimental day it will be when the child gets to open this, like when he or she graduates high school. Save baby’s first shoes, pacifier, or the “mommy to be” banner you wore at your baby shower, in the time capsule. Help your child relive what life was like the first year he or she was born, and what it was like at your baby shower.

This heartwarming 22-piece gift set comes with everything needed to create an absolutely unforgettable treasure. You can get your Baby Time Capsule at http://www.timecapsule.com/product/milestone-collection-baby-time-capsule-keepsake-gift/.
