Not all new parents want to know the gender of their unborn baby. Some still want to have that element of surprise. Knowing if the new baby is a girl or boy makes it easier when choosing a newborn baby gift, but there are still many great options even if you do not.

If a blanket is the baby gift item you want to give, get one that is a neutral color, and remember white or ivory is always a great choice. Think about giving a soft plush newborn blanket. What mother would not want to swaddle her baby in a blanket like that?

Another good choice is unisex baby clothing. Choose a shirt or one piece outfit suitable to be worn by either sex. A velour sweat suit is not only wonderfully comfortable but also practical because they also can be used for other siblings that may come along later. Something else you might consider is a luxurious and thick 100% Terry Cotton Spa Baby Bath Robe. You can use one after bathing baby, poolside or at the beach. It is a gift any mother will appreciate, and so will baby.

Step stools for kids and child rocking chairs are both examples of unique baby shower gifts that will be used for many years to come. Both can be personalized after the babys' birth. Another type of stool is called a puzzle stool. Instead of using a proper name you can use "BABY" for the puzzle pieces. Just use your imagination and one can find many unique baby items for that precious bundle of joy!
