What popular baby shower gifts do new parents want to receive? Even though you may think gifts like diapers, baby bottles, bedding (aside from the crib), blankets, and such seem very ordinary, these types of gifts are very much appreciated by the parents to be. From my own experience I always liked functional gifts such as these. I will expound on a number of other gifts that I know are excellent choices.

A baby monitor will be a comfort for the new mom and dad as they will not only hear, but with the video monitor, see the baby as well. This is a gift all new parents need so they will rest assured knowing that baby is fine.

Baby slings are another gift that can help mom or dad go about their daily routines with both hands free and also strengthens the parent-childhood bond.

Also very popular with the parents and baby loves it too, is the activity gym. This is a great way for babies to get exercise, as well as encouraging developing eyesight, and growing physical skills. This is accomplished by toys, mirrors and other objects of different shapes, sizes and colors that dangle within baby's grasp.

One of my very favorite popular baby shower gifts are books. Start a library for baby by giving classic children's books. I am always giving my grandchildren books and they absolutely love to receive them. Start reading to a child very early and he will more than likely become a reader. Some examples of classics are Goodnight Moon, Runaway Bunny, and Guess How Much I Love You? The Night Before Christmas was my youngest sons favorite book and he made me read it every night regardless if it was Xmas time or not!

There are so many Popular Baby Shower Gifts that I could go on and on. Just be creative and I am sure you will give a gift that will be appreciated by all.
