Need a gift for a new baby or to give at a baby shower? Sometimes we just do not know what to give and if the new mother does not have a gift registry, we must try and think of a gift that is not only unique but also practical. Here are examples of three baby gift items that every mother would be happy to receive and anyone would be proud to give.

The first gift a Limoges Box is something very different, a collectors item, sure to become an heirloom. Limoges is a city in France where kaolin was discovered in 1708. Kaolin (in Chinese means white clay) is the primary substance for making porcelain. A Limoges Box which can be personalized with initials, date of birth, and babys' height and weight can be used as a decoration or to keep the first lock of hair or the baby teeth of an adorable little one.

Another gift to consider are soft baby blankets. You can never have too many baby blankets. Pink, blue or white, plain or personalized as long as they are plush and soft, every mother will be thrilled to receive one. They can be used for many years to come.

The third gift suggested is a luxurious and thick 100% terry cotton spa baby bath robe. A hooded baby bath robe is a must have for every baby. This great baby shower gift can be personalized, not only to be used just after babys' bath, but good to put on after a swim at the beach or at poolside. This baby bath robe will definitely become a favorite.

Personalizing a gift makes the gift special for one baby. Every baby is special and they deserve to receive gifts that are made special just for them!
