By definition, “unusual” means different than what is usual and normal. We all know that baby showers can weird sometimes, so what other way to celebrate than to bring the most unusual baby shower gifts? There are gifts where you would not have even thought of getting, and some  where you’ll go “that’ll be a really funny but useful baby gift!”

We hope that this post will give you some ideas for the baby shower you’re attending!

1. Dumpling Booties

Now, babies do not necessarily need booties. It’ll just keep their feet warm (if they wear footless onesies), but it does add a touch when putting an outfit together! These adorable Dumpling Booties from Uncommon Goods are simply irresistible! They even come in a felt steamer box to give you the full set experience.

2. Gem Biscuit Baby Teether

Want to share some of your favourite childhood local snacks with the baby? Get them this Gem Biscuit Baby Teether! It comes in 4 different colours, with a cute smiley face on it. It is made from 100% Food Grade Silicone which makes it safe for the baby! The teether can be chilled for added relief too.

3. Burrito Swaddling Blanket

Swaddling is good for the baby as it reduces the amount of movement they make (like flailing their arms which may hurt them. This burrito swaddling blanket will surely bring some laughs and even make a good picture for the gram! You know what makes it even better? A matching hat that comes with the set!

4. Taco Dreams Mobile

Babies tend to spend a lot of their time on their backs, so a baby mobile would be a great baby shower gift. Add tacos and avocados for the touch of “unusualness”! This baby will surely be dreaming of food 24/7 with this Taco Dreams Baby mobile.

5. Door Silencer

Another unusual gift- a door silencer. This simple yet thoughtful gift will surely help parents around the house! Door silencers are placed between the two handles and block the latch, which also prevents you from accidentally locking the baby in or yourself out of the nursery! Get this 3 Pack Door Silencer on Amazon.

6. Quickzip easy change zip sheets

Usual baby shower gifts would be cute and adorable crib sheets. But it would be unusual to gift plain sheets! Though these sheets look “plain”, they surely are useful. These Quickzip Easy Change Zip sheets from Amazon provide a fast and easy crib sheet solution!

7. Closet Dividers

Be honest, closet dividers are not the first things that come to mind when you’re deciding on a baby shower gift. Well, they’re actually really useful for new parents that have received baby clothing of varying sizes! These 6 set Elephant Baby Closet Dividers are perfect for organising and keeping the closet in order.

8. Baby Bottle Drying Rack

This Philips Avent Bottle Drying Rack will be a lifesaver for new parents! The open design allows air to flow freely, which makes drying easier. It has a detachable drip tray that allows easy drainage of water and can fit up to 8 bottles!

9. Diapers

Did you know that an average newborn can go through as many as 12 disposable diapers a day? That’s crazy a lot! Save parents the hassle and gift them a few packs of disposable diapers (pssst we use Huggies Platinum Disposables in our diaper cakes), which are lifesavers! Or, if you like the more environmentally conscious approach, you can get reusable diapers from The Baby Closet, which carry reusable nappies made from organic cotton!

10. Baby Care Kit

Lastly, this gift is the perfect gift if you’ve decided on practicality over everything else! This Babycare Baby Daily Care Kit helps to ensure that the baby is taken care of daily, which is not the conventional gift at most baby showers. This care kit consists of 7 care tools, which makes sure the baby is more or less set!

We hope this blog post helped you find the most unusual gifts for the baby shower you’re attending soon!
