Publish Not your original work? Add source Baby showers are a time to celebrate the little one on the way and give special (and needed!) gifts to the mom-to-be. So imagine you were invited to one. And that means you gotta find a gift. The reality is that expectant parents already have so much on their plate, so you want to get them a gift that's going to be actually useful. A quick Google search shows thousands of baby shower gift ideas, from cute little toys to useful gadgets, the options are endless. So picking up a present shouldn't be much of a challenge. But many moms out there who received pretty questionable stuff from their baby shower guests claim this is not exactly the case. "What is the worst baby shower gift you received?" asked one Redditor on the Baby Bumps subreddit. The question seems to have hit close to home for many moms out there as they shared the weirdest and most inappropriate stuff they got to unpackage during their baby showers. This post may include affiliate links. #1 I got a kids size 10 shirt… like, one that a big kid could wear. We were really confused but said thank you and moved onto the next gift… the friend pulled me aside and apologized because he didn’t know anything about babies. We had a laugh about it and it’s still in my (almost) 4 year old’s closet. We have him put it on around his birthday every year and send a picture of him to our friend who gifted it to us. It’s tradition now lol Gwenerfresh , Cristofer Maximilian Report Final score: 663points POST Samantha Lomb Samantha Lomb Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 8 months ago This doesn't seem terrible. His heart was in the right place 429 429points reply View More Replies... View more comments Bored Panda reached out to Tiffany Jenkins, the internet's most loved content creator, best-selling author, wife, mother, and the author of her blog, "Juggling the Jenkins". She has more than 5 million followers and counting on her Facebook page, and has been featured on national TV shows like The Today Show and The Doctors. Tiffany happily shared a couple of great ideas for baby shower gifts as well as some other insights into parenting. When asked what is the best baby shower present a guest can bring, Tiffany said it's hands-down diapers and wipes. "Babies go through an astronomical amount of diapers, having a stockpile of all different sizes ready to go is magical. There's nothing worse than going to grab a diaper when your baby has a blowout, and realizing that you're out. Taking a newborn to the store wrapped in a towel for diapers is always awkward," she explained. #2 I was super excited to find a turquoise pottery barn crib on craigslist for $75!! Made a fb post and everything.
Well for my shower my BiL and SiL decided to buy me a crib! Not so bad, but when I opened it she goes "this is so that you don't have to use that street crib, cuz let's be honest, it's a street crib". In front of everyone!! I grew up on second hand items and it was such a slap in the face, I wanted to just cry roxictoxy Report Final score: 437points POST SlowTV Missouri SlowTV Missouri Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 8 months ago Is “street crib” a term everyone knows but me? 210 210points reply View More Replies...

Crumb_Princess , Sophia Sideri Report Final score: 423points POST Laura Mende (Human) Laura Mende (Human) Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 8 months ago My mom had a friend who was Turkish. We are German. In their culture (she said) it is normal to gift a new baby a necklace or bracelet made of gold. It is lucky or something... We didn't know this tradition and mom was very confused when her friend showed up with jewelery for me, then 2 weeks old. I mean it's nice, the necklace got a big "L" on it and the bracelet spelt "Laura". But for my mom it was weird. She put it on me when we visited this particular friend and otherwise never. Now I'm thinking about selling it. I mean solid gold...! 81 81points reply View More Replies...

We tried to return them but they were so deeply discounted Target couldn’t even take them back. They all went straight to Goodwill. SummitTheDog303 , Kelly Report Final score: 374points POST Turtle42 Turtle42 Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 8 months ago Good for you! 166 166points reply View More Replies... View more comments Another great idea to bring to the baby shower is baby clothes in larger sizes. "My babies grew like weeds and would only get to wear an outfit a handful of times before it became too tight," Tiffany said and added that "Having new clothes in bigger sizes already in the closet is incredibly helpful." "ZIPPER pajamas," Tiffany added to her go-to baby shower gift list. However, it should never be snap-button pajamas. "I learned this the hard way. Waking up exhausted at 3:00 am to change a diaper is hard enough... Trying to snap 64 buttons back together while your kid thrashes around like a baby alligator is like the eighteenth level of 'Jumanji,'" she told us. #5 My MIL gave me this beautiful "sleeping bag" that was handmade and my SO used it when he was a baby so it actually ment a lot to me cause we dont really have the best relationship. The day after my baby shower she told me she wanted it back and I can borrow it from her if I wanted to use it. felt very awkward about it because I told everyone of this lovely present...

A card from my sister in law, pretty much saying I'm not ready to be a parent and that she hopes i "don't damage the child." It came with the "What To Expect," book series for birth through age 5.

I wasnt even invited Kampus Production Report Final score: 306points Elle Py POST Jj321 Jj321 Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 8 months ago I have heard of this before. It's a bit odd, but generally just celebrating a friend becoming a grandmother. In the times I have seen it, usually the friends don't really know the mother to be, and it is just an excuse for friends to socialize and have fun. 231 231points reply View More Replies... View more comments For those guests who are in for a splurge for the expecting mom, the best expensive gift is a gift card. "Sometimes moms don't realize what they need until they are already knee-deep in motherhood, remembering you have a gift card to use for it is a huge relief later on." Although according to Tiffany, any gift is a nice gift, there are a few that aren't the best, if she's being honest. "A baby drum set, for example-is not a fun time for the mom. Toys that make a lot of noise or take up a lot of space aren't the greatest. Definitely don't get her a gift certificate to a gym, and I'd skip the lingerie." #8 My husbands family thought it would be funny to give me a box of condoms, this was a shower for our second son. I was NOT pleased as a 38week pregnant woman. 1 because sex was the last thing on my list, and 2 how tacky and rude can you be. Oddly enough nobody fessed up to who brought the gift when I asked? I know my face indicated I would be murdering whoever it was. madommouselfefe , robertelyov Report Final score: 281points POST Mistralok Mistralok Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 8 months ago Blow them up as balloons for his first birthday party and make sure to invite them all. 182 182points reply View More Replies...

View more comments When asked whether guests are always expected to bring in a gift, Tiffany said that there is definitely an expectation to bring a gift, "since that's pretty much the main purpose for a baby shower." She added that "I do think some people just enjoy being around others and feeling like the center of attention for a day as well. I wrote on my invitation that they didn't have to bring gifts, I just wanted to celebrate. They brought gifts anyway, of course." #11 My mother in law got us an ugly bookshelf after asking us if we had one and after we told her we did (and had it all set up in our small nursery). She also got us a wipe warmer after she knew that we were against using one (don’t need babe getting used to warm wipes when we are on the go so frequently). She then made a loud comment about how this other babe in the fam is probably much more protected from Covid because of all the breastfeeding (and I’m vaxed AND freshly boosted). She knows we’re not breastfeeding and just took it as a chance to give a jab. I made up for it though - after opening all of the gifts at the shower I proudly announced and thanked my mom for giving us the best gift of all - several weeks of sleep (via a night nurse). Everything she does is deliberate - but two can play the game.

Normal J. Normal Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 8 months ago Cute that Dad got thought of, but in general it would have been even nicer to give a gift to both ( football tickets for Dad and a day of babysitting for Mom). When I had my Son the only gift I got was a diaper service for 1 month. Everything else was 100% geared towards the baby. 80 80points reply View More Replies... View more comments Moreover, Tiffany said that she's noticed lots of her friends doing "virtual" baby showers nowadays, "which is cool. They put out their 'wishlist' on social media a few weeks ahead, then on baby shower day, they go live and open the gifts." "I think moms feel like they need a ton of gadgets and contraptions and baby furniture and the latest carseat in order to bring a baby into the world," she said and added that "The truth is, babies don't need nearly as much as we initially think. All they really need is food, a place to sleep, something to catch their poop, and love. The rest is just a bonus!" #14 My own mother gave me a notebook for my baby shower that was supposed to be filled with supportive messages from people who attended. Except that her own message was so scathing and pretty much just repeated in different ways how much I was going to struggle as a mother. I got good mileage out of passing it around and laughing at it with my husband's family, who are well aware of how insane my parents are AmiableOstrich , Liza Summer Report Final score: 242points POST WilvanderHeijden WilvanderHeijden Community Member • points posts comments upvotes 8 months ago As long as they know that their parents are insane, there's nothing that the parents can do or say that will hurt or upset them. 65 65points reply View More Replies...

35 Moms Share The Worst Baby Shower Gifts They Ever Got In This Honest Online Thread
Liucija Adomaite andAustėja Akavickaitė
Publish Not your original work? Add source Baby showers are a time to celebrate the little one on the way and give special (and needed!) gifts to the mom-to-be. So imagine you were invited to one. And that means you gotta find a gift. The reality is that expectant parents already have so much on their plate, so you want to get them a gift that's going to be actually useful. A quick Google search shows thousands of baby shower gift ideas, from cute little toys to useful gadgets, the options are endless. So picking up a present shouldn't be much of a challenge. But many moms out there who received pretty questionable stuff from their baby shower guests claim this is not exactly the case. "What is the worst baby shower gift you received?" asked one Redditor on the Baby Bumps subreddit. The question seems to have hit close to home for many moms out there as they shared the weirdest and most inappropriate stuff they got to unpackage during their baby showers. This post may include affiliate links. #1 I got a kids size 10 shirt… like, one that a big kid could wear. We were really confused but said thank you and moved onto the next gift… the friend pulled me aside and apologized because he didn’t know anything about babies. We had a laugh about it and it’s still in my (almost) 4 year old’s closet. We have him put it on around his birthday every year and send a picture of him to our friend who gifted it to us.

She has more than 5 million followers and counting on her Facebook page, and has been featured on national TV shows like The Today Show and The Doctors. Tiffany happily shared a couple of great ideas for baby shower gifts as well as some other insights into parenting. When asked what is the best baby shower present a guest can bring, Tiffany said it's hands-down diapers and wipes. "Babies go through an astronomical amount of diapers, having a stockpile of all different sizes ready to go is magical. There's nothing worse than going to grab a diaper when your baby has a blowout, and realizing that you're out. Taking a newborn to the store wrapped in a towel for diapers is always awkward," she explained. #2 I was super excited to find a turquoise pottery barn crib on craigslist for $75!! Made a fb post and everything.
Well for my shower my BiL and SiL decided to buy me a crib! Not so bad, but when I opened it she goes "this is so that you don't have to use that street crib, cuz let's be honest, it's a street crib". In front of everyone!!

We are German. In their culture (she said) it is normal to gift a new baby a necklace or bracelet made of gold. It is lucky or something... We didn't know this tradition and mom was very confused when her friend showed up with jewelery for me, then 2 weeks old. I mean it's nice, the necklace got a big "L" on it and the bracelet spelt "Laura". But for my mom it was weird. She put it on me when we visited this particular friend and otherwise never.

View more comments Another great idea to bring to the baby shower is baby clothes in larger sizes. "My babies grew like weeds and would only get to wear an outfit a handful of times before it became too tight," Tiffany said and added that "Having new clothes in bigger sizes already in the closet is incredibly helpful." "ZIPPER pajamas," Tiffany added to her go-to baby shower gift list. However, it should never be snap-button pajamas. "I learned this the hard way. Waking up exhausted at 3:00 am to change a diaper is hard enough... Trying to snap 64 buttons back together while your kid thrashes around like a baby alligator is like the eighteenth level of 'Jumanji,'" she told us. #5 My MIL gave me this beautiful "sleeping bag" that was handmade and my SO used it when he was a baby so it actually ment a lot to me cause we dont really have the best relationship. The day after my baby shower she told me she wanted it back and I can borrow it from her if I wanted to use it. felt very awkward about it because I told everyone of this lovely present...

View more comments For those guests who are in for a splurge for the expecting mom, the best expensive gift is a gift card. "Sometimes moms don't realize what they need until they are already knee-deep in motherhood, remembering you have a gift card to use for it is a huge relief later on." Although according to Tiffany, any gift is a nice gift, there are a few that aren't the best, if she's being honest. "A baby drum set, for example-is not a fun time for the mom. Toys that make a lot of noise or take up a lot of space aren't the greatest. Definitely don't get her a gift certificate to a gym, and I'd skip the lingerie." #8 My husbands family thought it would be funny to give me a box of condoms, this was a shower for our second son. I was NOT pleased as a 38week pregnant woman. 1 because sex was the last thing on my list, and 2 how tacky and rude can you be. Oddly enough nobody fessed up to who brought the gift when I asked?

She added that "I do think some people just enjoy being around others and feeling like the center of attention for a day as well. I wrote on my invitation that they didn't have to bring gifts, I just wanted to celebrate. They brought gifts anyway, of course." #11 My mother in law got us an ugly bookshelf after asking us if we had one and after we told her we did (and had it all set up in our small nursery). She also got us a wipe warmer after she knew that we were against using one (don’t need babe getting used to warm wipes when we are on the go so frequently). She then made a loud comment about how this other babe in the fam is probably much more protected from Covid because of all the breastfeeding (and I’m vaxed AND freshly boosted). She knows we’re not breastfeeding and just took it as a chance to give a jab. I made up for it though - after opening all of the gifts at the shower I proudly announced and thanked my mom for giving us the best gift of all - several weeks of sleep (via a night nurse). Everything she does is deliberate - but two can play the game.

They put out their 'wishlist' on social media a few weeks ahead, then on baby shower day, they go live and open the gifts." "I think moms feel like they need a ton of gadgets and contraptions and baby furniture and the latest carseat in order to bring a baby into the world," she said and added that "The truth is, babies don't need nearly as much as we initially think. All they really need is food, a place to sleep, something to catch their poop, and love. The rest is just a bonus!" #14 My own mother gave me a notebook for my baby shower that was supposed to be filled with supportive messages from people who attended. Except that her own message was so scathing and pretty much just repeated in different ways how much I was going to struggle as a mother.

View more comments #24 I have a pretty “crunchy” friend who marked a bunch of stuff as purchased on my registry and then gifted “natural” versions of the items…I have to think it was just her being thoughtful (as in, she was thinking she got the “better” version of the thing I registered for) but a lot of the stuff she got is just packed with essential oils. I also put a good amount of research into the items I wanted so it was just kind of annoying and I don’t really believe in herbal tinctures or organic always being better. I just want diaper cream and soaps/lotions/nipple cream that works!
