The birth of a baby is a year round celebration. Showers are a great opporitunity to give handmade gifts from the heart. I think nothing makes a better gift than a beautiful handmade keepsake.

Here are a few ideas I like, please add your ideas, instuctionals, or tutorials for handmade baby shower gifts here!

Mobiles are a favorite gift of mine to make for baby-to-be's nursery. Here are a few different kinds and links to their instructions.

polka dot mobile

ribbon mobile

felt bird mobile

Another popular shower gift idea is the ever popular diaper cake...

Here is an instructional video about making your own diaper cake...

Another gift i have made in the past are hand painted or decoupaged wooden name letters... like these:

They sell these types of wooden letters and many other styles at most craft stores, They are reasonably priced and very easy to decorate to match the decor of any nursery!

I look forward to seeing you ideas for baby shower gifts!!! Please post your ideas and pictures here!

I made this diaper cake for my first baby shower (also my first diaper cake) i wanted people to be able to stick money to it (more less like a diaper tree instead) i had lil pins and a note the read "Diaper backwards says repaid..Think about it" as well as a one that said "Diaper Fund" It worked out great and i think i may do it again....or something like it...Diaper funds are a great way for people to drop a few bucks for all those diapers you'll be buying for the next few years!!
