Honour this special day by wrapping the little angel in the cosiest Australian Merino wool. Soul Baby Gifts have loads of luxe blanket options like the UIMI, made in Melbourne.

How To Write The Perfect Baby Shower Gift Card Message
Are you the type of person who feels the pressure when it comes to writing cards? Don't want to ramble on but don't want to be bland or generic either?
Yeah, we get that. And if a loved one is having a baby, then the baby shower gift card message can be, like, 100 times more pressure.
But just breathe for a sec. You're not writing a presidential speech here - you're writing a message to someone you love! Let's ask the team at Soul Baby Gifts for their top tips on writing a memorable baby shower gift card message:
Buy the perfect card first
Before you start writing, you need an adorable card. There are plenty of cards online, at the newsagents or at the supermarket. Don't stress too much about find the one - just go for something cute, playful or pretty.
Be yourself
Sure, it's a serious occasion and an important milestone in someone's life. But that doesn't mean we just assume a super serious personality when writing a baby shower gift card message! The first rule to writing the perfect gift card is to simply be yourself.
This means writing the same way you would speak. Lots of people pick up a pen and automatically start using more formal language which they'd never use in real life - probably a residual symptom of our school years! Don't be afraid to be your goofy, silly, fabulous self when writing the perfect baby shower gift card message.
Make it personal
Going hand in hand with being yourself is the idea of making it personal. Bring up personal memories you've spent with the lucky mama, and how they illustrate her future as an amazing mother. Or, do the opposite and contrast her current life with her younger years when she used to be a party girl. Both are good.
Be supportive
You can be cheeky, funny and silly, but always remember to tie it up on a supportive note. Let your friend know that you're going to be there for her through thick and thin, even when the challenges of motherhood are at their most challenging.
Or, keep it short and sweet
If you're a newer friend or a colleague of the mum and you don't have an endless stream of memories shared with her, that's OK - you don't have to stick to this advice like it's a bible. Just keep it short, sweet and from the heart!
So, now that you're a master of writing the card, it's time to find the perfect baby shower gift! Soul Baby Gifts is Australia's #1 online store for high quality gifts, for both Mum and Bub.

Books are a perfect budget gift for a baby shower. Soul Baby Gifts have a whole stack of beautiful, unique and colourful early readers, so you can wow the mum-to-be without breaking the bank. A super affordable yet practical gift, you can spend under $50 and get a fantastic pair of baby booties. While there may be a certain baby gift which is incredible but on the more expensive side, if you go halves, thirds or quarters with a group of friends, it actually works out super affordable.
A baby shower is the start of celebrating the new bambino on the way and a fabulous way you can help the new parents prepare. If the expecting parents have organised a registry, try to reach out to other attendees to ensure there's no double-ups. The early months of raising a baby can be demanding, so choosing strategic gifts can make these special times a little easier. In good etiquette it's a sweet gesture to give a gift at a baptism. A first birthday is a celebration for the baby, but also a time to give the parents a big pat on the back for navigating their way through a whole year.
