Baby shower gifts

A shower gift should survive daily use, not just photograph well. This shelf mixes DIY projects with buy options for every budget — and every guide carries at least one handmade alternative, because that's the whole point of this site.

What you'll find:

• Handmade picks: sewn, felted, and embroidered keepsakes
• Buy picks that are actually worth the money
• What to skip — an opinionated list, updated as tastes change
