How To Choose The Right Baby Shower Gift Bag

A baby shower gift is given on a baby shower. Baby showers are normally held for the mother to be a few weeks before her expected due date. Although it's called a baby shower, some of the gifts are usually for the mother instead of for the baby. Some gifts need a baby shower gift bag instead of being wrapped in traditional wrapping paper and ribbons. A baby shower gift bag is a paper bag that can hold a gift, specifically a baby shower gift. Other gift bags are for all other occasions and these are normally differentiated by the prints on these.

Prints And Solids

Usually, a baby shower gift bag is decorated or printed with anything connected to babies. Many manufacturers of this kind of bag focus on specific events with which to make a theme for the gift bags. A baby shower gift bag normally has a baby shower gift card attached to it without any additional cost. The gift card is usually the same theme as that of the gift bag or complements it. These gift cards are usually the size of a small credit card.

Printed gift bags are usually pastel colored solids or prints. Pink, yellow, blue and green in the lighter shades are the more common since these are the most beautiful colors. The neutral yellow color can be used to contain the baby shower gift. Pinks are usually reserved for girls while blues and greens are for boys although, the pastel colors can apply to girls more than boys. Complementing ribbons are usually tied at the mouth of the baby shower gift bag and these can be curled or stuck in some parts of the gift bag.

A baby shower gift bag will usually come in many different sizes. Some may be small enough to contain a spoon and fork set or large enough to contain a full size baby chair or bouncer. The larger or oversized baby shower gift bags may be cumbersome to lug around while the medium sized to small are very convenient. The handle of any baby shower gift bag is usually made of cord or thick ribbon.

Another thing that might be nice to complement a baby shower gift bag is gift tissues. Tissue paper is a thin paper that is usually wrapped around the item or gift. In some cases, the baby shower gift bag tissue coordinates with the tissue or complements it. The baby shower gift bag can also be made more unique or interesting by making the the tissue peek out of the baby shower gift bag.
