Baby Shower Gift Idea: Wooden Baby Hangers

Wooden baby hangers make a great baby shower gift. The quality and beauty that they add to a nursery make them an ideal choice for a unique and useful gift. Wooden baby hangers are something that an expectant mother may not think to buy for herself. She will think of you every time she hangs up little outfits.

Wooden infant hangers can make the presentation of a new outfit something really special. For instance, if you are passing down an heirloom Christening gown, wouldn't it look especially nice on a special wood hanger? If the hanger is of a high quality, then it can become an heirloom, too. You can even have a name or design imprinted on the hanger for an extra special touch.

Infant hangers are especially gentle on delicate fabrics. They have smooth, curved shoulders to help avoid tears and snags. They prevent shoulder puckering that can ruin an important or heirloom outfit. The expectant mother you love will appreciate getting something so thoughtful and she will not have to endure the regret of damaging something that she treasures.

Wooden baby hangers are an elegant addition to any nursery. But, you can make them more fun by getting wood hangers with hearts, cartoon characters, unique colors and more. You can even get exciting beaded baby hangers.

Use your infant hangers to assemble a unique gift basket. Include necessities like lotion and bottles, stuffed animals, books and clothes. You can make a themed basket, like a bath time basket, by filling the container with towels, bath toys, soap and baby wash cloths.

Whether you decide to just give hangers or make a basket, you might want to add some variations. You can get combination baby hangers, designed to hold tops and bottoms that go together on one hanger. Or you might opt for a natural wood display hanger. This is like the combination hanger, but the pants portion hangs lower, so that it is easier to see that the top and bottom of the outfit are both there. This also helps to keep the closet from getting crammed and wrinkling clothes.

Another accessory to consider throwing in is a package of baby hanger size markers. These make wonderful gifts. New mothers will receive outfits and clothing of all different sizes. Size markers will help her organize the closet so that she can easily see what is sized for 3 months and what is a 2T or 3T.

Your hanger gift is sure to be a big hit at your next baby shower. Showing that you care about quality, style, usability and making a new mother's life easier will make your gift memorable. Customizing or personalizing your wooden baby hangers can make the memories last a lifetime.
