Baby Shower Gift Ideas for Coworkers and Acquaintances

You’ve just been invited to a baby shower — maybe for a coworker you like, or a friend-of-a-friend you don’t know that well. You want to give something thoughtful, but not too personal or over-the-top.

Don’t worry — we’ve put together a list of baby shower gift ideas that are perfectly suited for colleagues, distant relatives, or acquaintances. These picks are sweet, useful, and beautifully packaged — no awkward guesswork needed!


🎁 1. Neutral Baby Gift Boxes

A pre-packed gift box with soft baby items (like booties, a teether, and a plush toy) is always a safe and delightful choice. Neutral colors work for any gender and keep things simple.
