Catherine's Picks: Savvy Baby Shower Gift Ideas
If you're reading this, you've likely already had your baby shower, and you're now a newly minted mama-with-experience. When you were creating your registry, you were probably scouring the guides for must-have essentials for newborns. We did, too! But then we hit the "introducing solids" phase and realized we left SO MUCH off of our baby registries!
Our Co-founder, Catherine, rounded up a few of those must-haves that you'll want to gift to your gals as they start celebrating their new babes. And if they're not already tucked in your diaper bag.... <add to cart>.
Busy Baby Bottle Bungee
Why we love it:
Developmentally we know that it’s going to happen, but constantly chasing down a bottle or drippy sippy cup filled with milk gets old—fast. We love this Busy Baby Bottle Bungee (say that three times fast!) that is universally sized to fit on most bottles and sippy cups to keep their drinks within a literal arm’s reach.

EZ PZ Happy Mat
Why we love it:
Meal time just got more fun, and *way* cleaner. As babes start to explore and learn how to feed themselves, these mats help their food stay in place on the table (or high chair!). Made of BPA free silicone, these anti-slip mats stay put, so your little can learn how to scoop, push, and pierce their food without the plate moving out from underneath them.

More Peas Snack Cup with tether
Why we love it:
You probably know by now, we *LOVE* these snack cups for their ease of use, anti-slip bottoms, and super fun coloring. Adding a tether strap makes it the perfect snack time partner. Use the tether to attach the snack cup to your stroller, and bonus: when not used for snacking, it also keeps baby's favorite teether or paci from escaping! This tether is like giving babe (and mama!) and extra hand.

Hippypotamus Reusable Baby Food Pouches
Why we love them:
Knowing you're able to put delicious, nutritious and whole ingredients into your own smoothies or fruit and veggie pouches gives you the freedom to explore new flavors, textures and recipes. Easy to fill, easy to clean and eco-friendly!

PandaEar Silicone Bibs
Why we love them:
What's not to love!? Bibs that can are dishwasher safe, easy to rinse AND can catch food? Yes, please! These silicone bibs are sturdy enough to stay open, and soft enough to not get in the way of your little one's food. They have a large front pocket that collects any nibbles your babe's mouth may have missed, which makes clean up extra easy.

Mission MightyMe Puffs
Why we love them:
While these aren't something you'd likely get at a baby shower, early allergen introduction is so important, and something parents should be thinking about very early on (peds recommend the 4-6 month range), so you're prepared when the time comes! In two delicious flavors, Mission MightyMe's Proactive Peanut Puffs and Proactive Nut Butter Puffs, are an easy and fun way to introduce peanuts and tree nuts into little diets, with no stress and no mess!
