7 Adorable DIY Baby Gift Ideas

Buying a baby gift is a sweet time to remember when yours were that little, dream about the day you’ll have a baby of your own, or just revel in how adorable everything is. 

But finding just the right baby gift doesn’t necessarily mean you have to rely solely on the baby gift registry. You can actually make your own DIY baby gifts (yes, you can!) that you will be proud to give and the new parents will love. 

These are the cutest DIY baby gift ideas we love. 

Gold-Tipped Mary Janes

Is it even a baby shower if there isn’t a diaper cake? The quintessential DIY baby shower gift is the diaper cake. A clever way to give new parents a gift of necessities they’re going to need, all wrapped up in a sweet presentation. But these aren’t just about the diapers. You can add soft little washcloths, baby hats, onesies-- all kinds of new baby must-haves. Embellished with ribbons and buttons and wrapped in sweet patterned receiving blankets, your diaper cake will be the cutest gift baby gets.

If you’ve seen those no-sew fleece blankets, you get the idea behind this cute and creative fleece octopus toy.

This baby gift will look super cute holding down a stack of books on a shelf in baby’s room.
