Luxury baby shower gift ideas

You can thank the parents of American baby boomers for inventing the baby shower in the wake of the Second World War. Since then the tradition has become a way to help to set up soon-to-be parents for their new life. It also happens to be the perfect opportunity to ensure that the incoming child will undeniably be the most stylish at nursery.

Nappies may not be chic, but a Prada Re-Nylon changing bag certainly is. You could buy a plastic baby breakfast set, sure. Or you could buy one from Christofle. The beautiful thing about buying beautiful things is that they can go on to become heirlooms that both the parents and child will treasure for ever. With that in mind, we present you with the ultimate baby shower gift guide.
