What to bring for the baby shower!

Maybe you don’t have kids. Or maybe your children are all grown-up and you feel a little out of the loop.

 Whatever the reason, when it comes to shopping for your friends baby shower, it’s not as easy as shopping for your friends birthday, wedding or anniversary party. Especially if it is for those who are having their first child and you have never gone shopping for a gift like this before. From gifts such as funky outfits for the parents to utility items for the baby, you find yourself stumped regarding the choice of gifts.  
A baby shower in Goa can be quite the spectacular event with gifts and decorations to match the occasion.  As per the usual practice, the to-be mother,  usually opens the gifts in front of the friends gathered and this usually leads to friendly banter and hilarious reactions. 
While there is a wide range available at shopping stores and shopping websites, a conversation among first time parents in Goa, revealed that Goans like to buy are gifts that the new moms actually need or a toy that the child can play with. For the mothers, the gifts usually range from spa vouchers, clothes, to home cooked food preparations while for the children, these include diapers, blankets, strollers or songs the baby can listen to.
