Ask yourself the following questions: Is she basically a stay at home mom who will rarely leave the house for long periods of time or is she constantly on the go and will need to bring everything with her? Is she a perpetually prepared woman who is likely to pack everything she could possibly need or is she the type of woman to only pack the basics?Once you have answered these questions you are well on your way to selecting the size of bag that the new mommy will need. Now, you need only pick a pattern that will match her personality.
Get a Personality-Packed Diaper Bag
We can all agree that a diaper bag may not be the most unique gift to give at a baby shower but that doesn't mean you can't turn it into something really special. Select a pattern that illustrates the future mom's personality. Does she like basic designs? Get her a bag with a simple striped pattern. Is she a woman at the height of fashion? Look into trendy designer diaper bags like one covered with pictures of the Eiffel Tower and trimmed with a polka dot pattern and funky fringe. Once you've selected the perfect bag for the mom-to-be, why not have it monogrammed? If you know the name of the baby put his or name on it. If the name of the baby is unknown, put the new mommy's name on it (she will, after all, be the one toting the bag around). In the end, make sure that the bag you present to the mom-to-be is refelective of who she is.
