A present for the shower
A baby shower gift, finished the day the baby arrives.
Give the birth poster as a promise at the shower, then let the parents complete it with their baby’s real name and measurements once they’re here. A keepsake that grows into the moment.

Why it suits a shower
The gift that waits for the baby.
Most shower gifts are for the bump or the bag. This one is for the baby themselves — held in reserve until there’s a real name and a real birth length to put on it.
- Works before the birth
- Gift the design now as a promise; the parents complete it with real measurements when the baby arrives.
- Neutral and calm
- No need to guess the name, sex or nursery colours — the palettes suit any baby and any room.
- More thoughtful than a card
- A specific keepsake of their actual baby beats a generic voucher — and still leaves the choices to them.
- Nothing to post
- No bulky parcel at the shower. A small printed note explains the gift; the file is downloaded later.

Questions
About gifting it early.
A shower is before the birth — how does a birth poster work as a gift?
Two ways. Gift it as a promise: print a little “coming soon” card at the shower and finish the poster once the baby arrives with their real name and measurements. Or, for a sibling shower, make a poster for an older child to welcome the new one.
How do I present a digital gift at an in-person shower?
Make a small printed card that explains the gift — “your baby’s life-size birth poster, ready the moment they arrive”. We keep the editor link simple, so the parents just enter the final details later and download.
Can the parents-to-be choose the style themselves?
Yes, and many prefer that. You can pick a tasteful default to show at the shower, then let them adjust the palette and style to match their nursery before they download.
Is it suitable if they don’t know the baby’s sex or name yet?
Perfectly. The palettes are neutral and calm, and nothing is locked in until the parents finish the poster after the birth — so there’s no guessing at the shower.
What makes this more personal than a gift card?
A gift card is money; this is a specific keepsake of their actual baby, waiting to be completed. It signals you put thought into something they’ll keep on the wall, not just spend.
