Kate Middleton Baby Shower Gift Ideas from InStyle Editors

“I love these quilted blankets from Romp. They are made in the USA by famous quilt makers with proceeds benefitting the disabled. They feature fun animal designs and peppy color combos: chimps in hot pink and lime, penguins in lavender and yellow and more. They're cotton, reversible and best for new mom, even a royal one. They are machine washable and dryer-friendly!”

“When you're having your first baby, people give you so much (unsolicited) advice, and every couple of years there is a new must-read instructional book and a new method. This book is so clever and irreverent—it gives the mom a break from all of that. The perfect gift would be this and a bottle of champagne!”

“We bought a handmade cardigan like this while I was pregnant on a trip to Ireland, and it proved to be our favorite go-to layer for our son. Best for the six months and older tots, the sweater is so versatile and warm. I kept it on hand for winter layering and cool summer nights. The Aran knitters have been making these sweaters for decades, and they are great to pass along to family as well.”
