Baby Shower Gifts: Soft Plush for a New Baby

Elephant baby plush

A soft plush is one of the few baby shower gifts that's still around years later. The baby sleeps with it, drags it everywhere, and parents often keep it long after. These are the baby plush we'd bring to a shower, all with free shipping.

Floppy first friends

ebba is Aurora's baby line. These long, floppy plush are made for a baby's first hug.

Sshlumpies: part doll, part blanket

Douglas Sshlumpies are lightly stuffed, so they're easy for a baby to carry and easy to pack in a diaper bag. They're also machine washable, which new parents will thank you for.

Soft books for story time

Story Pals pair a plush friend with a soft picture book that has crinkle pages. A hook-and-loop strap attaches them to a car seat, stroller or crib.

Sound and touch toys

Baby Talk is ebba's sound collection: each toy has its own sound, plus rattles and crinkles to explore.

For teething babies

Build a matching set

Douglas makes several baby characters in more than one style, so you can pair a big piece with a small one for a gift that looks put together.

Tips for picking a baby shower plush

  • Check the registry first. If the nursery has a theme, like woodland, farm or safari, pick an animal that fits it.
  • Washable wins. Sshlumpies go in the washing machine. Many others are surface washable, so check the care line on the product page.
  • Read the age label. Most of these are labeled birth and up, but check each product page before you buy.
