The Best Baby Shower Gifts for the DIY Mom

My crafty and creative friends are generally the hardest to shop for. With their eclectic tastes and distinct personalities, a pre-made present never feels quite right. Since DIY folks love projects that they can really dig into and create from scratch, or assemble with just a few starter-pieces to make something that’s completely their own, I always try to find something that appeals to their crafty side.

If you have a friend who loves DIY from scratch, then we have five baby shower gifts that are sure to please.
