Baby Shower Gift Trends 2025: The Brightberry Self-Feeding Set

Baby Shower Gift Trends: Why Practicality and Style Are Taking Over

Baby showers are a time to celebrate, but choosing the perfect gift can be challenging. With so many options available, how do you select something thoughtful, stylish, and actually useful for the parents-to-be? The answer lies in one of the latest trends: practical gifts that make life easier for new parents.

Gone are the days of gifting outfits that babies outgrow in a matter of weeks or stuffed toys that end up collecting dust. Today’s baby shower gifts are all about functionality, durability, and modern design. If you’re looking for inspiration, we’ve got you covered with insights into why these trends matter and a gift idea that hits all the right notes.

Baby Shower Gift Trends for 2025

1. Practicality Is King
   Parents are looking for products that will make their lives easier. Gifts that are used daily, like feeding sets, sleep aids, or stroller accessories, are topping wish lists.
2. Sustainability Matters
   Eco-conscious parents are seeking out gifts made from sustainable materials. High-quality, durable items not only reduce waste but also make parents feel good about their choices.
3. Gift-Ready Packaging
   Presentation is key! Gifts that come in beautiful packaging feel extra special and eliminate the need for additional wrapping.
4. Encouraging Independence
   Products that support milestones, like self-feeding, walking, or transitioning to solid foods, are in high demand. They help children develop essential skills and give parents a sense of pride.
5. Timeless Over Trendy
   Classic, neutral designs that fit into any home or lifestyle are replacing overly themed or flashy items. Think minimalist, functional, and stylish.

A Thoughtful Gift That Stands Out

If you want a gift that ticks all these boxes, consider the Brightberry Australia by Design Self-Feeding Set. Here's why it’s perfectly aligned with modern baby shower trends:

• Practicality: Mealtime is a daily ritual, and this set makes it easier for parents while fostering independence in little ones.
• Eco-Friendly: Made from high-quality, platinum silicone, the set is durable, unbreakable, and dishwasher-safe. Brightberry silicone is completely free from harmful chemicals. Unlike traditional plastic plates, which can crack or leach microplastics.
• Gift-Ready Packaging: It comes in a beautiful box that’s ready to impress right out of the bag.
• Supports Milestones: Encourages self-feeding and independence, making it a perfect tool for babies transitioning to solid foods.
• Stylish and Timeless: A neutral, modern design that complements any home décor, the Brightberry Self-Feeding Set is available in 4 beautiful colours, making it easy to match with any style or preference.

Why Practical Gifts Are the Most Memorable Baby Shower Gifts

One of the biggest complaints new parents have is receiving gifts that, while cute, are rarely used. A well-chosen gift like the Brightberry Self-Feeding Set stands out because it’s something parents will rely on every day. It helps simplify mealtime, reduces mess, and encourages developmental skills in babies. Making it not only useful but also incredibly thoughtful.

When parents use a gift as often as this, they’ll think of the giver fondly, and that’s what makes it special. Instead of blending into a pile of onesies, your gift will leave a lasting impression.

What Makes the Brightberry Set Unique?

The Brightberry Self-Feeding Set isn’t just another baby product, it’s a carefully designed mealtime solution created to meet the needs of both parents and little ones. 

Here's what sets it apart:

• Suction Bowl with Lid: Features a strong, secure suction base and an airtight lid for storing meals or on-the-go feeding. Its easy-scoop design fosters independence while reducing spills.
• Divided and Non-Divided Plates: Award-winning plates with easy-scoop edges, hidden suction bases, and multiple sections for portion control or picky eaters. They’re versatile, stable, and built to last.
• Ergonomic Silicone Spoons: Wide, textured handles for easy gripping and oral development, with reinforced scooping tips that are soft on gums and ideal for transitioning to self-feeding.
• Premium, Safe Materials: Made from platinum silicone that’s free from toxins, BPA, and microplastics. Dishwasher, microwave, oven, and freezer safe for ultimate convenience.
• Award-Winning Design: Recognised with multiple global design awards, including the Australian Good Design Award and New York Product Design Award, for its innovation and functionality.

Brightberry’s award-winning design has even been featured on Channel 10’s Australia by Design TV: Innovations, making it a gift that’s as functional as it is prestigious.

Useful Tips for Choosing the Perfect Baby Shower Gift

1. Ask Parents About Their Needs
   If you’re close to the parents, ask what they need or already have. This prevents duplicate gifts and ensures your present is appreciated.
2. Think Beyond the First Few Months
   Babies grow fast! Opt for items like feeding sets, high chairs, or toddler essentials that parents can use well into the baby’s second year.
3. Pair Practical with Personal
   Adding a heartfelt note or pairing the gift with something small, like a book or keepsake, can make it extra special.

What’s included in the Brightberry Self-Feeding Set?
The set includes a suction bowl with an airtight lid, two ergonomic silicone spoons, and divided and non-divided plates. Each item is made from high-quality platinum silicone for durability and safety.

Are the self-feeding sets safe for babies?
Absolutely! The Brightberry Self-Feeding Set is made from platinum silicone that’s free from harmful chemicals, ensuring it’s safe for your little one during mealtime.

Can the suction bowls and plates go in the dishwasher, microwave or steriliser?
Yes! All pieces in the Brightberry Self-Feeding Set are dishwasher-safe, making cleaning quick and easy. The bowls and plates are microwave- and steriliser-safe for added convenience. However, the spoons are not microwave- or steriliser-safe due to the nylon insert.

Is the suction bowl strong enough for toddlers?
Absolutely! Thanks to our unique, award-winning design, the suction base features large-volume air displacement. When pressed correctly in the centre, it creates an ultra-strong seal that keeps the bowl securely in place, minimising spills and messes, even with the most curious toddlers at the table.

Will the suction bowl stick to my Tripp Trapp chair?
Unfortunately, the Tripp Trapp tray has a textured surface, which prevents any suction from working directly on it. However, we’ve got you covered! As the inventors of the Suction Sticker, you can apply it to the Tripp Trapp tray, creating a smooth surface that allows the suction bowl to work just as effectively as on any other smooth surface. Suction solved - mealtime made easier!
