A couple weeks ago, I had a baby shower for a friend of mine and while I will be talking about that soon (hopefully next week!), today, I wanted to share an Etsy shop that I came across in my search for things to do for my friend’s shower. I decided on a book theme because books are awesome and my friend has always liked to read. Her sister also informed me that her favorite children’s book is Love You Forever by Robert Munsch. In honor of that, I tried to find ways that I could incorporate that book into the shower. There were a few things online that I would have loved to have gotten for the mom-to-be if I’d had more time/funds, but I still wanted to share one of those items here in case you have a mom to celebrate soon!
The Perfect Baby Shower Gift: A Reading Pillow for Mom and Baby! #babyshower #ontheblog Click To TweetMary Miller owns the Etsy shop Bay Lake Embroidery, based out of Florida, and she sells a variety of wonderful items for baby and mom from blankets to decorative pillows to tote bags.
While searching Etsy for my friend, I came across Mary’s wonderful reading pillows. These pillows have a pocket in the front where you can store a book. And yes, there is a Love You Forever pillow! How awesome would this be as a gift for the mom to be? Just add the book and it’s something she can share with her little one for years to come!
You can choose from pink or blue and each pillow is $35. Like I said before, I wasn’t able to get one of these pillows before the shower, but it’s still something to keep in mind for when the baby finally arrives!
What do you think? Have you ever heard of a reading pillow?
I have never heard of a reading pillow but I think it is the perfect gift!
What a great spin on an actual book pinning for later
Something that is only becoming popular in England now, I like this theme if not particularly the idea of baby showers.
What a cute idea! (All my friends are currently having babies, I need as many ideas like this as possible haha)
These are absolutely darling!!
This is absolutely the sweetest thing! I love it!
A reading pillow?!?! Ah, I think that I must have one of these cuz it is AWESOME! 🙂
I’ve never heard of a reading pillow! I don’t actually use a pillow when I’m reading, but I can see the appeal for a child. They have their book and a comfy place to rest while they read.

Such a precious pillow and perfect for a gift!
This is too cute!!
Such a nice idea!! I love shopping on Etsy for gifts!
Perfect gift idea to add with a basket of favorite children’s books! (Plus a book for mom!) Thanks for sharing this!
This is a very cute and original idea! Sometimes you don’t want to get the gift off the registry, you want to get something more meaningful and special and this would be great for that. 🙂
Aww, this looks cute! I hope someone will give something like this to me when the time comes for me to have a baby 🙂
loved it
Oh, my goodness—I love this so much <3 so sweet, and I love the idea of a book-themed shower! Book pillow—who wouldn’t want something like this in their life?!
Hope you are enjoying your weekend, momma!! Xoxo
Oh that is so sweet! A very nice gift 🙂
What a fun idea! If I ever had kids, I would totally do a book-themed shower!
Oh this is SUCH a sweet gift! I love this idea, it’s something a little different, and personal, and would be perfect to give, especially if you know the mom is a fan of a book (or if you think she should be hahah.) Thanks for sharing this, it’s a great idea if anyone I know has a baby!
Oh wow, that pillow is adorable 🙂 bookish gifts in general absolutely rule! That’s a great idea.
What a great idea! I’m sure any mom would love to receive a sweet pillow like that as a gift. I love how it has a little pocket!
That’s the cutest gift ever! It’s a popular book, and the pastel colors are just to die for.
What a pretty pillow!
This is such a cute idea. I looked at the etsy shop too and love all of the different patterns you can choose from.
What a sweet idea! This is so cute!
These are super cute! I love the idea of training your children early to hide a book in a pillow when you should be sleeping. 😉
That pillow makes such an awesome present! What a great idea.
This is super cute and such a fun idea!
That is adorable! I am sure I will be invited to a shower soon, so I will keep this in mind 🙂
That pillow is so cute. A book themed baby shower and baby shower gifts sounds amazing!
I’ve seen something similar sold in one of our bookstores here, mass produced so it doesn’t have the sentimental value but they’re such a great idea for anyone who loves to read. I’m just checking out her store now and have absolutely fallen in love with her personalised baby quilts with the monogram lettering. Even with post to Australia, they’re around $100.00 which is perfect for close friends and family who’ve just had a new baby. Have bookmarked her store. Thanks so much for sharing Lauren and looking forward to hearing more about the shower ♥♥♥
I love it!
I’ve never heard of a Reading Pillow until now but think it’s a great idea for a baby shower.
