Just because it’s a recession doesn’t mean that you don’t have to prepare for baby showers and wedding showers. In fact, recessions actually create cottage markets for the so-called “wedding industry” due to spikes in engagements. I always tell my clients that shopping with your shrinking pocketbook in mind is a real buzz killer for finding great baby shower gifts. The effective way to shop during financially tight times is with your intuition. This article will outline some easy ways to focus on that inner knowledge to find the perfect gift without spending a lot of money.

The first trick when shopping for loved ones is to notice where you do your best brainstorming. Don’t stand in the aisle at a department store to shop for unique baby gifts, because the possibilities have already been drastically limited. Not sure how to begin? My advice: take a stroll. Movement can get us “unstuck” and a leisurely stroll around one of your favorite parks or trails can be a great way to get those creative juices flowing.

Now focus in on your relationship with the individual you are shopping for. Let the memories come up, along with the good times and inside jokes. Next, think about your friend’s situation: getting married, having a baby, changing careers? Focus on the dynamic life changes that define this person’s world right now.

Here’s my favorite part of this process. Touch base with your intimate or heart-level connection with your friend while logically remembering her greatest needs as a result of her present life situation. Just hold these two things at the same time, like juggling, and stay open to sudden insights. I’ve found that the perfect baby shower gifts will literally materialize in my minds eye by using this process. And because these insights come from the heart, they are often small objects or thoughtful considerations that do not cost a lot of money.
