A Hawaiian shirt makes an ideal Hawaiian-themed baby gift.
When a mother is expecting a baby, whether the child is a native Hawaiian or the mother wishes for a Hawaiian-themed baby shower, give a Hawaiian baby gift that is both colorful and culturally significant. Hawaiian baby gifts can give a baby the opportunity to grow up learning about the Hawaiian culture and come to appreciate native Hawaiian waters, flowers, animals and traditions.
Hawaiian-Themed Clothes and Bedding
Since a baby is constantly growing, he will need a large quantity of clothes and bedding to accommodate this growth. Hawaiian-themed clothes can give a colorful and cute flair to any baby's wardrobe. Give boys brightly colored Hawaiian shirts printed with tropical birds and hibiscus flowers. For girls, give floral dresses, either sarongs or spaghetti strap. You can also give baby-sized leis and grass skirts. Top off Hawaiian-themed costumes with a pair of sunglasses to protect the baby's eyes from the sun, and brightly colored pink or green flip flops. For crib bedding and blankets, find tropical flower, ocean or surfboard patterns.
Hawaiian Umbrella Bonsai Tree
A Hawaiian umbrella bonsai tree, straight from the tropics, is a gift that will grow with the baby and last for several years. As far as bonsai trees go, the Hawaiian umbrella bonsai tree is relatively low maintenance and can be placed next to the baby's crib or in another low-light place inside the house. The bonsai tree should be watered frequently, trimmed and placed into larger containers as it grows.
Hawaiian Diaper Cake
Give a diaper cake with a Hawaiian twist. Babies and their parents can always use extra diapers and toys, and a Hawaiian diaper cake can be a vibrant and useful gift to present at any baby shower. Purchase a diaper cake, then decorate it with tropical-colored ribbons, plastic hibiscus flowers and tiger lilies. Finish by adding rubber ducks, Swedish fish candies and tropical fish lollipops.
Hawaiian Children's Books
Hawaiian children's books can help a baby grow up with an appreciation of the Hawaiian islands through traditional Hawaiian legends, language lessons and picture books. Books like "Akua Hawaii" and "The Hawaiian Volcano" tell Hawaiian legends in a children's story format. Hawaiian books such as "A is for Aloha" teach the alphabet with a Hawaiian theme. "Quiet on Maui" teaches children a Hawaiian language inside of a story. Most bookstores also carry picture books of Hawaiian tropical flowers, fish, animals and landscape photography.
