baby gift / baby shower gift? need new ideas?

*cassie

im looking for a new idea of what to make for a baby gift for a shower. ive done a nappy cake, bunch of socks and baby clothes (bunch of flowers) and gift baskets/hampers. has anyone got any other ideas of what i can do. i enjoyed making the sock bouquets... is there anything i can do similar but in a different shape! i like unusual so all ideas welcome

Answer
my girlfriend bought a bunch of cloths for my daughter and put them on a cloths line with cloths pins and then laid them in a tall hamper with a note on the end of the line that said "pull slowly" It was amazing! She went way over board and the line stretched about 50 feet long. It was the hit of our shower. So our gift was a cute pink hamper and a ton of cloths. I am not a fan of the diaper cakes because we didn't like the diapers and I ended up not using them at all.

baby shower gift ideas?

Kallia

im goin to a baby shower and i want to get some cute stuff... (its a girl) i dont want to spend a fortune but i dont want to get any cheap stuff, any ideas?

Answer
My best baby items are:
-Soothie pacifiers...this is what babies are given in the hospital and all they seem to want after that!
-Battery Operated Nasal Aspirator. This has been a lifesaver! She does not even whimper when I use it on her, yet screamed like I was killing her when I used the blue bulb syringe
-Gas Drops, Infant Tylenol, etc. Needed for shots, gas late at night, etc.
-Burp Clothes. can never have too many!
-a cute Newborn outfit. Everyone says "buy big" but then you have NOTHING that fits the kid the week you bring them home.
- one of those carseat covers that fit on like a casserole cover. Have a circle flap to show baby's face and zippers to get child in/out. Only $15 at Wal-Mart but keeps ALL wind, rain, etc off baby.
- Nursery Stain Remover. I use "Little Sara's" and it gets everything out! There are NO formula stains on any of my daughter's c;othes at all. Works like a miracle.
- a wedge that goes on the top of the crib mattress, but under the sheet. It is the same width as the mattress. Keeps baby's head elevated a bit in bed. Nice for when you feed the baby and lay them down right away (in the middle of the night). Really helps with spit-up.

Christening gift ideas for a boy?

apple

My friends are having their 1 year old boy christened soon, and I want to get a gift. However, they are flying in from a foreign country (where they now live) and so it can't be big or heavy. Also, I don't want to get some lame, useless silver spoon or whatever. They're pretty good friends of mine, so it will have to be something nice & memorable! Any ideas for something interesting or unusual?

Answer
You could get a nice baby Bible. My twins got one at their Christening and I read it to them often :) They also got a cross with their names engraved on them. I bought my daughter a cross necklace for when she gets older, and getting one for my son when I find one I like.

If you go to a Christain store, I'm sure you will find something or at least get more ideas

what to buy for baby boy's christening?

wannaknow

I was chosen to be the godmother for my friends baby boy. I need ideas for a gift for his christening.I hear a small gift made of silver is traditional??? I have never been to one before, they are Catholic. What to wear? Is a nice sweater, dress pants appropriate? Please help I'm a jeans and t shirt kind of girl! Thanks in advance!

Answer
my husband and i are catholic as well, and our babys baptism is this week, if theyre very traditional then yes something silver or engraved would be nice, or even practical things he may need, there really is no set standard for gifts, ive heard of people gifting beautiful blankets, getting the babys shoes coated in metal to save, part of the outfit ( like bib or shoes or what not) , or just regular old baby gifts ( bottles, clothes, toys etc.)
as for the outfit, think dressy. as if you were going to a job interview but not over the top.
nice dress pants and a sweater would be perfect, along with some nice shoes and a few accessories. also dont go to heavy with the make up, i did that to church once and i got some not so nice stares, keep it light. lol.

Gift ideas for Mother's Day??? Anyone?

emmadoll

I need some gift ideas for mom, the woman who has everything. Please do not suggest flowers or candy... that's boring. Thanks!

Answer
How about a gift certificate to a spa, if you have the money like a 150 dollar one so she can get a nice massage and maybe a new hairstyle.

If money is tight how about a year magazine subscription that has something to do with one of her hobbies, like a gardening magazine, cooking, baking, home decorating, etc. You can get a year subscription for about 20 dollars and its thoughtful and not just like flowers that are gone in a week..a magazine subscription keeps giving. You can right in the card something cheesy like I got you a gift that will be there the whole year just like you are for me :)

Or something for around the house a cappuccino maker? A new set of pots and pans? George forman grill? New dishes? New bath towels? A new comforter set? A maid service for a month so she doesn't have to clean. New vacuum cleaner? A gas gift card, or grocery store gift card, a few books on things shes interested in, a series of a tv show she likes on dvd, (lol ok I think I'm giving you my list of what I would like- maybe it can spark an idea though..)

hope i helped :)

evy breadl

Okay so my boyfriend is 17 and he's going to be an uncle and I'm trying to think of a creative cute gift to give him when his niece is born in a few weeks and I can't think of anything and need some help. The weird thing is that me and his niece have the same name, so I'm trying to think of something really special that has to do with that as well. Thanks!

New Baby gift?

chrissytim

my aunt just had a baby boy--her third. what would be a nice gift besides clothes and a scrapnook that she and the baby could have and cherish and use forever??

thanks :)
and i want it to be unique..not like a blanket, or pillow

something no one would really think of getting....

Answer
try having a diaper cake for him.

it's like a layered cake made of three or five different sizes of diaper covered with baby's clothes.

bottom layer: XL size diaper. let's say a shirt that will fit for a 1 year old boy with a cartoon character design.

second layer: L size diaper. with a shorts that fits for 9 month old baby boy in different colors.

third layer: M sized diaper. with blankets and baby toys around.

fourth layer: S sized diaper. with bibs or towels around in different shades

a top layer with baby bottles and pacifiers.

designing your diaper cake is easy, you just have to be creative and patient and have all the things that you needed for it.

Gifts for an 8 month old?

Airica **M

My son will be 8 months old at Christmas and I would like to start picking things up here and there. Problem is, I am not sure what to get for him at that age. What did all of your babies play with and get interested in at that age? Did they actually unwrap their gifts? Could you tell they were excited even though they didn't fully understand the situation? Just wondering! Thanks!
Minnie - I LOVE Christmas! To me, the waiting is torture so I always start early..normally I run out of hiding spots...good thing Madden is so little..dang now I'm wondering about next year. LOL
Amber - Thanks! That was really helpful! I already know most people will get him clothes so I'm trying to do the toys and stuff. I'm like you, I love to have presents under the tree....I wish I could put it up now.
Nutter - It's true, everyones babies are different. Hopefully my little guy is trying to walk at Christmas..that would be a JOY! He actually rolled both front to back, and back to front yesterday so I am still pretty excited!
Kayti - I'm so jealous you are doing outdoor stuff, my little guy can't be outside much this summer so we are going stir crazy in here. Looks like he will be getting noise makers, seems to be the one thing everyone is agreeing on.
Donna - That was pretty snarky and well quite frankly, you annoy me.

Answer
My daughter was 9 months old at Christmas and she LOVED unwrapping presents. Of course, grandma kept giving her Christmas presents early, so she got some practice :). She liked her sit-to-ride push toy, and she still uses that. She also likes blocks, a ring-stack thing, tub toys, and a little play kitchen. A lot of people got her clothes, because they are just stinking cute, and she liked waving those around on Christmas morning and getting inside the boxes they came in. Because I like presents under the tree, I wrapped up some of her favorite snacks, too. And a coloring book, which she hasn't really cared for until now. She also got a lot of board books and a glow worm, and a pretend remote control and cell phone. They were a hit and still are.

They really don't need a lot for Christmas. Mine would get something, and then play with it before opening another. So it took a while to get through the presents.

Good luck!

Xmas gifts for 8 month old baby boy?

randomness

I'm trying to figure out what will be the best gifts for my son. So far we got the lol zoomers speedway, laugh and learn move station, and baby laptop. Any other ideas on some good toys he will use for awhile? He likes buttons and cracks up at silly noises (like most babies his age lol) we have clothes and books picked out already so just some fun educational toys for the upcoming months. Thanks!

Answer
When our oldest son was that age he loved his Stride to Ride Lion. They can push it like a walker and later ride on it. He loved it until he was around 2 and now our youngest son loves it just as much.

We also have a crawl and cruise jungle for our youngest son.

Another favourite is their activity table. It has numbers, letters, shapes and colours to help introduce little ones to them.

What's a good (lucky) gift for a pregnant Chinese (Taiwanese) woman?

Colin T

My sister-in-law is from Taiwan, but lives in America. She recently became pregnant, and I know her well enough to be sure that she would appreciate a traditional Chinese acknowledgment of some kind. While I can find lots of Chinese traditions about baby gifts for children, I can't find anything about the mother except how she should behave during the pregnancy. What, if anything, would be a good gift for her before the baby is born?

Answer
A bamboo plant is considered Lucky - as is the number 6.

Which year is this that the baby will be born in? You could get her a stuffed animal of whichever animal year the baby will be born in. It might be the Rat in 2008. Maybe you can find a "cute" stuffed animal rat?

Rat

The rat applies to anyone who is born in 1912, 1924, 1936, 1960, 1972, 1984, 1996, 2008, 2020, 2032, and 2044.

The rat was the first animal in the Chinese zodiac cycle. The rat is usually considered to be aggressive, ambitious, power-hungry, suspicious, generous, honest, quick to anger and prone to spend freely. All of those who are born under the sign of the rat are charming, imaginative and generous to the one they love. However, those born under the sign of the rat are frequently hot-tempered and overly critical. They are normally suitable in sales or as a writer, publicist or critic. Rats have to avoid Horses but get along well with Dragons and Monkeys.

Hope I could help!!! I'm sure anything special for her would be a nice gesture too - certificate to a spa, restaurant, baby store?

Jewish Mothers: what sort of gift would be appreciated (or not) by a jewish mother who's just had a baby girl?

hannah

I could buy baby clothes, but I'd like to get something that would also be culturally sensitive as the mother's whole family is keenly Jewish. They are not Orthodox (for example, she chooses to wear trousers and t-shirts), but her baby has a jewish name and will be given a jewish rite of passage. I apologize in advance if I've worded anything inappropriately here; I'm learning.

Answer
It sounds to me like a respectful, well-stated question!
Here's a link to a site with over 200 gift items for Jewish babies and children:
http://www.thesourceforeverythingjewish.com/search.asp?SKW=03BabyandChildren&CAT=Baby+%26+Children
You might consider getting a small jewelry item, a Jewish lullaby CD, or a hamsa to hang in the baby's room....
This site can be a bit pricey, but at least it will give you good ideas.

Baby name meaning miricle. ?

Emma Nelso

I am writing a story where the main character has the devils sons son. The legacy (in this story) is that te Satan line has two males and then a female so she was supposed to have a female but it is a male.

I need a male name that means Miracle. Not gods blessing as the character believes god hates her as she turned to the devil for help. Do you know any names? I was thinking Ellijah but I don't know what that means.

Thank you in advance for all your help.

Answer
Elijah means "My god is Yahweh" Yahweh is another name for the Christian/Jewish god.

Most of the names i found where actually for females. .
perhaps you should just let her have a girl.

The only male name i found was Milagro. Most anything that comes up from a search really means "Gift" not "Miracle".

girl names meaning Miracle:
Alazane
Karishma
Milagros
Nessa

What size diaper should the average 3 month old baby boy wear? Need to get a surprise gift...?

my daughter wore size 1 until she was 4.5 months old, but people always say she's tiny. babies should double birth weight by 6 months (not 3 months as the above poster said) and triple by 1 year.

Need non-toy gift ideas for a 3 year old boy?

kmmckim

Well I had been planning to take my 3 year old son to pick out some fish for his birthday but today my mother brought him home with two fish in a fully equipped fish tank. So now that my awesome birthday idea is ruined I need some ideas for really special birthday presents. I want this year to be special for him because he is going to be a big brother next week. His birthday is still a few weeks away but I wanted to take him out to pick out something really cool shortly after the new baby is born to let him know he is still special and important. We don't want just another toy we want to find something that is just for him that he can really enjoy. Any ideas would help a lot.

Answer
Um how about an art easel complete with art tools, a themed desk/table for toddlers(like spiderman), a trip to the zoo or aquarium could be fun also. A high end wagon with a canopy shade and all, a powerwheel car. I'm sure you'll come up with something great!

Need help with a memorial gift?

hapymom03

My nephew was born too early and did not make it. This April would have been his first birthday. He means a lot to our family and I wanted to get something to give my brother and his wife to honor that day. So if I had this saying...You touched our hearts the day you were born in your own endearing
way.Happy First Birthday to a
Forever Angel.
Love (then our names and the date)
engraved on this...http://www.thingsremembered.com/webapp/w...

Would that saying be good or any suggestions? Keep in mind the cost of personalization is $3 a word from the place I am looking at.
The star idea is great, although that has already been done for him. The tree idea, he has one in their yard. As for the March of Dimes I am raising money now and doing the March For Babies this month.

I know it is not his first birthday that is why it says to a "forever angel"

It will be painful for them that day weather I give them anything or not. She has a count down on her myspace page till his "first Birthday"

And yes she is moving on they have twins 4 months old still struggling to come home from the special care nursery.

Okay well I had mixed feelings before and you all had so many different views I went with this....http://www.thingsremembered.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product_10001_9951_597759_-1_1?fcref=

Then had them engrave "Forever in our hearts, then his name and then We love you"

I know nothing I do or don't do and that day will make it harder or easier! Thanks for all the imput

Answer
As a mother who lost a baby, I disagree with those who say not to remind the parents of the baby's death. It's something a mother can't possibly understand until she has experienced it. The worst thing one can do is to pretend like the baby never existed. However, every parents handles it differently. Some choose to honor their baby's birthday (like I do), while others try to put it in the back of their minds. I personally would love your idea, but I'm not your brother or sister - in - law.
Another idea would be to make a donation to the March Of Dimes in your nephew's memory.
I wish your family well on what will surely be a bittersweet day.
*EDIT* Again, as a mother who has experienced infant loss, thank you for raising money for MOD. I'm sure your brother and his wife really appreciate it.

has anyone given birth recently at white memorial in east los angeles If so what gifts are they giving baby?

Rocio Ruiz

I want to know what are the gifts the baby and the mother get when they are discharged.

Answer
I haev never given birth at that hospital, but I have given birth four times. We were usually sent home with the cap the baby wore (you are supposed to leave the shirt/gown and blankets), a pacifier if you want, any remaining formula from the open case, any remaining diapers and wipes from the open packages, any remaining sanitary pads and such from the mother's maternity package, and a diaper bag supplied by a formula company with samples of formula and sometimes other small products (a Huggies diaper, a Playtext bottle, varies depending on which company and what partners have donated items to be included) as well as a lot of coupons. Other than that, we never got "gifts".

Ideas for baby gifts for a baby GIRL?

Q. Two of my sis-in-laws are due in 3 days (September 4th). For each new baby in the family, we send gifts to the mom/baby when the baby is born. One of my SILs is having a girl. She lives nearby and requested clothing for her gifts, so I got her that. My other SIL lives out-of-state though and hasn't told anyone what she's having. If it's a girl, it will be her 4th girl, and if it's a boy, it'll be her 2nd boy (she currently has 3 girls and 1 boy). I have no idea what she wants/needs. What should I get her if it's a GIRL? Having 3 girls, she already has SO many clothes. I have ideas of what to get her if it's a boy, but I'm LOST if it's a girl! She already has tons of burp clothes, etc. since she has 4 kids already. Any thoughts?!
Also, ideas for things that are easy to package up would be great. I'm going to be mailing this! :o)

Answer
You could get them the hooded towels with a matching hand mitt shaped like a duck which is gender neutral, also a lot of babies take pacifiers which should be thrown out after a few months so maybe some of those. Maybe a gift card to a spa for mom so she can relax when she gets home or even a box of chocolate covered strawberries sent from edible arrangements delivered to the hospital, this was my favorite gift I received in the hospital.

What would u buy for your 4 month old baby girl for her first Christmas ?

Keyondra25

Take some photographs of her for later, when she is old enough to understand what's going on around her.

Right now, no gift is appropriate for HER.

is it mandatory for guest to bring gifts to a baby shower?

urdirtylit

my friends are planning my baby shower for my baby girl do they have to bring a gift?

Answer
Is this your first child? If not then that is tacky. Baby showers in general are tacky because you expect others to buy things for your child that should be your obligation. I dont do baby showers, but if you really are hard up for gift just ask that people bring diapers and wipes. those are what you will need the most.

Baby Shower?

kathy

OK all you sweet and smart people.My daughter and I are giving my Grandaughter a baby shower.The problem is we can't think of any games to play. Anyone have any ideas? If so please share.Thanks so much.

Answer
Oh do I have some games.....these are straight off my website's Baby Shower Guide....

Baby Shower Bodysuit Decorating

Bodysuits are one thing the new parents will need lots of!! A great activity is to have guests at the baby shower decorate bodysuits!! Purchase enough bodysuits and fabric paint for each guest attending and set up the "creation station" in a location that will not be needed during the rest of the shower!! (This will allow the bodysuits to dry without them having to be moved.) When the shower is over...offer to wash the custom bodysuits for the new parents, making sure to follow the directions on the fabric paint bottles. For large baby showers....purchase a wide range of sizes so these creations will be a part of baby's first full year!

Suggestion: Cover the table being used with a plastic drop cloth covered with an old tablecloth that is no longer needed (the one with gravy stains on it from last Thanksgiving??). 5 Tubes of 1.25oz Colored Fabric Paint should be enough to decorate 10 Bodysuits (when used sparringly).

_____________

Letters to The Baby
As the guests walk to the table where the gifts are being placed.....have a special station set up on the side of the gift table. At this station have cute baby themed stationary laid out with some nice pens. Beside the stationary have a card out asking each guest to take a few moments to write a note to the new baby. When the guests have finished writing their notes, have a tray or basket provided to place them in. Once all the guests have written their notes....the hostess can then choose one or two, at random, to be chosen for a prize (this could be your shower's door prize). When the shower is over these notes can be placed in a scrapbook or album to be enjoyed by the parents now and by the baby years down the road. Sweet and sentimental and sure to be treasured by the new family!!!

Suggestion: I would advise that these notes not be read in front of the crowd....your guests may not want their letters shared aloud for all to hear. These are their special words to baby and the new parents so allow these words to be just for them!!
________________

Scavenger Hunt For Useful and Unique Baby Items

After the gifts have been opened....surprise the parents with a scavenger hunt for these fun and unique items!! Before the shower you will want to hide these items in rooms that won't be accessed during the party. Have the clues written on parchment paper rolled up and secured with ribbon. The first clue will be handed to the parents (or mommy) the remaining clues will be hidden with each item as it is found.

Item #1: Clue"In the crib you thought baby would sleep.....but there will be many nights you'll be up with baby watching TV. In your comforting arms she (he) will want to be cuddled. Underneath this gift you can both be huddled. There is something for baby and something for mom. Something for daddy....and something for all." (now the hostess will add a clue revealing where the gift is hidden ie: hidden in a room at the top of the stairs, take a sharp left, open the door, it is there!!). Hidden in this room could be a Moses Basket with A Soft Throw blanket and A DVD of a television series mom or dad really likes and a CD to dance with baby to that mom or dad likes!!)

Item #2: Clue: "There are so many items that the book did not heed.....so many items you will not know you need!! At 2 in the morning baby's teeth seem to come....or those irksome gas bubbles that just aren't any fun! A delictable dessert.....not edible at all....has been prepared for your baby....has been prepared for you all. It is full of those items you will definately use....and some extras of items you won't want to lose." (Now the hostess will add a clue revealing where the item is hidden...ie: "Go to the kitchen and open the door that leads to the place where our food is stored." Hidden in the kitchen pantry will be a diaper cake loaded with all those little items mom and dad will need....but not neccesarily think of until baby is fussy at 2 am (gas drops, infant tylenol, teething gel, soothing bedtime lotion, extra pacifiers, extra batteries for the mobile and other baby items, tooth and gum cleaner, all those little neccesities that you can think of that will be used by mom and dad!!)

Item #3: Clue: "This final gift is one for the future....he (she) may write books or learn to tie sutures. A beginning of something that could grow into more, a gift of possibilites....of opening doors." (hostess adds a clue as to the location of this gift.....ie: "On the livingroom mantel there has been hidden an item that is attached to the visable ribbon." (the hostess could have ribbon that appears to just be shower decoration ribbon.....but is, in truth, ribbon cascading down the mantel (blue or pink?) that is actually attached to an envelope that is hidden behind something on the mantel like a picture frame.) What will be found is a savings bond that can be put towards baby's education or future, in general, that will be eligible for baby to cash in upon it's 18th birthday (or the like).

***This is just an idea of a scavenger hunt type of game. Make up your own poems/limericks. Have fun....this will be something truly different at the shower and a great way to gift items to the new mom and dad. IF there are people who couldn't attend the shower because they were otherwise engaged or lived too far away...see if they can maybe contribute some of these items!! Maybe Aunt Ethel and Uncle Gerald in Hobokin can put some money towards the savings bond.....cousin Randy can buy the CD of dad's favorite band's Greatest Hits...and Grandma Elouise can contribute towards the diaper cake!! A great way to have those absent in person....but present in spirit contribute to this celebration!!***

Baby Shower Gift Idea's for guessing right gender? 10 points!?

Queen

I am looking for idea's. Its going to be a gender party, and we need idea's on what to give the people who guess correctly :) The baby will be here around Christmas so it needs to be that theme kinda. Thanks!

Answer
Best Baby shower gift for a gender reveal xmas baby shower:

Three Tier Diaper Cake: decorate it with baby items but rather with Christmas related items. A red ribbon for the first tier, a white ribbon for the second tier and a green ribbon for the final tier. Donât forget to top it off with a Santa plush doll or a Frosty the snow man doll.

Remember, you want to fuse these two events at every corner and with every possibility.

How to have X-Mas cheer in your baby shower:

These two events should never clash or compete with each other instead they should work together and add to each other. How? Well, Iâm going to come out and say it. You should have a gender reveal party. Why you ask, because of the following reasons:

Gender Reveal Parties have no set decoration style. They are gender neutral so it fits perfectly with traditional Christmas decorations and itâs color scheme of red, white and green.

Your Baker can frost the gender revealing cake with red, white and green frosting. This will conceal the pink âits a girlâ cake or the blue âits a boyâ cake at the same time playing to the X-mas color scheme.

It is hard to compete with Christmas so why fight it. Revealing your childâs gender to your friends and loved ones with an X-mas cake will only add to the Christmas cheer.

Gender reveal parties are co-ed friendly and can be adapted to other events and celebrations.

Mix in some Christmas inspired baby shower games, an X-mas decorated diaper cake and baby shower invitations with a bit of Christmas cheer in them and you got yourself a stupendous X-mas baby shower!

Ideas for a gender reveal baby shower?

kristina

How exactly do you play baby shower bingo? And what kind of little prizes should I give out for the winners..And what are some good ideas for finger food at a party?

Answer
For a gender reveal you should have a vanilla cake and dye it blue (boy) or pink (girl). Cover the cake with icing so you can't see the inside. When you cut into the cake...SURPRISE!!! You should give out gift cards or baby bottles with pink or blue Hershey kisses with a copy of the ultrasound picture and a balloon tied to it. Finger food-Goldfish, mini sandwiches, grapes, chips, cookies, etc.

Congrats on the shower!! and GOOD LUCK!!

Trying to buy gift online to send to oz?

Kandle

Please can someone tell me a website that allows you to send new baby gifts to oz from the uk? I already tried amazon
Thx

Answer
Try an Australian baby shop, the sites usually have '.com.au' as their domain name and most will let you buy from an overseas account to have it shipped somewhere in Australia.

If you use http://www.google.com.au/ it will let you select for Australian websites ONLY so a search for the gift you are looking at buying will give you a list of shops that ship to Australia that stock the item.

My mom has been crying for the past 2-3 weeks because we recently moved in to a new house but there's lots of problems in it like leaks, and cracks, and big problems. She's been really stressed out and i dont know what to give her for christmas!!! i want to give her something stress-relieving. something that will bring a smile to her face. PLEASE HELP!

Answer
mom's love it when their kids write and tell them how much they love or admire them, and I don't mean just signing a card that say's I love you mom. write it like you would a school essay, what you admire and love about her, and give it to her with a little gift like a necklace or a braclet, she will love it and cherish it. forever.

what should I get my mom for mother's day?

Q. Okay so my mom is really stressed out and I'm not sure what I should get her..I was thinking something like a day at the spa? She's one of those types of moms that likes to feel "relaxed" what should I get her?

Answer
My mom likes to cook so I went to Fresh Market and got her some unique ingredients to make up recipes. Does she have a hobby? You can never go wrong with a massage gift certificate.

Baby Shower gifts? for father?

Robert

My best buddy that Ive known since junior high - 9 years now - is having a baby. He invited me to his baby shower, I dont know what to get him and his wife. My gf was thinking about getting them a diaper bag and stuff it with items, I wanna get something un-expected, and humorous. Maybe something they will use for a long time, I dont know... no diaper cakes please. Thanks in advance.

Answer
As a mother who had a baby shower, and then a baby... I GREATLY appreciated all the things we were actually going to USE. Such as diapers, diapers, diapers. And clothes too! I didn't so much appreciate receiving newborn sizes as I did sizes 0-3 months because my son was already 8lbs 4oz at birth and barely fit into "newborn".

Also regular baby blankets and receiving blankets were a handy gift that I used OFTEN. And still do. Your girlfriend's idea of a diaper bag stuffed with items is a really good idea!

Baby shower?

Alibigirl

My son and his wife are expecting in January and live 8 hours away. I want to do an absentee baby shower then take the gifts to them at the shower they will have in their hometown in a couple months. How should my invitations be worded to not sound tacky. They are unable to come home to do a shower due to not being able to get time off. I want to do something nice for them.

Answer

Please suggest the best gift i can present to a new born baby girl in India?

dinesh k

Answer
Diaper....lots and lots of diaper of different size ranges and wipes. You can never have too many. Clothes but not too many cause they grow quickly. Whiles it's a new born they don't really require too much. Just to be kept warm and feed. When they get older you start to need teether and highchairs and toys. Newborns normal are gifts like keep sakes, memory book and photo album which are not really for the child.

HELP...I need help finding a proper gift for baby?

Cindy Masc

I have just met my new Indian (from India) neighbors who have a 6 week old baby. I want to give them something special for their new addition. Is there an appropriate gift to give them? Maybe something just for the mother? Is that ok to do something just for the mom or do I have to give each family member a gift? Please give me some advice or guide me where I could find information for the family.

Answer
I don't think that you need to give the whole family something. But giving something to the mom or the baby would be really nice. I'll bet she'd love it if you invited her over for lunch or coffee or something. You could take her a flowering plant to put in her yard. A rose bush to commemorate her new baby, etc. Or you could take her a set of bath oils and tell her you'll watch the baby for a while while she gets to bathe and take a nap. I'm sure anything you come up with will be appreciated. I think that your thoughtfulness is going to reward you with a new friendship.

Baby Shower Moms to Be - Gifts - What would you rather?

J & R Sequ

Would you rather rec'v cash, gift card or baby clothes/diapers etc.
I had a few in the past and was happy with either. I rec'd was too many < 12 mos. clothing I didn't even get a chance to use. Way too many pacifiers and bibs too. It is a 40yr old first time mom, what would you suggest? I am way out in the country so limited to the stores, I have a grocery and a drug store.

Answer
With twins, I was thankful for whatever we received . . . even hand-me-downs! As to what was most useful, gift cards!!! The gift cards were great! The problem with cash is that it is so easy to blow it on something else - like groceries (I know you need them but it is not "really" for the baby as much) . . . the gift cards are great for the things that you did not receive at your shower, what you suddenly realize that you need etc . . .

Best wishes!

Moms! Which baby blanket should I give as a gift ?

benzgirl

A friend of mine just had a baby girl and I'm torn between the two blankets, she is 25. Thank you so much for your time!

Barefoot Dreams: (pink or brown)
http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/2905201/0~2379292~2379293~6008493~6008505?mediumthumbnail=Y&origin=category&searchtype=&pbo=6008505&P=1

or.....

Little Giraffe

http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/2887501/0~2379292~2379293~6008493~6008505?mediumthumbnail=Y&origin=category&searchtype=&pbo=6008505&P=1
P.S.
The Barefoot Dreams blanket has a very cute little saying on it but the Little Giraffe one is softer yet plain.

Answer
Honestly, I got some blankets like that as gifts for my baby and I find them to be completely useless. You can't put them in the crib, they are too thick for swaddling, they are kind of small to put on the floor for the baby to lay on (that's the only real use I found for them, other than decorative). If I was buying the gift, I would want to buy something useful like a soft carrier/sling (http://www.mobywrap.com/), a breastfeeding kit (http://www.nursingmothersupplies.com/html/breastfeedingkits.htm) or pillow (http://www.mybrestfriend.com/), an activity gym (http://www.tinylove.com/toy.aspx?toyId=32) or a Halo Sleep Sack (https://www.halosleep.com/). Sorry, I know that's not the question that you asked, but I just thought you might want a mother's opinion.

Swaddle blankets are also a very good idea. Maybe you could find some that would be very cute too. http://www.swaddledesigns.com/products.html

Baby shower.....what?

taryntino

I will have to throw a baby shower for a good friend of mine some months from now. I've never been to one and I know nothing about them. Someone told me there were games involved.
I'm looking for a clear idea of what its about. What will people expect me to do? I assume drinking is inappropriate, right? Help me out, Im not much for planning social events and I am definately not a baby person.
She's a good friend and I really want to make this not lame for her.

Answer
Okay, baby showers. Yes they are mostly about the games. That and the gifts. Everyone brings a gift for the baby. You go and drink punch and have little snacks.. like any reception type thing. Then you play these games that have to deal with babies. There are little gifts and prizes for those who win(small little things for a girl... becuase only girls come to baby showers.. such as little lotions, maybe decorated box, perfume.. that type of thing.) Games that i have seen done are:

The Word Game: First, everyone has a little token. Whether it be a litle plastic wring, a sticker, a little tiny plastic pacifier on a necklace.. doesnt matter. The goal of the game is not to say the word "baby" (or whatever word you pick) for the whole shower.. which is kinda fun. But when someone hears you say the word, they get to take your token. Then at the end of hte shower, whoever has the most tokens, wins.

The Baby Food Tester: For this game you need to go out and buy little jars of baby food. Probably the ones that only have one thing in them. Not the meals. You will take them either out of the jars, or take off the labels, so that people dont know what they are. Everyone will sit in a circle and try to figure out which flavors each one is.. whether by tasting it(you might need little sample spoons or something), smelling it, or just looking. Whatever. Whoever has the most correct wins.

The Diaper Game : haha. i loved this one, but all of my sisters thought it was disgusting. But what it is, you need soem diapers, all different kinds of chocolate bars and a microwave. Haha, you smush up the candy bar in the diaper.. melt it a little and everything, make it look authentic. lol... and then everyone takes turns smelling it or looking at it and trying to figure out what type of bar it is.. use snickers, and milky ways, and take 5 and whatevaer other kind of chocolate bar. This is hilarious. Some people refuse to put their noses up to it. Anyway, whoever has the most right, wins.

The Bottle Game: Youll need bottles and some kind of juice. For this one you will give everyone who wants to do it a bottle half full or less (cuz this takes FOREVER if you do more) and have them race to see who can finish off the bottle fastest. Only drinking from it.

The Belly Guesser: you have everyone try to figure out how many squares of toilet paper it would take to get around the pregnant ladies belly. This one is funny becuase EVERYONE guess to low. .. they dont want any hurt feelings. lol. But yeah, you actually do it to her afterwards, and whoever is the closest wins.

How Many in the Jar: You put a bunch of whatever in a jar(maybe diaper pins, pacifiers, something babyish) and have everyone guess how many there are. Once again, whoever is closest wins.

Okay, so those are just some of the games that i remember. But you dont have to use all of them. A baby shower isnt supposed to have a BUNCH of games over and over agian. You mostly just sit around, chilling out and snacking, everyone talking.. and then you play a coupel games in between.. some people will say that they dont want to play, and thats fine.

Then after that you will spend a long time opening all the gifts and oohing and aahhing with each other. Their pretty much just socializing.

One little tip though, get more than one prize for each game you decide to play.. becuase there is a definite posibility for ties. Just in case, you know?

Alrighty, well i just wrote ALOT and i hope that it helped you. If you need anymore help planning the shower i would love to give more advice. You can go ahead and email me over this. And good luck!

*edit*
Oh, and i was looking at that website and i forgot about one.. This one is super super awesome. That baby book idea. You have a book that each person who comes can write some kind of advice on there. Its a great thing for a new mom. Especially when there are older more knowing guests there, such as friends of the mom or something.

A question about registering for gifts for baby showers?

Someonesmo

How many places should I register? What type of things does one register for? How many items should I register for? Do I register for the bigger price items too? When I had my first baby 7 years ago, I was a older teen mom and I did it all on my own with either hand me downs or garage sale stuff. Now that I am having one the right way (being married and all that jazz), my family and friends are having a shower and suggesting that I register. My family says one thing, but I thinking another.

Twins: Does anyone have advice for an expecting twins mom and dad?

Rosey G

Suggestions for anything and everything will be appreciated. The twins are one boy and one girl.

Thank you in advance.

Answer
My aunt had twins. It was tough but the boys are now 10 years old and amazing kids!! Main thing-be honest with each other. If you are tired-tell your spouse. If you are stressed-do not take it out on the children. Take it out on the laundry. :) Help each other-If mom was home all day with the twins-dad should tell mom to go enjoy a glass of wine while he takes care of the twins.
ACCEPT ALL HELP OFFERED TO YOU!!!
My mom and my great grandma flew to Florida to help my aunt and uncle with the twins and my aunt and uncle said that was the best gift anyone could have given.

I'm not trying to scare you. Children are a blessing.

What do u think would make a good christmas gift??

NeverEverS

I need help to find a great gift. Any ideas?

Answer
Hmmm, well I personally like homemade gifts because I know that they took time. And time is always a great gift. Since you weren't all too specific I'll just put a ton of ideas out there.
For Men: If they are athletic a gift card to a sports store like Scheels is perfect. Or a handyman sort of guy how about an organizer for all the tools. Or even some more nice tools. If he is more intelectual, maybe a brain teaser book, or a Sudoku, or a book by his favourite author. A computer geek? How about a flash drive or decorate a mousepad for him.
For Women: If she is the soccer-mom offer one of your Saturdays to take her place and let her go shopping. A cooker, new cooking pan or cookie sheet. Or even you could make a can with all the ingrediants for her favourite kinda of cookie. Lotion, journals, and candles are always good too. And they can always not just be bought but personalized with decopauge or other things.
For Children: if you can quilt that would be a great gift for a child. They may just put it on their bed now when they are young but when they get older they will treasure it. If you can't quilt (like me) then get them a coin bank so that they can save up for whatever toy they wish.
Teens: I am a teen girl so have more ideas for that category than guys. For girls I would suggest notebooks or journals. If she doesn't journal then still get her one because it is a great thing to start. Gas gift cards is perfect for a guy or girl. Girls would also enjoy nail polish or body wash, cute pajama bottoms, or a purse. If they are athletic, possibly a gift card to a local sports store, or tickets to a game. Or if they play tennis, a tennis racket, ect. For guys if they are athletic do the same as you would for a girl. I really don't know what else they would like. Food. All guys like food.

I hope that I have given you some ideas. And, if worse comes to worse don't forget about gift cards!

Is the Chrysler Pacifica a mom car?

IDream17

My dad is thinking about buying my uncle's Pacifica. It would more than likely be my car (as a grad gift) and I'm a senior in high school. Is too much of a soccer mom car?

Answer
for a 7 passenger car, the pacifica is among the coolest looking out there.
it's not a minivan which makes it much cooler than other cars. now if you are worried about having a soccer mom car, all that changes in college. if you can take more friends with you in your car, you have the better car. don't worry about being judged because all that stuff is just in high school. in college and just life in general you'll find that people are much less judgmental than you may think. there are going to be people with cooler stuff and people with less cool stuff there's nothing wrong with that.
