gift for baby handmade image
NickyWorth
Is there some handmade gift or unique gadget that you wish someone would create to make the lives of those of us with small children a little easier.
For example: better diaper bags, organic burp cloths...etc.
You are not limited to my examples....please share your perspective!

they need to make a thing that is warm and moves up and down to simulate breathing -- my son falls asleep all the time on me and when I put him down he wakes up. I'd put him on the warm breathy thingy and he'd stay asleep. that's my magical invention, I'll let you know when it's in stores ;)

How much should I spend on a wedding gift for a distant relative?
J L
Factoring the following:
1) I just had a baby so money is tight.
2) We're traveling to the wedding which is a bit costly.
3) My husband, baby and I will be attending.
4) We're not close with the bride or groom.
Any thoughts?
Thanks.

There should NEVER be a price "limit" on a gift of any sort. It can be as expensive or "thrifty" as you desire. The recipient should never belittle any gift giver's thoughtfulness!!
And THOUGHTFULNESS is the KEY, not expense!
I find that giving the couple the "table accoutrements" of entertaining is usually something they do NOT have, that others rarely give them, and has a price range that can fit most any budget. The items I am referring to are such:
--- Candeholders
--- Napkin rings
--- Place mats
--- Cloth Napkins
--- Hot pads/trays (the item that protects the table from a hot dish!)
See? Your local thrift shop can be a great source of these items and many times in very great shape! And if you need to ship the gift, things like napkin rings and place mats can be found which are unbreakable... you know, wooden napkin rings. Place mats can even be HANDMADE! They are simply a rectangle of cloth that is hemmed!!! How difficult can THAT be???
GOOD LUCK and don't forget to wish the happy couple many years of happiness, love, joy, and God's blessings!
Have a polite day.
