Im having a hard time deciding if I should have a 2nd baby shower. My best friend and mom threw my 1st one (3 years ago), which im greatful for. SInce then Ive moved twice and over the years ive donate alot of things and stuff ended up broken/lost so in the end, I have NOTHING from my first shower. Im not expecting large gifts like a crib or anything but it would be nice to celebrate and get some gifts to help out a little. My concern in my daughters 3rd birthday is in June, Which we always have a huge party for, and since my baby is due in September I wanted (If I can decide) my 2nd shower in July/August. But I feel horrible asking people to buy my daughter a gift, then a month later my unborn baby. ALOT of my friends are telling me to have one, but Im having mized emotions about it. So let me know what you think.. and Thank You!
Answer
I did not. I felt as if between wedding gifts one year and baby shower gifts a year and a half later, we had enough parties thrown for us and enough gifts received. And let me tell you, even when you don't have a shower for your second, people will STILL give you gifts. We had a girl first and a boy second, and people still sent outfits, toys, etc.
Our children also had Christenings which they got money and outfits for. Basically I felt partied out!

17 gifts and one BIG gift?
captured
My boyfriend is turning 18 in a few days.
He has never had a birthday party, and he didn't have that great of a childhood.
So I wanted to get him 17 gifts, like something you would get someone turning one for the first gift, and so on.
And then I wanted to get ONE big gift for his 18th.
(I'm already throwing him a surprise party)
But I need ideas for the gifts.
Any ideas what you would get a boy turning:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
7.
8.
9.
10.
11.
12.
13.
14.
15.
16.
17.
and then 18?
He likes teddy bears, music(making it and listening to it), sports cars, comedic stuff, stuff like that.
Any ideas?
I want the first 17 gifts to be cute, but inexpensive
Because of the party I have a very limited budget, at the most $25 for all 17 gifts.
Homemade ideas would be cute too.
Answer
Try yard sales or thrift stores for the first 9 years. Baby toys, teddy bear, Thomas the tank engine, old rusty trike, baby's first Christmas ornament, boy scout tie, lunch box with spiderman on it, butterfinger candy bar so he can be like Bart Simpson, matchbox car.
9-14 big boy things like pocket knife, old skateboard, pimple cream.
15-17 disposable razor, fishing lure, mushy CD from long ago, 16th will be something for cars like a map. 17 can be a poster of a girl.
