What are some inexpensive ideas for gifts that are unique and still something people like, also other than gift cards
Answer
I just had my baby shower this pass weekend and all i did was went to the dollar store and got a whole bunch of things and put little gift baskets together. They all seem to like them. I also made candle holders by buying wine glasses and flowers and putting flowers in the bottom of the glass and gluing foil to the bottom of the glass to keep the flowers in and then glued a candle on top bottom part of the glass, then tied ribbon around the bottom of the glass. These were only decor purpose, but everyone loved them.

ok so you have to have the famous clothes pin game...everyone gets a clothes pin when they arrive, you can do 2 ways, either - anyone who says baby can have their pin stolen or - anyone who crosses their arms or legs can have their pins stolen...who ever gets the most pins towards the end of the shower wins a prize..ppl really battle this one out! lol
ok so you can make a scavenger hunt and give them a few minutes to find as many items, one with most points wins (each item one point...for ex. "movie tickets" -someone has 5 in their purse its 5 points) and you HAVE to have your purse with you...you can't leave to go get it!! we had all kinds of random stuff, and everyone had a blast..you wouldn't believe what ppl have in their purse lol.
next, get ping pong balls...and regular balloons. STick the pingpong balls inthe balloon (they will stretch) when you are about to play the game pass out each, have the players blow up their pingpong ball filled balloons and DO NOT TIE THEM! let the balloon fall to the bottom which will lock the air in...game is to have guest try to deliever the baby...(get out the ball).. each person will have to continue to squeeze the balloon till the ball pops out...the balloons will NOT pop unless someone purposly pops it...we did this and had no poping of balloons, it was so funny, took time and balls were popping out everywhere...whoever pops out the baby first wins
the black bag game- fill a bag with multiple items, some to do with babies and some not...tell everyone they have 10-15 seconds to feel inside the bag without looking, then write down all the items they can remember feeling...person to guess the most right wins.. i put some weird things like a pinecone and even a mcdonalds toy doll...as well as wipes, bottle cleaner ext...it was funny to see their guesses!
last one i got for you...my fav!! -- take index cards, fill out on the plain side numbers 1-(however many guest) then pass them out...on the lined side have guest take 2 minutes to write their advice they would give your baby at that age (the number on the front of the card)...they can put their names on it, or everyone can guess who it was...after the 2 minutes collect all the cards, have the mommy2be read them aloud...you will die laughing at some things ppl put... we did from age 1-40...it was insane...everyone said that was the funnest thing they ever did, and its a huge ice breaker...takes about 15 minutes to read the cards or so...
hope you liked some...i had a awesome shower!! everyone told me it was their fav. shower theyve been too, we laughed i think the whole time...
o just also a idea, instead of cake we made cupcakes, and bought a cupcake "tree stand" put green icing on the cupcakes and topped them with toy jungle animals we found for $0.25 cents each at a near by partycity store...instead of like $70-100 on a cake we spent just $40 and i put a huge fish bowl dish with a note saying to please leave the toys for the baby...so i got to keep all the jungle animal toys for him to play with when he is old enough...and the cupcake tree was amazing looking and took no time at all.
and for gifts for games my sister went to sears/jcpennies/dillards stores and checked in the clearance items, she found a boxed set of different size cherry oak wood picture frames set of 12 for like $15 she then found some gorgous glass boxed candles with great scents for $2.00, she went to the dollar store got gift bags and made 6 gift bags each with a medium candle and a frame...and i got to keep 6 frames for myself for the baby room... she spent like $30 something on all the gifts and everyone was amazed at them, they were nice and not just some random junky lil gifts that no one really wanted...and it was not expensive...$30 may sound like alot but if you think about it, some of these ppl spend over $100 on baby stuff for you..so its a nice return to them...
goodluck!! have fun!
