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?

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.
