Sweet Baby Gifts

I helping plan my own baby shower and I wanted to make baskets as some of the presents you could win for the games. Im having a baby boy. So far I’ll make a ‘about to pop’ basket filled with pop, popcorn, pop rocks,ect and another basket ‘bun in the oven’ and I’ll try to find cute cinnamon bun things or and what not. Does anybody have any other good ideas?

You might find an idea from some of the themes :

one of my co-workers is having a baby shower today and i dont have a gift yet. she changed the date at the last minute on us wen i had other stuff planned for today. but im kinda strapped for cash as well and i need to do my christmas shopping for my family while i still have some money left. this co-worker and i arent really close..she would ignore me sometime wen i would try to talk to her..i remember i asked her for a soda and she just ignored me and gave it to someone else..she even insulted my boyfriend’s brohter and called him a psycho wen he wasnt. idk y she evven invited me to her shower…i think its cause we work together we both feel obligated: she feels obligated to invite me and i feel like i have to go…i dont even wanna go cause of how she’s been acting towards me lately. but wat i had initally planned on doing since i couldnt get her anything today, was suprise her with a gift basket before i went on vacation. i was gonna get her a pink tub (its a girl) and fill it with little stuff like diapers and wipes and clothes. i just couldnt afford to get her anything now…

is it bad to show up without a gift?

I would just not go at all.

My best friends mother who is like my second mom is having a little girl in February. I want to start on a basket now but besides diapers what are some other things that will come in handy?

A bar of Dove soap (my pediatrician says it is the BEST thing to wash babies with, especially in winter because it moisturizes the skin).

Some baby wash cloths.

A hooded towel.

Hair accessories- I really like the nylon headbands with the little loop that you can clip hair barrettes to (since many girls do not have enough hair even for the velcro clips).

Baby bibs- there are some really cute ones!

Socks/booties.

Hats/bonnets.

Feeding supplies- I like the mesh feeders. They help with teething (put ice or frozen grapes, etc. in it) and you can introduce the baby to other foods, such as meat, earlier because they can try it without choking.

Small board books- a book store will have a good selection. The Kissing Hand, Love You Forever, Guess How Much I Love You are several I can recommend off-handedly.

A cute picture frame or album (Kohls has some cute ones).

Germ X/Purell that can attach to the carseat/stroller (so hands can easily be sanitized prior to touching baby).

A mosquito net for the carseat/stroller- these are handy not only for keeping mosquitos from baby, but keeping strangers from touching in public!

Hope these ideas help!

I want to get my cousin a good gift for her baby shower. Yea she has a registry, but I don’t want to get her something that she is not going to be surprised at. So what are some of the best gifts other mothers have gotten for their baby showers? Any ideas of what I could do?

If she is a first time mom give her practical things. She will probably get lots of tiny clothes, so if you want to go in that direction get her something size 12 months or bigger because she will get less big sizes and those clothes will last longer.
I looooved my Bumbo chair for both my kids. Totally awesome!! It helps babies as young as 3 months sit up.
Another option is to get an infant bathtub and fill it will all sorts of cute washcloths, towels, lotions, babywash, bath toys, etc.
You can also give her a spa gift certificate so she can get a pedicure or prenatal massage. I got one of each when I was pregnant and it was an awesome unexpected treat.

Okay Im making a gift basket to raffle off at my baby shower, i want it to be real nice. But since its a male and female baby shower, the gift basket has to be unisex, what can go inside ?

Do a movie theme……

Gift card for a movie theater
DVD
Microwavable popcorn
Milk duds
Junior Mints
Licorice

Or do a care package of everyday things……

Body wash
Hand soap
Toothpaste
Deodorants

Another idea is a fruit basket or a nut tray

Or gift cards to various restaurants

My aunt is having a baby girl, and for her baby shower i want to put together some things in it what should i add. i’m looking for things for the mom and baby..

I love making gift baskets for showers! Here’s a few ideas..

For baby:

1) Onesies/outfits.
2) Bath time stuff (baby shampoo, baby lotion, etc).
3) Diapers and wipes.
4) Teething rings.
5) Newborn pacifiers.
6) Rattles/infant toys.
7) Baby blanket.
Baby first aid kit.
9) Boppy Pillow.
10) Infant head positioner (for carseat).

For mom:

1) Gift cards (to places like Starbucks, book stores, etc).
2) Nursing bra pads (if she’s going to breastfeed).
3) What To Expect The First Year (the book).
4) The Rookie Moms Handbook (book).
5) Diaper bag.
6) Baby sling/baby carrier.
7) Baby Memory Book

She and her husband are a little country. I have already made the baby a blanket and want to do a gift basket for the baby but Im not to sure what to put in it, plus i wanted to find some cute country baby cloths but not sure where to look. The baby shower is Saturday please help me

Some things that I liked were

swaddle designs swaddling blankets - they are so easy to swaddle with, I always have one handy in the car to block the rain on rainy days or if my son’s legs get cold (he’s 10 mos now)
You could put baby soap, lotion, diapers, wipes, and diaper rash creme in the gift basket.
My fav baby clothes are from Gap, but you have to get them at the right time when they are on sale
Car seat toys - they hang from the car seat handle for the baby to play with or watch - my son has bugs

Also, any ideas for a cute guest sign in sheet/book/something?
(Baby is a girl, not a themed shower)

My cousin is in charge of games & has already made a basket that can be used as a decoration, game, and gift. I’m in charge of decorations. The guest of honor likes practical, simple, etc. Any ideas??

Thanks!
Something that can be made/ purchased in a matter of 3 days, I should add.

How about cute little photo frames?

Ok so Im in college and in my major we are like an extended family because we all work together to put on plays (production design). Well one of the girls is pregnant and is having an early baby shower with all the production design people before we all leave for summer/ graduation (she is due right before school starts back up). So we are having this big casual baby shower in a park near by. The thing is … i have NO IDEA on what to get her. She hasnt said what she is having yet so i was thinking animals and gender neutral colors (yellow green etc), and we also dont know her extreemly well personally… only briefly met her husband and dont know what she is looking for style wise. So I was wondering what type of stuff I should get her. I was thinking of pooling some money together with friends in the same spot as me and putting together a baby gift basket with baby towels, spit up blankets, pacifiers, rattles, a stuffed bear or something.. little stuff like that.. stuff we KNOW she will need. But is that too cheap and thoughtless? because we love her like a sister we just havent had the chance to really talk about our lives you know…

I think is better if you get her stuff like onesies, socks and diapers. These are things she’ll need and you don’t have to worry about the style. There are also plenty of creative ways to make these things look great (not like you just grabbed them at the mall). You can make a diaper cake, socks cupcakes, clothes bouquets and stuff like that.

its the 2nd baby shower i’ve ever been too! [ i'm 19, and she's 18]
i don’t want to spend over 20$ and least as possible! today i got her a little biggy pank with blue and green decorations for baby. anyone have any cheap ideas? that i could possibly put in a little basket all together? im going to go to a consignment shop and get a handful of clothes because theyre cheap [she doesn't mind that theyre used] and maybe add some lotion and soap and stuff..
any ideas? though? homemade, or anythingg?

thanks!

I made a diper cake real cheap with store brand dipers size 1 it was 7 bucks for the diapers at walmart then a few sample size things they were 2 for a 1$ at walmart

wrap the diapers in a circle then use a psc of ribbon to tie it all togther then use thin ribbon to tie the stuff on. you can look up better directions online
