Sweet Baby Gifts

I have a female friend who has a forced abortion, so I wrote 20 pages in a custom notebook for her flled with Baby Loss poems, quotes, and words of comfort to help her… How do you think she’ll like it?

I would be upset if I got that even though your doing it out of the kindness of your heart. It may not be a good idea to give to her. Try something else, it may help her feel better if it was not to do with babies and the loss of them x

It’s close to Christmas and I’m shopping for my dads gift. He used to have a Daytona Dyna Glide that was his baby. He spent years changing every little detail on this bike to make it everything he ever dreamed of. Needless to say it was a bad a** bike. Unfortunately as us kids got older he couldn’t find the time to enjoy this beauty like it should be and my mom made him sell it. He hasn’t ever forgotten his baby and I’d like to have a model Harley made of his bike so he can have the next best thing to his old bike back. If anyone knows of someone who can do this I’d be over joyed. Please help.

Where do you live?

So I’ve been with my boyfriend for a year. For his first birthday I got him CK pj’s, colonge, a card and his favourite kind of chocolate for his birthday. This year, now that I know him better, I’m thinking of getting him a manchester united jersey (he’s a huge fan) and some custom made cookies with edible images of him as a baby, toddler, teen, and now. We’ll also probably end up going out for dinner. Is this a good birthday gift for a 21 year old guy?

Yes, It’s a great birthday gift! It comes from the heart, and that’s all that matters. <3

I wanted to make my baby portrait in oil on canvas to give to husband memorable gift on Christmas.
pls someone suggest a good art site to shop online.

You can check out a source I used for a painting of a photo portrait for my boyfriend birthday.
They made several free preview samples of altered photos for my consideration. All of them were perfect. I chose one of them I liked the most and order a canvas stretched print. That was awesome! My boyfriend was very, very touched and pleased.
It’s a great site to create a really personalized photo gifts for someone special in your life!

Here is where you can find something:

I am getting an engraved wooden block. There are lots of options for engravings on the various sides, one of which is a cross with the phrase "Baptized in Christ." The parents are devout Catholics, and I know the baby was baptized shortly after birth. I am not Catholic and don’t know much about the customs, etc. Only that the parents consider their faith their number one priority.
Would this engraving be something devout Catholic parents would consider appropriate and appreciate? I don’t want to come right out and ask, I want this gift to be a surprise. However, I don’t want to make a faux pas, if this is not quite right for a first birthday gift. It’s expensive, non-returnable (unless damaged or incorrectly engraved), and I want it to be spot-on, perfect, and memorable.
I am getting the baby’s name, first birthday, etc. on the other sides, I just need to select one more design for the remaining side.
I will appreciate serious answers from Catholic parents, and others who know what they are talking about. Thank you, my P&S friends!

That would absolutely be a very appropriate gift. A very thoughtful one at that! There is nothing wrong with the phrase "Baptized in Christ" I’m sure the parents will appreciate the religious aspect of the gift.

Edit: Everyone else is saying that it does not matter because the baby will not remember, but the parents will keep the gift, and since it is such a special one, the child will still be able to appreciate it later in life. Like a keepsake.

I would like to throw my own baby shower but i wonder if is that kinda sorta…. tacky??? I dont want people thinking it’s just for the gifts so I was thinking maybe renting a venue, have a big party with decorations i make myself,have custom made things like invitations and centerpieces, order catering and maybe rent the venue with a bar. Do you think this is right or should i just forget about it? No ones offered to throw one for since i just moved to a different state (my husband’s friends and live here tho) Plzzz share your opinions

I’m probably going to receive some thumbs down but oh well, it is MY opinion.
I personally don’t see anything wrong with you wanting to throw yourself a baby shower because: a) you mentioned you have just moved b) you mentioned you are not looking for gifts c) its a way for you to celebrate your baby being born. Even though people thinks it is tacky for you to throw your own shower, who would know you did all the work. I wouldn’t give a rat’s @ss on who did the shower because its honestly not about that. If you want to do it yourself then go for it. It’s not like the whole community of Y!A is gonna be there to judge.

I always make my 19 year old girlfriend a custom card, cause she likes them and I like putting time into my gifts. But, i feel i need to put in something more than a card.

Any Ideas? So far I know she likes: math, books, math books, some movies, school, and babies @_@

Maybe you should make her a card? I’m sure you already know her favorite smells,food,drink,makeup ect. why don’t you find a nice box or basket buy some of her favorite things wrap them up nicely?

If yes, which one do you like best?

I think they’re cute, and I like the third ones the best. However, I don’t really like junky party favors, and decorative soap kinda falls into that category. It’s because I’m terribly sentimental and I’d keep that baby carriage soap in a miscellaneous drawer til it was so chipped and dusty I didn’t know what it was, lol. and this would be included in a mountain of other similar items. I suggest you skip the favors, but if you must have them, put them in a bowl with a note for guests to take as many as they want.

I need your opinion on the gifts we are thinking about getting our daughter for her first birthday

*A nice gold locket for her first piece of jewelry (I know she won’t care about it much now, but it will be nice later on)

*A custom-made toy box with her name and our ponies painted on it (like in a field with rainbows and stuff) In the box will be some fun and interactive toys.

Sound good?

There are many product related with babies and you can gift them to someone. Foe example baby soft toys, baby gift set, baby blanket, baby clothes, baby bed set and many more.

Im throwing a baby shower for my sister on 11/07. The lil boy is due 12/22 and has 2 closets full of clothes already and over 50 pair of shoes…..all she really needs is basics like diapers, baby wash and lotion, wash clothes and infant meds (tylenol and mylacon drops ect.)

I was it to be the most awesome shower ever and I want her to be wowed by my gift. I have already got her some "my aunt" bibs and made her a custom fleece knot blanket, and will include some bath goodies and other things mentioned above.

i just want to get your opinion on what the best ever baby shower gifts are? something unique you gifted or receivedd.

and any really cool baby shower activities while you’re at it!
Diaper Cakes! People go crazy for them and they are adorable! They take a little time to make, but aren’t very hard. You start with a diaper waist, roll from the waist down and secure it with a clear rubberband (one for hair). Repeat until you’ve rolled 60-80 diapers, depending on size. Start with the top layer and surround some kind of baby product (I use powder) with about 6 diapers to make it round. Then construct the next layers the same way. Hold each layer in place with a larger rubberband. I always like to take receiving blankets and cover the outside and tie with ribbon. Then you can tie other items like wash clothes (I always make angels out of them!) or bibs or meds…
