Sweet Baby Gifts

she doesnt know what shes having, she wants it to be a surprise,

what can I make for her and her baby?

Depends on what crafts you like.

If you knit, baby booties or little thumbless mittens are sweet

Or if you sew you could make a little quilt or maybe a wall hanging w/animals on it or something.

i have been invited for baby shower…and would like to see what gift should i take there? Any help/hints would be useful…

Etsy has some cute handmade gifts. Specifically, I got the organic Sam hat from this person’s store: http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=6422389&order=&section_id=&page=1

It’s soft and looks adorable on my friend’s baby. If you are close friends or relatives, you may want to get something more expensive than a hat, though. I also saw and Ipood tshirt that made me crack up laughing (but I don’t remember where I saw it).

My 5 year old son recently told me he’s mad at me because I’m replacing him. It broke my heart to hear him say that. I’m currently 35 weeks pregnant with my daughter and I wanted to get him a gift from the baby to show him he’s not being replaced. Only problem is I have no clue what.

Can anyone give me some ideas on what would be a good gift for big brother from baby sister?

Thanks!

be advised that consumerism is NOT sustainable

also a gift of material things can NOT replace
genuine concern and respect, he needs to know
that you are still concerned about him and you care.
don’t smother him with material gifts, just give him
your genuine respect and he will know.

Thanks in advance for the answers.

Being a godmother is no always just about gifts. Its nice but you just be there for her, give your friend all the support she needs. That`s the best gift you can give,if you still feel the need to buy something i would suggest depending on what you want to spend, honestly diapers wipes etc. Stuff baby will need for sure. Hope that help.

and handed it to me, the probelm is i want to send each of them a thank you note but i don’t know who got what so how would I say thank you for the……, when i don;t know who got what for me ? has anybody ever been in a similar situation ? please help.

Yes, that happened to me too. But here’s the deal: they are the ones who put the gifts in one bag, right? Therefore, there’s no reason for them to expect you to know who gave you what. You do owe them each a separate thank-you note, but unless you’re comfortable asking who gave what, you will just need to do a general thank-you and mention something else like how you appreciate them thinking of you or how it means a lot that they’ve been there for you during your pregnancy. Mention something specific that each person has DONE or MEANT to you rather than listing the merchandise they gave you. A person likes to know that THEY mean something to you and not the amount of money they spent. They aren’t going to analyze the card - trust me. They will read it, register in their head that you sent it, and then move on to other things. That said, however, DO NOT write the exact same thing on each friend’s card. Congrats on the baby, hon!!!

My best buddy that Ive known since junior high - 9 years now - is having a baby. He invited me to his baby shower, I dont know what to get him and his wife. My gf was thinking about getting them a diaper bag and stuff it with items, I wanna get something un-expected, and humorous. Maybe something they will use for a long time, I dont know… no diaper cakes please. Thanks in advance.

As a mother who had a baby shower, and then a baby… I GREATLY appreciated all the things we were actually going to USE. Such as diapers, diapers, diapers. And clothes too! I didn’t so much appreciate receiving newborn sizes as I did sizes 0-3 months because my son was already 8lbs 4oz at birth and barely fit into "newborn".

Also regular baby blankets and receiving blankets were a handy gift that I used OFTEN. And still do. Your girlfriend’s idea of a diaper bag stuffed with items is a really good idea!

They already have 2 boys, so I’m looking for something special for a girl.

How about a little silver locket on a chain? Or you could do a small charm bracelet that she can add to with all of her milestones. They make them in children’s sizes. I have 2 girls and I love the little bracelets and necklaces that they got when they were babies.

I have to order a gift for an expecting grandparent…What’s a good gift?

I’ve seen Grandparents Memory books that the grandparents fill out with memories and stories about themselves and then gives to the child. I know I would LOVE to have a book like that from my grandma! But they didn’t exist way back when, and she’s gone now.

What are your favorite that you’ve seen or received or unique ideas that you’ve seen at showers?

you want to give guests cute but useful game prizes but not too expensive. some popular items are votive candles, hand lotions, hand soaps, bath salts, candy, chocolate, teas, coffee, manicure sets, pens, notebooks, magnates and so on

What is a good gift to give for a baby’s Catholic baptism? Recently when I went to my boyfriend’s Godson’s baptism, the presents consisted of four rosaries, two crosses (plus a crucifix), a few bible and saint books, and at least three stuffed animals that pray. What can I get my best friend’s baby for his Baptism this weekend that is not the same old cliche Baptism gift??? PLEASE HELP.

There is a store called "Things Remember" that engraves. If there is one close to you, they have great gifts, like blankets and all sorts of things. Find something you like and have it engraved with his name and the date of his Baptism.
