Sweet Baby Gifts

I am creating a basket for an upcoming baby shower and I am looking for Jungle Theme or Safari themed baby gifts. I would really prefer handmade or unique item, I really want the basket to be special, it is for a close friend of mine. Suggestions?

Baby Whatknots sells Jungle stuff, pacifier clips, blankets, burp cloths, etc.

She is having a boy this summer and naming him Liam. the baby shower is at the end of may and im looking for something useful but different. I dont want to get her something that someone else will get or she’ll already have. nothing too expensive. Any ideas? 10 points best answer.

buy a jumbo pack of diapers and make her a diaper cake. the diapers will really come in handy. google some diaper cakes and make one

I am going to put together my 19 month old daughter’s Easter basket instead of buying one. I am going to put in lots of chocolate eggs and more kids of chocolate with The White rabbit stuffed animal from Alice in Wonderland. I was thinking of also including a book of something to do with bunnies. What else should I put in it? I want it to be unique.

Oh, and should I also include the fake grass? Do you think it’s necessary for that easter feel? I really don’t like when it gets everywhere and it doesn’t really serve a purpose. Should I line the basket with something else?

What about some new pairs of undies? She sounds like she is around potty training time. Bubbles, crayons or playdoh. I would do without the fake grass, she wouldn’t notice the difference at this age anyway. I don’t think you really have to line the basket but maybe you could find a little blanket would do the trick. Just some ideas, have fun easter shopping!

Hi! My fiance and I have been asked to be godparents to my yet-to-be-born baby cousin. We know he a is a boy but we don’t want to get him the traditional baby gifts like clothes, etc. Please don’t suggest money or any religious items as we will get him something religious at his Baptism. Any suggestions that you may have are very much appreciated as we really want to buy him something special and a little different. Thanks so much!

Nearly all her requests have been fullfilled (except high dollar items, like the matress, swing, video monitor, etc) — I’ll just buy diapers if I can’t think of anything but was hoping to find something she didn’t think of. I’ve never been pregnate, so I need your help!

Here are some baby shower gift ideas,

Baby slings for Mom - that is helpful
Make a donation to baby’s first bank account
A memory album with an imprint of the baby’s foot (cute)
How about a name train - it would be cute in the room and years down the road he can play with it.
I found these gift here http://www.giftideacenter.com/Occasion/Baby_Shower/

Or something different like baby’s first stock
Silly baby bottle covers
Baby lullabies from rock music - it is pretty cool.

Good luck and happy shopping.

I am hosting a baby shower party and want to give a unique gift to all the guests for memory. There are about 100 people who will be attending. It should be nice gift and at the time affordable because of the numbers Can you recommend one?

Well since you have so many people, you can personalize a baby item (such as mini blankies in pink and blue, a baby bottle, toy rattles, etc) with the name of the unborn baby and its due date or put the name of the parents expecting the child.

The guests will always have a lasting memory of the shower b/c it will be personalized on the cute baby goody! You can also include some food as well , such as cute little candies in blue and pink. Good luck, hope you have fun!

PS
And since there are so many people attending, you may be able to buy your personalized items in bulk and get money off!

Hi! I’m going to my hubby’s cousin’s baby shower next week and I am looking for gift ideas. The couple isn’t registered anywhere, and they also don’t know if they are having a girl or a boy. I do know they’ve already bought the stroller/carseat combo, and I think they’ve already got the furniture too. I assume the bigger items like a playpen and high chair are not the best things to go out and pick on your own, and they might already be taken care of anyway. So I’m looking for unique ideas that are good for a boy or a girl, and that they won’t end up getting a dozen of and only needing one. I looked around today and saw things like onesies, bottles and baby dishes and stuff, but that seems so ordinary. Do you have any good ideas? Thanks!
Yes, of course I want to get them something useful that they will need, not some silly keepsake. But since I don’t have kids myself, I’m wondering what are some useful items that maybe you never have too many of, or useful things that people might not think of.

Get essential items, but have them personalized. Since you don’t know gender buy yellow blankets/sippy cups/burp cloths/bibs etc and have them say the last name: "Smith Baby" or "Newest Stevenson" or something to that effect.

anyone have a good idea for a useful unique baby shower gift? I am willing to spend up to 40 dollars, she already has a ton of clothes, diapers baby lotion etc.. would like to get something very useful and not so popular, any suggestions?

We got some great ones at our baby shower(s). We have a 3 year old little girl and nine month old boy. There were three gifts that stood out above the others because they were so useful and also unique.

1) Me Too Seat
2) BabyLegs - adorable and useful- they are great!!
3) Little Giraffe blankets

The BabyLegs are around $12 a pair. The blanket and seat are around $50.

We wrote an eHow article about what is great about all of these. We actually titled the tip article - How to Find Unique Baby Shower Gifts. So when I saw your question, i had to answer : ). There are links at the end of the article to each products main website (not sales sites) just the corporate site so you can check them out. I have no affilation to any of these products - we just loved them and more important we use them, daily. Take a look at the article if you wish. Pick a good one, you’ll make someone’s day!!

What’s something you wish you would have received at your baby shower? Or what is a unique gift for a young mother? I know she isn’t breastfeeding, so things for that aren’t necessary. I want something practical & unique.

DIAPERS!!! My sister made me a beautiful diaper cake, she said it was really easy and she hadn’t ever done anything like that before. I loved it!

What does your baby’s name mean? (Like "Sarah" means "Princess" in Hebrew etc) Look up your baby’s name and find a gift based on the meaning of the name. For example, if it was "Sarah" you could give everyone a little crown with the baby’s name on it and birthdate. Good luck.
