The baby is arriving.....and this joyous event is what's called a baby shower! Who knew that a baby shower would turn into such an event? The gifts are piled high and by the looks of it the baby shouldn't need anything until at least age 10-right?
Many gift givers will buy all 'newborn size' baby gifts. This is great for the beginning but what happens after the baby is 4 mos old? All of a sudden the baby has grown out of all of the clothes. The new parents find themselves purchasing more clothes that fit. So, if you are a gift giver remember to buy something for the correct season as well as a bigger size. Gift givers always have the best intentions but can overlook something very important.
Diaper cakes will help with the sudden shortage of diapers as well as make a great centerpiece at a baby shower. The diapers that would be the most helpful would be the size #2-3. So, gift givers listen up......when you chose a gift with sincerity it will bring lasting gratitude.
A large basket with a handle that includes all the necessary items such as diaper rash cream (several different kinds), thermometer, nail clippers, wipes and diapers will become mom's new friend. The basket can be carried from room to room with all the necessary diaper changing items right at her finger tips. Wrap the basket up in the large celophane bag add a bow and you have a great gift the will bring happiness. You can always add ribbons or embellishments to make it a little more personalized but ultimately this gift will last a long time.
Personalized gifts give a sentimental touch to a gift. Monogramming a beautiful blanket with the baby's name will be a forever gift. This gift will be one that she will take out of the box when she's all grown up and say "Aunt Jean gave this blanket to me." These gifts will be slightly more expensive but certainly give that extra special touch you are looking for.
