Baby shower gift idea !
An expecting mom could be the happiest person in the world
should she give birth to a little baby. And in the anticipation
of the newborn, baby showers are commonly held about three
months before the baby is born. It is also possible to hold it
after the baby is born. It has advantages in doing that plus it
would be little easier selecting gifts if it were held after.
But a higher percentage of people hold it before the baby's
birth. Shopping for baby shower gifts and items could be fun and
exciting. You can give anything for the baby, from baby
consumables to playthings but choosing the best gift(s) can be
very tricky. To assists you in picking, you can check out these
suggestions: 1. Buy something that the baby will use frequently.
You can buy baby ointments, baby lotions, diapers, wipes, baby
power, and other stuff, and place them all in a basket or any
appropriate container. All babies use diapers, and no mom can
live without it now a days. Most moms usually think this as a
practical gift because if they get enough of it from guests,
they need not purchase diapers for the baby until after a few
months. That's big convenience and big savings for them. Running
out of diapers during the night could be a nightmare. You can
also add some medicines and vitamins for the baby. This could
come in handy in times of need.
2. Buy something fun for the baby. You can buy toys. Good toys
are those that move and produce sounds. Buy something that can
be mounted on the crib. Suggestions can be baby tape player,
vibrator seats, swings, bouncy seats, high chairs, or walkers.
The list is endless. These toys also enhance a baby's mind
development through color, object, and sound recognition. 3. Buy
some cute clothes. Although this could be risky since you don't
know the gender the baby will be, or its weight upon birth. Try
to buy rompers and shirts in medium sizes. This way you can be
sure the baby can wear what you bought at least a few times.
Don't buy clothes that need ironing because that's added task
for moms and you wouldn't want that, of course. 4. Buy something
useful for mommy. Gifts assisting moms caring for the baby is
such a good idea. You can buy a baby carrier or slinger. It is
very helpful for moms to get some cooking or cleaning done while
carrying the baby. A helpful device you can buy is a diaper
genie to help keep the smell down from used diapers. 5. Buy
something for moms too. True, baby showers are for the babies.
But moms, with all the excitement that they feel towards giving
birth, can be apprehensive about the idea too. You can give gift
certificates to moms from a shop or mall. You can give moms
books or magazines about parenting. You can give them coupons
from a Laundromat or a professional house cleaner. You can
prepare for them a dinner for one night and send it over. Or
better yet, give delivery stubs from pizza parlors so in the
event dinner can't be cooked, food can be driven over.
Baby showers are held to welcome the baby to the world.
Sometimes, baby showers are held only for the first-born. It
would be nice to have a shower for each of your new born child
so that the baby would feel well received and wanted even from
the mommy's womb. Babies are cute little blessings families are
given with. Let's greet them even before they come out and join
us!
