Baby shower decorations, shower favors, shower games, invitations all
the accessories needed to make your baby shower. Create a truly unique
baby shower setting.
Unique Baby Shower Gift Idea
You
can buy a Rubbermaid storage bin and put a few items in it along with a
magazine to "Parents".... etc. Order a subcription now and you pay for
it next month when the bill comes in. Since your budget is so tight
this month. You can also go to a used book store and try and find a
book for new mothers. I have always had a positive response to these
very useful items for mothers.
Also you can by items for a 1 year
old, since the baby grows so fast, mothers like to find things later on
that the child can use. Like socks!
Custom Coupons
Make a coupon book good for:
1 dinner cooked, delivered, served, and cleaned up by me.
1 afternoon babysitting
1 evening babysitting
1 afternoon of errand-running.
You have saved her much in the way of time, money, and stress, and you've done the same for yourself!
Diaper Cake
My
favorite baby shower gift is to take a package of cloth diapers and
wrap them around a baby bottle until they look like a birthday cake...I
get a cake plate from a local Super Market bakery for free (the
cardboard kind) and decorate the top with baby socks rolled into
flowers... I hold the diapers together with baby safety pins...It comes
out really cute...and even if the mom to be uses disposable diapers.
The cloth ones have many uses with a new baby....It has always been a
hit!
Future Gift
Saving bonds are always good; they also make good follow up gifts for birthdays of the child.
Bath Time
Buy
a baby bath tub and fill it with little goodies such as all the bath
necessities (soap, shampoo, powder, desitin, lotion etc). You can also
include items such as baby nail kits, wash cloths and towels, a couple
of outfits or pj's. Also diapers or a gift certificate to a Target or
Walmart where formula or other needs can be purchased. Wrap the tub up
with clear wrapping and decorate. Everything in the basket will always
be used!
Memory Box
An
idea that is more personal is a nice heavy cardboard box with a lid or
plastis box with lid. Decorate with fabric paints in bottles and write
"baby's memories" on top. New moms love these to throw all those cards,
letters, and other little items that come along that they want to save
for baby.
Night Out
Give
the parents coupons for babysitting. If this is their first child, one
free evening or weekend day will be plenty--you can always be more
generous if you want. Make sure they use them by including two movie
passes for a local theater. This won't cost a fortune. After our son
was born, we were too out of it to think of where to go if we had a
free evening, and we had a hard time asking friends to baby-sit--this
gift would take care of both problems.
Is That Real?
You
will need two small blankets, a baby rattle, a balloon, and a marker.
Blow up balloon to the size of a baby's head. Open blanket and place
head on blanket. Tape or pin in place. If you pin, pin the knot, not
the balloon. Fold the other blanket in a tube like shape. Wrap around
head and cross ends to make arms. Pin in place. Now wrap your baby up
bunting style. In hand tye rattle. Draw face on balloon. If you want to
spend more money, you can put your baby's head on a sleeper stuffed
with wash cloths. That way every thing you have used is useable.
