2007-04-24T08:59:00.000-07:00

This is an unique baby shower gift to present at a Couples Baby Shower. This gift idea is not very expensive. It will bring joy to the room once the Dad opens his very own unique baby shower gift.

It is not very common that the dad gets a gift. It is usually the mother receiving and enjoying all of the gifts. But,I have a unique baby shower gift idea for Dad.

I call my gift idea a DADDY'S DIAPER DUTY DEVICE.

Most men do not enjoy changing diapers. Lots of men do not even know how to change a baby diaper. This gift helps the Father to change the Baby's diaper. So, here are the items and instructions for this gift idea.

1- TOOL BAG (preferably one that wraps around the waist)

Waterproof Changing Pad

Face Mask

Rubber Gloves

Protective Goggles

Tongs

BABY BRAG BOOK

2007-04-19T11:14:00.000-07:00

A Baby Brag Book would be a very unique baby shower gift. Every mother needs one or more of these! And no matter how many children the expectant mother already has, she will need to brag about each child. So this is a perfect baby shower gift idea for any mother, whether this is her 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, or 7th child.

Here are the ingredients and instructions on how to build up that Baby Brag Book,'

What you will need:

1 (8" by 8") scrapbook

Various colored papers

Glue

Tape

Stickers and any other decorative embellishments that you like

Instructions

You will be making a scrapbook for the expectant mother to be able to just insert photos of her new baby. A new mother rarely gets a chance to make a fun baby scrapbook (she's too busy with changing diapers, feeding the baby, and more). So this is a very helpful baby shower gift. With the 8" by 8" scrapbook, decorate each page with a baby theme.

You could make one page for bathtime, one page for bedtime, one page for play time, etc. Or choose another theme that you know the mother would like. You can decorate as much or as little as you want. Make the pages simple and sweet, or embellish them to the hilt. Just leave enough room for the photo! Sometimes "less is more", because you don't want to drown out the photo with all of the decorations.

Use stickers, poems, sayings, quotes, buttons, ribbons, etc to decorate with. On an 8" by 8" page, there is usually only enough room for one photograph, so leave enough space on the page for one 4" by 6" photograph. You can even find pre-decorated 8" by 8" scrapbooks for babies.

This is your gift to the mom - your time, your creativity, and your love. It will be great!

I have given this Baby Brag Book away to many of my friends and families. A Brag Book is not only good for baby showers but also bridal showers, etc.

Baby Shower Gift Ideas To Delight Any Mom-To-Be, And Her Baby

2007-04-10T09:56:00.000-07:00

A thoughtfully chosen baby shower gift will be cherished, both for the sentiment attached to it, and the need it is likely to fill. Whether you prefer something unique or creative, or take the practical road, the vast collection of baby shower gifts and baby gift baskets available, will provide you with just the right idea.

Baby Shower Gift - Firm Furniture Favorites: If you want to contribute a big ticket item to the baby nursery, help with the crib, crib mattress, and indispensable items such as a changing table, will be particularly welcome baby shower gifts. In this case, however, it will be sensible to find out exactly what is needed. You will have to ascertain whether a classic, sleigh design will fit in with the nursery décor, or if a more contemporary look will be suitable. Any crib also has to meet the required safety standards. In this case, a gift certificate may even be in order, allowing the prospective parents to make their own choice.

Baby Shower Gift - Traveling Trends: Another quite expensive, must-have item for every newborn, is a quality car seat. This is a baby shower gift that will be used almost daily for a number of years. Buying from a reputable manufacturer is vital, to ensure durability and the necessary safety standards. Other items in this category, are strollers, jogging strollers, with carriers as a less costly option.

Baby Shower Gift - Bedding For A Snug Little Bundle: If you know what the theme in the nursery will be, you can assist by buying suitable bedding as a baby shower gift. Adorable bedding sets are available, to suit every possible theme and color scheme. Choose from plaids and patchwork sets, to cute characters, to animals big and small, to cars and trucks, to sea-life themes. Basic sets include sheeting, a bumper, and a quilt. More extravagant sets cover items such as curtains, lamps, wall paper borders, diaper bags, and many other extras.

Baby Shower Gift - Nursery Paraphernalia: Search for baby gift baskets with quality items no nursery can be without, such as pacifiers, bibs, soothers, lotions and potions, hooded towels, mealtime necessities, and all those little things that can ease a new parent over the bumps of the first few months. If you want to make it more personal, choose a caring collection, and make up your own bountiful basket.

Baby Shower Gift - Nurturing Little Minds: A wide variety of gift ideas target development, and the stimulation of senses. These include educational toys, textured items that encourage development of the sense of touch, and classical music cd's and videos. One of these is the 'Baby Mozart' video, which will delight any baby for many hours. This baby shower gift is a useful tool for teaching new words, and creating an awareness of color and size concepts.\

Baby Shower Gift - Toys And Baby-Gear Galore: Toys and adorable baby clothing are always on the wishlist of soon-to-be parents. No baby has ever complained about having too much of these! The most difficult aspect, is choosing from the vast array of styles, collections, and trinkets.

Baby Shower Gift - Pamper Exhausted Parents: While the main focus at a baby shower is on the baby, a considerate 'extra' may be a gift basket to perk mom and dad up, after yet another sleepless night. Use your imagination, and collect a few spoil-yourself items, such as chocolate, bubble bath, scented candles, a magazine or two, and any other pampering products. Your gift will be remembered with fondness, and gratitude for your thoughtfulness.

In the end, it is not how much you spend that matters. What is important, is the thought and care that went into the baby shower gift.

Over the Shoulder Baby Holder - Baby Sling

2007-03-15T09:39:00.000-07:00

Baby slings are quickly becoming a popular choice for new parents. These versatile baby carriers offer many carrying positions to suit a parent's style and a fussy baby's whims. From cradling a tiny newborn to holding a toddler on your hip, parents will find many uses for a sling. To say the least, being able to grocery shop and hold a fussy baby and still have hands to pick up items is a wonderful thing.

So, go out and buy that special mother-to-be a baby sling. Watch the expression on her face and you will be happy.

UNIQUE BABY SHOWER GIFTS-- VINTAGE STERLING SILVER

2007-03-07T08:56:00.000-08:00

VINTAGE STERLING SILVER

Vintage sterling silver baby ware is an especially fine choice for a unique baby shower gift. The quality and craftsmanship of antique ware is superior to modern equivalents. Many people find it much more beautiful, too, with its velvety patina, versus new silver’s hard brilliance. One example of antique baby silver that would make a unique gift is a Reed & Barton bent-handle baby spoon. One can also find sterling silver baby cups with antique monograms featuring initials, and nearly all traditional names.

The ultimate advantage all sterling silver baby ware has over other options is that not only is it beautiful and meaningful, but it is forever useful, and may be treasured the child’s entire life. Multiple uses for sterling silver baby ware can be found after little hands grow up enough to handle big-people service. After all, if one never outgrows beauty, then one never outgrows sterling.

So, if you wishing to purchase that unique baby shower gift, try purchasing a nice piece of vintage sterling silver item. You, too, will be proud of the how your gift.

Baby Shower Gift Ideas That Won’t Put A Strain On Your Busy Schedule Or Your Budget

2007-02-19T09:40:00.000-08:00

Baby Shower Gift Ideas That Won’t Put A Strain On Your Busy Schedule Or Your Budget

Is there anything more exciting than the arrival of a new baby? The instant the parents-to-be find out that they’re expecting, every moment in life takes on an added layer of meaning. Whether it’s thinking of names, planning a nursery or breaking the news to an older brother or sister, it seems that everything is suddenly a special event.

Of course the one thing new babies need the most is love, but the list of supplies and equipment that new parents need to outfit and care for their new arrival is mind-boggling! When trying to decide on a gift it’s easy to get overwhelmed – especially if it’s a couple’s first child. Should you chip in with other friends or family members to get one of those big tickets items like a crib or a deluxe stroller? And if you get clothes, should you get stuff they can use right away, or those great toddler options that are out there?

Here are six other fun and functional baby gift ideas that won’t put a strain on your busy schedule OR your budget:

Baby Album of Firsts

While the pregnancy itself may seem to take an eternity, once the baby is born, time flies by at warp speed! As new parents, they’re going to feel a longing to capture as many of the "firsts" as possible -- the baby’s first smile, laugh, roll over, solid food, crawl, word, step, tooth, etc. The list of events is endless, and so will the memories with a baby photo album of firsts. That’s why, as Founder of Adesso Albums I am passionate about helping parents capture the "Now" of their children’s most precious moments.

Bib-a-Day

Okay, we know that once babies start eating "real" food it’s more like a bib-a-minute, but don’t you think that new parents would appreciate a week’s worth of bibs? Check out the choices at your local baby or department or discount store. You can get the same bib in a variety of colors, go for a cute animal theme or get seven bibs that are completely different from one another. Does Dad or Mom have a favorite sport? Check online and you’re sure to have an instant winner with an "official" team bib.

Bundle of Basics

Many essential baby products are small and inexpensive, and combining a whole bunch of them can make a terrific and useful gift. Baby lotion, shampoo, mild soap, diaper rash ointment, Vaseline, washcloths, itsy-bitsy fingernail clippers, a brush and comb set, tub toys, a teething ring … the list goes on and on! You can put the goodies in a pretty basket, a small hamper, or just wrap it all up in a receiving blanket and you’re good to go!

A Heap o’ Wipes

Any experienced parent knows that you can never have too many diaper wipes. So go to your local club/warehouse store and buy the biggest package of baby wipes you can find. (Go ahead, splurge, buy two!) Throw in an economy-sized box or two of diapers, wrap it all up with a big bow, and just like that you’ll have made things easier for harried new parents. It may not be the prettiest present they get, but it’s for sure the most practical!

Baby’s First Book

What was your favorite book when you were growing up? Odds are it was a classic that is still delighting youngsters today. If you still have that book and it’s in good condition you can add a handwritten inscription and you’ll have an instant heirloom. Or pick up a nice, new hardcover edition and add an inscription about what this book has meant to you. Since it will be a while before the baby will be able to appreciate the special book, consider adding a few inexpensive toddler board books that can be enjoyed sooner.

Gift Card

In a rush? Out of ideas? How about getting a gift card that the new parents can use at their local baby or department or discount store? That way you’ll know for sure that they’re getting what they want and need. Or for a sure-to-be-appreciated change of pace, buy a gift certificate for a nice local restaurant and offer to baby-sit one evening so that Mom and Dad can get some quality time for themselves… and make SURE they go!

As Founder of Adesso Albums, Lesley Mattos, is passionate about helping people all over the world capture the "Now" in life’s most important moments. Of all the ways to welcome a new baby and capture those memories, the Adesso Album is the only baby album keepsake that provides an instant memory in both pictures and words.

ABC'S & 123'S THEMED SHOWER GIFTS

2007-02-16T10:09:00.000-08:00

For this kind of baby shower, you may want to assign each guest a letter of the alphabet. From that letter of the alphabet, they are to purchase gifts. For example:

A---Antibacterial Soap,
B---Burp Cloths, Bottles, Bassinet, Blanket, Books, etc.
C---Changing Pad, Crib, Comforter, etc.
D---Diapers
And So on

This theme could also be a theme where each guest brings along a children's book--Maybe their favorite children's book. This fits the theme ABC'S and 123'S perfectly.

GIFT BASKET

2007-02-15T11:15:00.000-08:00

IT'S NOT THE QUANTITY, IT'S THE QUALITY.

The idea of preparing a gift basket is very inexpensive. Most of these items are $1 or more--very cheap. You can find a lot of these items at your neighborhood Dollar Store. Just think for such a small price, you can put a lot of creativity into this idea.

Here are a couple of instructions on how to create the perfect gift basket for that special friend.

Choose a large, hollow item to fill with little things. If you wish to make a large basket, try using a diaper pail or an infant bath tub are inexpensive and work very nicely. If youwant to make a smaller basket, use something smaller--maybe a bathroom bucket/caddy. It's also great for carrying the baby's small bath items around.

If you are going to use either of the items listed above, a bath theme would be perfect. Fill the basket with bath items.

Just a list of a few examples are:

Soap
Lotion
Towels
Rubber Ducky
Thermometer
Wash Cloths
Brush & Comb

You may even want to try the health and safety approach. Here are a few examples for it:

Thermometer
First Aid Kit
Electrical Plug Covers
Finger Nail Clippers
Emergency Aid Cards
Child Proofing Book
Door Locks
Diaper Cream
Fever Reducer

Or maybe you would like to try the ecletic style.

Diapers
Rattles
Onsies
Toys
Baby Books
Nursing Pads
Bottles
Bibs
Socks
Baby Toys

They are what they say they are, January 11, 2007
Reviewer: Double E "Value Shopper" (UPSTATE NY, USA) - See all my reviews
A good value for what it is. My only complaint is that these earrings are tiny - the picture can be deceiving that way, and the label 1/4 carot helps in that deception because that is the combined size (each being only 1/8 carot) yet sounds "big" (not as bad though as rings that claim 1 carot but are really 100 stones of what I call diamond dust, combined to add up to 1 carot).

We received ours yesterday and they are bigger than I expected. Honestyy I didnt expect too much for under $100 but I was blown away at the colour on ours, it was at least a H/I. And clarity is very good as well, no visible inclusions. Well worth the $100!

Reviewer: Scum and Villainy (United States) - See all my reviews
I bought these for my wife, and she really likes them. They're small enough that she can wear them day-to-day, but they're nice enough for formal occasions as well. This is a very versatile set of earrings at a great price.

Unbelievable, November 6, 2006
Reviewer: Valeri Morgan - See all my reviews

I couldn't belive my eyes when I saw diamond earrings with such an affordable price! I definitely think that selecting white gold is the way to go because it won't distract from the mesmerizing glamour of the diamonds. All my friends were wowed and shared that they will also consdier buying a pair. I am so happy.

Small and pretty, July 17, 2006
Reviewer: Doxielover (jacksonville, florida United States) - See all my reviews
These earrings are very small, maybe somewhere between 3 and 4mm each. They do appear white, (I don't see any yellow tinting) with a slight, slight bit of grey, which I prefer over a super white look (as you might sometimes find in a cz). These earrings catch the light nicely, showing a bit of rainbow effect. They aren't super, super sparkly or faceted, but they do possess shine and detail. I am very happy with these earrings as they are just what I wanted: something petite and real, set in yellow gold, and with a nice, clean and "believably" sparkly look! I also like the fit of the earrings backs, very tight and secure.

IS JEWELRY AN UNIQUE BABY SHOWER GIFT?

2007-01-25T09:49:00.000-08:00

You may think of jewelry as a birthday gift, anniversary gift, or any other gift to show affection. Actually, jewelry is more than that. You can use jewelry as an unique baby shower gift also. Go to a jewelry store and ask the jeweler for maybe a diamond baby diaper pin. You may ask the jewelry for a necklace with a birthstone pendant of the baby's due date. You may even ask the jeweler to make a personal gift---maybe a gold or silver pacifier with the birthstone of the baby's due date. Any of these gifts would be highly rememberalble. The mother-to-be will remember and cherish for all eternity.
