Unofficial Mom: Help my clever mamas and dadas!

June 7, 2011

Help my clever mamas and dadas!

Big Sister will be making me an aunt for the sixth time in a few weeks. She will be adding another, no doubt, gorgeous baby girl to the family.

So we're going to have a little mini shower for her this weekend and need something awesome to give her. I have a little stash going for when Little Miss arrives (Brandi I'm looking at you) but need something really good for the shower.

So tell me the super, duper, best, most incredible thing you got as a baby gift. HELP!!

well my shower (only had one) was pretty lame but that's cuz we're old and we got most everything ourselves... my cousin got us a Maclaren stroller though (she knows someone who works for them so got a huge discount), which is pretty badass and we use it all the time. the diaper genie would be my husband's favorite gift we got. i think the coolest things are more personal... if you know the name you could do a word art piece with the baby's name and adjectives describing the baby (i did this for the baby's room and it turned out soooo awesome) and get it framed. check out wordle.net if interested.

This is super small, but I loved it and give it to everyone now. A Pacimal. www.pacimals.com

My 2 "go to" gifts are: A stack of books that include: Good Night Moon, Brown Bear-Brown Bear, The Very Hungry Caterpillar and a few others that I've completely gone baby brain blank on right now :)

2nd gift is: Order a Lands End tote bag. Have your sister's or the baby's initial's monogrammed on it and then stuff it with all sorts of goodies from diapers to paci's to bottles to books or whatever you want. It's a great gift!! People always seem to love it because they can use the bag as a diaper bag or a pool bag, beach bag....whatever.

Hope that helps!

I loved my moby and my boppy. Also one of the best gifts I got was with my oldest a big box of diapers, a big box of kirkland wipes, and a diaper caddy full of anything and everything I could ever need to take care of baby's bum. I still have the caddy and have been a loyal user of kirkland wipes ever since!

It wasn't really for the shower, but it's my favorite gift I got (for both of my boys), but it's a personalized wooden baby block. It's engraved (is that the word you use for decorations on a wooden block?) with the first letter of their name, their date, place and time of birth and their measurements. It's so simple, but I love it!

the best gift we ever got was a book called "my very own name."
it's a story about the day the baby was born and the animals choose letters to create the perfect baby name.
for example, RIO "R - Dancing on point with the greatest of ease, the rhinoceros asked, 'Can we use an R please?
I - 'Please, please can we use an I?' the inchworm squeaked with a tiny sigh. O - 'If O is not used I will be a wreck!' the ostrich said while stretching her neck."
It's by ISeeMe and it's a favorite! The illustrations are darling and it teaches letters, animals, and the child's name! http://www.iseeme.com/

That's a tough one. Hmmm there's so many things that mean different things to me but meant so much like bloomers with my baby girls name monogramed on them(very cute) or a stack of coupons for diapers/wipes/etc to used for the months to come. Maybe you could even get a special gift for the momma to be that would be be meaningful just for her whether that be a spa pedi gift card or a "coupon" book for free babysitting?
