Baby shower

[roomster]

Hello.

My friend is having a baby shower on Saturday. Does anyone have any ideas for a present? I dont know the sex of the baby and i want to get something different rather than just a plain babygro.

Also i know the tooth boxes and baby books where you put the babys details in are a really good idea, im just worried she might get two or more of them.

Thanks for your help!

ooh theres a site that does babygros in a bouquet style, will go look.

I got 3 of those baby books by the way. They are all lovely but 3 is too many lol

How much are you thinking of spending? How about vouchers for a photographer or something for when baby is born?

I didnt want to spend too much as once the baby is born i will probably want to spoil him or her even more!

Thats why i cant see the point in a baby shower, people will want to buy once the baby is born as you say.
How about just getting a nice baby shawl then? you can never have too many and can even buy them cheap in places like tesco. i have a cute 'little roo' one from there that my son snuggled in.

What about a money box? You can get some really nice ones and put some money in it before you give it as a gift so that it brings good luck.

Good ideas thank you. I agree that baby showers are a silly idea. I think its mainly a chance for us all to get together before the baby is born.

hi,

if you want to be really different, how about getting a gift for the parents rather than the baby. everyone'll be concentrating on the baby and the prospevtive parents may feel a bit left out (especially the daddy), maybe a pamper kit or something along those lines

The best gift I had was a basket of all the things needed for a baby`s every day needs. Cotton wool, wipes, cotton buds, scissors, nappy sacks, baby thermometer, bibs.

How about a diaper cake? Diaper cakes are ideal when you want something different, because every new mom needs diapers! This is a clever and memorable way to give them - mom-to-be will love it! Have a look.
