I found an article in the Boston Globe that I thought was about babies. It is mostly not but did find a great gift giving tip for a baby showers.
The gifts for a baby shower are, obviously, things that babies need. Experienced mothers are a good source of wisdom for first-timers on what baby gear is truly essential and what is a waste of money.
I have a friend, mother of four growing children, who buys only baby clothes or diapers. Practical gifts. Nothing else! After raising four, she knows what a new mom needs. Another friends with no babies does the same. It just seems practical to her as well.
But some of us like to show-it-up a bit when giving a baby shower gift. So if you have the budget, a baby diaper cake is wonderful way to spoil while keeping your responsible self in check.
Another way to that nagging voice quiet – the one not letting you have fun – is to buy a baby gift basket. Look for ones like the Layette Gift Basket – stuffed full of clothes that can be personalized too.
Stuffed Full of Baby Clothes
And finally, last great baby gift hiding practical: Personalized baby clothing. They come in all designs, sizes and type. One gift tip is too always buy two sizes too large. Your gift will be very welcomed when all the infant clothes are quickly outgrown.
I think ‘experienced mothers’ would agree with me. You can still have fun while being practical!
