Baby Clothes: A Nice Baby Shower Gift?

Shopping for baby clothes and accessories can be so nice, especially shopping for a baby shower gift for someone you love!  Baby clothes make great gifts for new parents.

Baby clothing from boutiques are very popular gifts.  Many even have gift registries for expectant parents.  Most larger towns and cities have these specialty boutiques, but these can also be found in quaint smaller towns, too.  The nice thing about boutique clothing as a baby shower gift is that the parents might not want to spend the extra money on clothing for the baby with all the other expenses they will have.  Try to pick out something unique.  Most parents get plenty of onesies and sleepers!

When in doubt as to what to buy or what size, stick with dresses for girls and overalls for boys.  Because I had big babies, most newborn clothing didn't fit my children.  I suggest buying size 3 or 6 months, keeping in mind many children wear the next size up from their age.  For example, a 3 month old might wear a size 6 months.  Remember to think about what season it will be when purchasing bigger sizes.  A nice long sleeved outfit won't be used if it would fit the baby in the summer.

Shopping online for baby clothes can get you some really good deals without the frustrations of being at the mall.  You're also more likely to get a unique gift online.  Shop around for special promotions and free shipping.  I like to use Ebates whenever I shop online and get a rebate on every purchase.

Internet shopping is perfect if you can't attend the shower.  Most stores with registries make ordering simple.  They can, in just a few clicks, have your order shipped directly to the new parents' house.

Baby sleepers and gowns are the most popular baby shower gifts.  While necessary, try pairing them with another more unique gift like an embroidered burp cloth, blanket or diaper bag.

Follow these basic rules while shopping online for your baby clothes

This guideline is not only for shopping your baby’s clothes, but for you to consider while shopping for any merchandize online: Use a secure server and browser with industry security standards before you enter credit card information online; research the target site and verify the companies for authentication through contact information such as business name, address and telephone numbers; avoid using debit cards and consider calling up to take in your orders instead; and print out information on your order when you place it and keep the copies.

Following these tips will protect you from getting ripped while shopping online.

Baby Shower: Ideas and Tips

Cute Ideas for Baby Shower Favors

Even though guests shouldn’t expect to leave any party with anything, it is always a nice gesture to give parting guests a favor.  Here are some instructions for simple and easy baby shower favors that you can make at home.  By making the favors yourself, not only can you save money, but the handmade favors can be personalized easily to reflect the tastes of the mom-to-be and the theme of the shower!

Baby Bottles. Even your local dollar store can be a great place to find favor ideas.  Plastic baby bottles can be filled with chocolate, candies, Jordan almonds, jelly beans, bath beads or bath salts.  Tie some ribbon around the neck with a tag that says “Thank You” with the mom’s and baby’s names on it.

Baby Booties. Filled with candies, wrapped chocolates, gum balls, you can tie these at the tops with ribbons and a tag, much like the baby bottles.

Organza or Net Bags. You can find these in the wedding section of most major craft retailers.  Fill with candies, bath salts, chocolates, etc. 

Plastic Bottles or Glass Jars. It’s not too hard to find these types of containers.  If you don’t see them locally, search online and you can order them in large quantities.  Fill them with bath salts, bubble bath, shower gel or even baby powder.  You can tie a tag on them that has a cute verse about showering them like they showered the mom-to-be!

Tea Cups. Some baby shower hostesses have purchased tea cups and a flat of flowers and put one flower in each mug for a beautiful favor.  A great place to find odds and ends tea cups is at local garage sales and thrift shops.  Find some with pretty flowers painted on the sides.  You can also fill the tea cups with candle gel and a wick for another fun favor idea.

Flower Pots. With a cute tag telling the recipient to nurture their plant as the new mom will nurture her new baby, you could give guests small flower pots and seed packets or bulbs for tulips or daffodils for them to plant and grow some flowers.  If you want to do more, decorate the flower pot with acrylic paints or rub-on sayings or pictures found in the scrapbooking section of craft stores.  You can even get a simple foam stamp to decorate them.

Candy Bar Wrappers. You’ve seen those expensive candy bar wrappers you can order, but why not make your own?  These are perfect favors for showers that take place after the baby has arrived!  Just purchase a large quantity of candy bars from your local warehouse store like Sam’s or Costco and take one wrapper off to measure the size of the wrapper.  Now you have a template.  Create a wrapper using your favorite software and add special details like the baby’s name, birthday, weight and length and don’t forget to add the parent’s names as the “manufacturer”.  For ingredients, try words like “sugar and spice and all things nice,” “love,” “snips, snails and puppy dog tails.”

There are so many ways you can make inexpensive favors that your baby shower guests will really love.  Even something as simple as a bar of glycerin soap tied with a pretty ribbon is a nice gift most people will enjoy.  Look for sales and clearance items to really save money, but have the look of an expensive gift.

Baby shower favors that you make at home are personal gifts that add a great touch.  Not only does it make your guests happy, but it shows the mom-to-be that you care for her friends, too!  Have fun making your homemade baby shower favors!

Baby’s Room

Here are some suggestions that will keep baby safe and comfortable and not cost a fortune.

 

So you’re expecting a new little bundle of joy. Congratulations! You’ve cleared out the small bedroom near yours and you’re ready to set up your baby’s room. Here are some suggestions that will keep baby safe and comfortable and not cost a fortune.

Safety is the number one factor in a baby’s room. Check out the safety guidelines before buying or borrowing a crib (see Baby Crib Safety Checklist). Use your money to buy things that will last at least a few years, such as a crib that converts to a toddler bed and a small dresser. You may choose to use a cradle in the early months and keep it by your bed, but eventually you will need a crib.

Other baby furniture includes a changing table and a high chair. And don’t forget a comfortable rocking chair (with arms) for late-night feedings or to rock-a-bye baby a fussy infant to sleep.

In setting up the room, make sure everything you’ll need will be close at hand, so you never have to leave baby alone — even for just a moment! — on the changing table.

One of the biggest expenses in fixing up a nursery is the labor, so the best way to save money is to do it yourself! Refinish and paint (lead-free!) furniture, sew curtains (you can use cute baby print sheets), and get grandma to knit baby blankets. Paint the walls in light shades (with washable paint) in a color that will "grow" with the child. If you love wallpaper but can’t imagine doing a whole room yourself, trying decorating with a wallpaper border on painted walls or stencil a design around the windows, ceiling and doors. The room can look "done" by a decorator if you coordinate wallpaper and fabrics for a wall hanging, quilt, and window coverings.

If friends will be throwing you a baby shower, register for some things to decorate the room, such as bedding, crib accessories (bumper pads, mobiles), and bright colored toys or stuffed animals.

Use baskets, drawers, and shelves to store toys, clothing, and other infant essentials. Expand storage space by putting shelves or a small dresser in the closet.
