Buying for Baby? Top 5 Gift Ideas and Tips
Calling all Moms’, Favorite Aunts, Grandparents, & everyone else who loves to fuss over Babies! Get ready to spoil that Baby!
If you are getting ready to bring home Baby, or if you are looking for gift ideas for baby showers : here are the Top 5 Gift Ideas, Tips and Inside Scoops from eBillme Mom’s.
1. Diaper Bag
Do not choose a diaper bag that is too: frilly, girly, or “Winnie the Pooh ish”. Stick with something plain, so Dad won’t be embarrased to hold it and cart the diaper bag around the grocery store.
2. Stroller
Quality strollers are expensive, but a great stroller will provide years of enjoyment. Cheap strollers are cheap – they weight a ton, and you need a pick up truck to haul them around town. Strollers are great baby shower gifts – if every one pitches in, the cost isn’t so bad. No surprizes – let Mom pick the stroller she wants, like this Stokke stroller, which is really popular right now.
3. Bouncers vrs Swings
Swings take up alot of room and not all babies like the big movement. Go for a bouncer seat instead. They have washable covers, are easy to transport, and there are many great brands under $50.
4. Avoid Commercial Themes
Choose furniture, assessories, and decore that will grow with the child. Even a 4 year old will get sick of Dora and Elmo. Go for Animals, Nature, and other classic themes.
5. Handmade Gifts and Blankets
Nothing gets ladies crying at baby showers more than handmade gifts – so get out the knitting, needlepoint, etc. If you aren’t the crafty type, give a beautiful blanket. Blankets are a wonderful gift, and you can never have too many.
