Spicing Up Common Sense Items as Your Baby Shower Gift
Posted by juliabennet on October 15th, 2011
Today's times are indeed tough, and the tune everyone is singing too is all about practicality – even in special events like a baby shower. It makes lots of sense to give practical baby registry items, but one can do something more to make it look extra special and give that mommy-to-be a certain glow which she can get when she feels she is loved. Here are some great suggestions to spice up your useful baby shower gift and make it stand out from the crowd.
One of the best ways to make a baby shower gift look extra special is to make it look like a masterpiece. Forget about collecting a lot of baby registry items and putting it all in one big economical box; adding a bit of creativity can go a long way in giving it that extra special touch without too much effort on your part. The first thing to do is to decide which particular baby registry items you want to purchase to make the special package. It helps if you have a theme. For example, the theme of your baby short gift is "Baby's Bath Splendor". It is easy to make it.
Choose a number of baby registry items that go with this theme, like baby bath milks, towels, lotions, dressing gown and the like. You can put it in a reusable tub and put several handfuls of Styrofoam balls in it to mimic bath bubbles. Wrap the entire thing in clear plastic cellophane and print out a yellow rubber ducky which will serve as the gift tag. Another great idea for your baby shower gift is a "linen cake" set. Purchase assorted baby and mommy linens and fold everything up to make it look like cake slices. Arrange in a round cardboard and cover in cellophane.
Another great idea for your baby shower gift is the "Baby Boo-Boo" Package – a sensible gift that contains useful and consumable items for many a household emergency any wary mother ought to be prepared for. Put together first aid materials, common baby relief aids and other things that will help out in an emergency (like waterproof band aids, which will come in handy when the baby starts walking) and put it in a plastic emergency box with a big red cross in the center. It is something every household ought not to be without and the recipient will really love it.
The last idea for your baby shower gift is the "Mommy Time-Out" Pack. While the baby is the center of attention, don't forget that the mommy works really hard to give the little one nothing but the best! Grab a cardboard box and fill it up with things like bath bubbles, lavender aromatherapy massage oils, body scrub, an eye mask, face clay mask and all those 'pamper me' items mommy can easily grab when she has an hour or two off her hands without having to go all the way to the salon and spa. Cover it up with pretty floral paper and wrap with a big bow and you’re all set!
Make a breathtaking baby shower gift while still keeping true to the name of the game: practicality. Here is how you can spruce up your baby registry items and make them look all the more eye-catching.
