Joy of baby shower shopping

Posted by sophiamilller on July 30th, 2013

 Do you know what is my favorite event to attend? It’s Baby Shower. The attractive things about it are: full of love and joy, you get to look at sweet baby clothes, amazing baby shower gifts and many more. I think it's really special to celebrate this awesome occasion for every new little one. My days as mother were not much easier as I used to purchase from the local stores for all the essential products for my baby. Online purchasing has made it so simple; just a few clicks and product will be at your doorstep. A baby shop online is at everyone’s fingertips. It surely makes baby shower shopping a lot easier.

I really enjoy picking hose gifts that I think the mother will enjoy or something that has made my days as a mother more interesting. You can make something for the new baby at your own too. The best part is that you can get inspired from a baby shop online. There are various simple and quick ideas to create your own gifts for mom and baby, regardless of the sex and shower’s theme. If you are not a big fan of baby shower shopping, here is couple of handmade ideas:

A Basket of Essential Baby Products

Choose a large, hollow item to fill with little things, it may be of plastic or any other hard material but wooden item will give the best feel. They are usually inexpensive and work very nicely. For carrying baby’s small bath items you can choose bathroom bucket/caddy. Skin care products and bathing products can be purchased from a baby shop online.

Choosing bath items are always easiest thing to do. It could be a very exciting baby shower shopping experience. Remember look out only for branded products. Here are some examples:

Soap

Lotion

Towels

Wash cloths

Brush

Comb

And many more such items. Some people prefer the health and safety related products for this gift. Here are some other gift items you can choose:

Diapers

Toys

Baby Books

Nursing Pads

Bottles

Bibs

You can also find some nice, baby toys online. A baby shop online provides toys for each chapter in a baby’s life. You can always use a fancy party bag instead of bucket or wooden item. To make your gift more fancy and beautiful, gift wrap individual item, it will take time but will give a different look. You can decorate it with thermocol balls and shiny papers.

Diaper Cake

This product will require little bit of talent, but after creating it one or two times it shouldn't be too difficult! As a result of all this work you will get a delightful looking "cake" made of diapers and toys.

Items you will need:

Diapers (a large pack)

Cardboard

Small gifts such as toys, brushes etc.

Transparent Tape

Rubber bands and Ribbons

A small stuff toy as a cake topper.

Procedure to make a diaper cake:

Use the cardboard as a base

Wrap diapers around cardboard to form the bottom of the cake.

Use transparent tape or rubber bands to keep the base intact.

Now start second layer. Make sure that this will be smaller than the first layer.

In this similar fashion you can create as many layers you need.

Now take your small gifts and tie them with ribbon and fix them into the layers. Gifts should look like part of the cake. Keep the small stuff toy as a cake topper. Now your diaper cake is ready to keep as a center piece at your baby’s shower.

If you have been invited to a baby shower, don’t forget to buy a lovely gift from a baby shop online. In fact, baby shower shopping could turn out to be more interesting than you thought.
