Unique Baby Shower Gifts
|
Unique baby shower gifts are certainly a desirable goal to have because so many gifts that infants receive look like cookie cutter presents that have already been received. Consequently, many gift givers are looking for that wow factor gift, that present that no other person has really seen before. To be sure, it takes some extra time and effort to find what no other person has thought of, but on that special day, unique baby shower gifts are worth all the trouble. The admiring stares and smiles plus the hugs and thanks will all be commensurate with the effort expended. So here are some things to consider.
First, consider baby gift baskets that just look stunning all by themselves. One vendor sells a bath time baby basket that includes a wash tub, infant shampoo, and a rubber ducky that plays Old McDonald and about ten other items for eighty dollars. Another basket is really a radio flyer rocket car that has a bear, bib, booties, hat, blanket and burp cloth for one hundred and seventy five dollars. Now which other person at that infant shower is going to show up with a radio flyer rocket car that the infant can use in two years? Just remember that we are looking for unique baby shower gifts and ideas.
Let's look at and consider gifts under thirty dollars that just might qualify as uniquely different infant shower gifts. How about a CD of the Beatles hits played in such a mellow way that the newborn is bound to fall asleep quickly? The music features a vibraphone, mellotron, glockenspiel and other soothing instruments and wouldn't "Yellow Submarine" be great on a pastoral guitar! But wait, a Coldplay CD is also available just recorded for the infant's nap time as well as Bob Marley's greatest hits. No person is walking into that shower with an infant version of Coldplay!
Now there is one very unique baby shower gifts idea that came across my eyes recently, and that is the "Baby First Tooth and First Curl Treasure Box" set for under thirty dollars. Now what mother wouldn't want a special place to store her baby's first tooth, bloody pulp and all? And of course the first time those little tresses are cut and the first curl is removed, where better to put them than in a beautiful ceramic gift box. Each of these little boxes can come in either powder blue for a boy or pink for the little princess. All right, mom would wash the tooth first, and maybe somebody would want to open the box up thirty years from now and have a good cry over where the years have gone. Admit it; this is a unique gift idea. This is under thirty dollars by the way.
For the unique baby shower gifts giver that didn't like the idea of the radio flyer rocket car, but still has a hundred and seventy five dollars do spend, consider the California made Moses basket. That's right, name after the famed baby who was hidden by his mother only to be found the family of the Pharaoh, this very nice basket that is made of sea grass so it is much softer than wicker can provide a very comfortable sleeping place for your little one in the first few months of life. It has a beautiful soft and protective bumper and liner and mattress pad plus a gingham ruffled pillow. It is not guaranteed, however to float on the water. This unique baby shower gifts idea also allows the purchaser to buy matching infant initial pillows and birth date pillows that would look very nice in the basket.
A little secret to getting really unique baby shower gifts is to try and find suppliers in California. Those people are on the edge of societal hip, when it comes to baby things. This is especially true about very one of a kind infant clothes. From one California baby boutique web site, they offer a fringed surfer tee shirt and a swim diaper with a giant flower on the front. Now what baby wouldn't want a giant 3 dimensional flower on her diaper? Parents of newborns are always so very intent on providing their children with the very best and want their little ones to enjoy all the joys of life. But God, in speaking about His commandments, is insistent that parents be the purveyors of His wisdom to their children: "And thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way and when thou liest down and when thou risest up." (Deuteronomy 6:7)
Perhaps the most heartwarming of any of the thousands of unique baby shower gifts are the ones a person actually makes personally. A handmade quilt with the baby's name will be a one of a kind gift. Perhaps a story book that has been homemade telling in a humorous way a story about the baby's parents from your point of view would be a really personal and certainly "uniquely you" gift. If one's imagination is a little limited about what you might be able to personally make, do a little research on the Internet. There are ideas floating around everywhere from many sources that can help you come up with that very special one of a kind baby shower gift idea. But start your planning as soon as soon as you hear about the "I'm pregnant" news.
