Baby Showers

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.
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. There are various simple and quick ideas to create your own gifts for mom and baby, regardless of the sex and shower’s theme. Here is couple of them:
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.
Choosing bath items are always easiest thing to do. 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.
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.
