5 Tips For Baby Shower Gifts
I'm sure most expectant mothers have their gift registry to help the shower goers with ideas for gifts. However here are five somewhat out of the ordinary gift suggestions for your consideration. Arriving with one of these may make you the hit of the party.
1.Rock-a-bye baby in the hammock
This is definitely not the usual thing one would think of when considering a baby gift. These hammocks, made by several different companies, hang on a stand and sort of swaddle baby as he/she sways or swings.
They give baby the closeness they like and the swaying motion that most times will lull them to sleep.Sounds like one of these would be great to help baby relax. We all know how uptight these babies get when their feeding isn't on time.
2.Baby is going to need a bath
If you are thinking of that old plastic bathtub for babies that would sit in the adult bathtub, you would be wrong.Now there is available "pod" or "bucket" looking containers that the baby sits in and gets bathed.
It is very nice for the bath giver because there is no need to bend over a bathtub.It also is small and more "baby sized" so the child feels more secure while having their bath. This is a nice innovation.
3.Let's go for a stroll.
Some of the nicest strollers on the market today are the all-terrain type strollers. With a single front wheel that turns 360 degrees these are very easy to navigate. In fact these strollers are so nice the parents will probably be coming up with excuses to get out and stroll as much as possible.
These strollers are ergonomically designed for baby's comfort and sport extra features for the adults, who will of course be doing the strolling part.
4.It's got to be time for a diaper change.
This isn't going to be your run of the mill changing table either. Available for you to purchase is a combination changing table and bathtub. These are also made by several companies so it's obviously not that out of the ordinary.
Really a nice idea to have all the items you need for bath and changing all in one place. And if it happens to be a messy diaper change then you can bathe the little one right there on the spot.
5.Sometimes carrying baby is more convenient.
How about one of those nice baby carriers that strap around the adult? The one I'm referring to lets the baby be carried in front.
These are great for leaving the parents "hands free" and also giving baby the closeness they crave.
These types of carriers will be of use for a much longer time than the regular plastic hand carry kind. A friend of mine used hers for such a long time, her daughter's legs hung down to my friend's knees. I'd say she got her money's worth out of that carrier!
I personally think all of these would make nice gifts however, my favorite out of all five is the all terrain stroller idea. The BumbleRide Indie Stroller [http://www.squidoo.com/bumbleride-indie-stroller] has a lot of the features we all want in a stroller and has gotten rave reviews.
