Youve received the baby shower invitation and you want to buy the perfect gift. What do you do? Here are my top 10 tips for choosing a great baby shower gift. This guide will help you select a gift any new parent will love: 1.Choose something from the new Moms baby registry list. Youll never go wrong if you choose a gift from the baby registry list. If the new Mom is registered, the store will usually be listed in the baby shower invitation. Remember, if a new Mom took the time to identify gifts for her registry, then the least you could do is choose a gift from her list. In most cases, you can shop online or by phone. Its really a painless process. Keep in mind that stores like Babies R Us will wrap and ship the gift for you. 2.Give something that will help keep the new Mom organized. No matter how organized a woman is before she has a baby, the wheels come off her bus after the baby is born. Gone are the regular salon appointments, spa days, perfectly organized Blackberry, and girls night out. Enter chaos, diaper pails, doctor visits, and bouts of self doubt. Two gifts that kept me sane and organized were 'Baby's Daily Diary & Keepsake Journal: A Customized Organizer for Parents and Grandparents Alike' (my book) and 'What to Expect the First Year, Second Edition' . 3.Gift cards are always welcome. If you dont have time to shop or the new Mom is not registered, give her a gift card. Unquestionably, caring for a baby is the ultimate money pit. Gift cards are great and can be used anytime by the new Mom. The best gift cards are from baby, discount, department or grocery stores. If possible, get a card for the store where the new Mom regularly shops. And, dont forget the java every new Mom needs caffeine. Give her a Starbucks gift card and shell love you forever. 4.Savings Bonds are an investment in the babys future. Want to give something unique? Try a savings bond. Its an excellent contribution towards the new babys college fund. 5.Baby swings are great. Sleeping babies make Moms happy. One of the best tools to get a baby to nap is an 'Ocean Wonders Aquarium Cradle Swing' . Babies love it. They can sleep in it or just occupy themselves to give Mom a break. 6.Baby Einstein Play Gym. Belly time is important for all newborns. Ive received great feedback from friends whove found the 'Baby Einstein Play Gym' invaluable and their kids love it! 7.Baby Bjorn Baby Active Carrier. Strollers are good but using the 'BabyBjorn Baby Active Carrier - Sporty Black' will give you your hands back. Talk about freedom! Buy the Baby Bjorn for a new Mom and shell have some much needed control and semblance to a normal life. 8.Create your own gift basket. If you really want to be creative, make your own gift basket. You can fill it with anything you want. The best things to include are items on this list, practical items like diapers and wipes as well as the new Moms favorite snacks or favorite bottle of wine. 9.Movies and Music. Lets face it. A new Mom will likely miss the latest movies and lose track of the hottest music. Keep her in the loop by giving her movies and DVDs. 10.Babysitter gift certificates. If you really want to help a new Mom, give her a babysitter gift certificate. Every new Mom needs a break. Whats better than offering to baby-sit once a week or even once a month? In fact, a group of friends can create a babysitting team and take turns relieving the new Mom. One final tip: whatever you do, dont forget to include a receipt with your gift. I hope this guide helps. Good luck! Products mentioned include: 1.

birthday present. Me and
My Birthday Present My Birthday Present At A Glance Author rebecca Contact rreilly12@hotmail.com When It just happened Artist andres Studio monster Location san pedro, costa rica My birthday was on April 12th, but I found that I couldn't celebrate it as I was at the time involved in "Hairspray", my high school's musical for the year. My schedule was very hectic and I found that I had forgotten my birthday, and so had my parents. And so time passed, I finished the musical, and I decided that I wanted to give myself a birthday present. Me and some other friends involved in Hairspray found ourselves with nothing to do seeing as all of our time had been spent rehearsing. Yesterday I went with my friend Erica to the mall, and we planned on seeing a movie. We looked at our options for a movie, but our options consisted of idiotic movies, such as Miss Congeniality 2 and Son of the Mask, so we wandered around the mall for a while, had a few cigarettes, and then wandered some more. We were completely bored by this time, but I had to be there until 10:30 to wait for my younger sister who was there with her friends. Suddenly, Erica mentioned the fact that she had always wanted a labret piercing, and I decided on the spot that we should go and get pierced right now, that very day and get back to the mall in time to pick up my sister. I immediately called a cab so that we couldn't back out of it. We waited for the cab and shared a cigarette to calm our nerves, as my hands were already shaking and she said that she had the butterflies. I could relate. We were sitting in the cab and I tried to decide which piercing I would get. I wanted to get a vertical labret, but I had promised another friend that we would do that together, so that was automatically out. My tragus? I had already done my inner conch, and I wasn't in the mood to take care of another thick cartilage piercing in my ear. My nipples are also on the waiting line, but I'm waiting for my best friend to come down so that he can be there. Then it struck me... I should get my nose pierced! My father would kill me. This was to be my first facial piercing and I didn't know how he would react. However, my mother would most likely scold me, but secretly like it. So I decided just to go for it. I was doing it for me. It was my birthday present to myself. We stepped into the mall and I took Erica to Monster, a small store which sells clothes as well as does piercings and tattoos. I always loved the vibe of the store. I walked up to Andres and greeted him. I told him that I would like my nose done and that Erica wanted her labret. Erica wanted to go first because she was afraid that if she saw me do it first, she would chicken out. I'm glad it turned out that way because labret piercings hurt much less than nose piercings, and I didn't want her to be afraid. This was her first major piercing. So I held her hand as he did her piercing. It was done very quickly, and I was up. I sat on a metal stool and waited for him to retrieve the sterilized jewelry. A new needle in a package was produced, as well as many other utensils, including a toothpick so he could mark me. When he did, he asked me to look in the mirror to check and see if I liked it. It looked a bit high up to me, but he was the professional so I just let it go. He took out the needle and I gripped Erica's hand. I closed my eyes, and I felt him place the needle on my nose and break the first layer of skin. "Take a deep breath, and exhale." I was sweating. It was hot in the store, but I knew that I was responsible. "Inhale, Exhale." I tightened my grasp on Erica's hand. "Now take a deep breath and hold it!" Oh no! Panic sets in. He shoved the needle through my nose and man, did it HURT! My eyes were watering and my nose was burning. Then the burning subsided and I opened my eyes. I saw that in the mirror there was a needle sticking out diagonally in my nose. It looked so incredible! But then came the part that I feared the most. I've read on BME that putting the jewelry in hurts the most. It was worse than I expected. I think that the jewelry hurt more than the actual piercing. I was on the second day of my period, so my nose wouldn't stop bleeding. Andres explained it, but I can't quite recall his reasoning. I was too happy to pay proper attention. So Erica and I paid and then went to take pictures of our fresh piercings. I'm looking forward to taking care of it and waiting for it to heal so that I can change the stud. I would have preferred a ring, but that would most definitely be out of the question, both at school and with my parents. Now that I look at it in the mirror, I wish that I had told him to move it a bit lower down, but everybody thinks that it looks good where it is.

If you want to make a great impression and give them something they'll actually use and enjoy, forget about the gift basket with a bottle of champagne and a sausage log. It's time to think outside the basket and go for something a little more original. As a real estate agent, I like to give a gift to my clients when we close an escrow, and lately I've fallen into the rut of giving Home Depot gift cards. And while these are great gifts for anyone who owns a house, and are especially easy to buy when you're short on time, they're a little impersonal and predictable. They also scream 'Sorry, I just couldn't think of anything else to get you'. Guilty as charged. Here's a few unique gift ideas that are sure to please and maybe even surprise your friends or clients.... ...Another great website is NOVICA.com, which features worldwide fine art and home decor. Their mission is to 'create a bridge between you and the many talented artisans across the globe'. Art is very subjective, and unless you know exactly what your friend loves, it might be a good idea to give a gift certificate. Gift certificates start at $30.00 and go as high as $1000.00 for those really, really good friends. Top Print Send ITEMS IN CART Your cart is currently empty.
