shower gifts. 1. Diapers,

Baby shower gift ideas Baby shower gift ideas Baby shower gift ideas for the Mother-to-be that already has one - or more - children, from experienced moms. When you go to a baby shower for a first time mom, it’s so much fun to shop. After all, you know that she needs almost everything! Shopping for pregnant friend who already has one (or more!) kids is more challenging – after all, how do you know what she already has, likes or needs? If she knows the gender of the baby, she’s sure to get clothes, especially if she’s having a different sex than her first-born. Here are some tips compiled from several mothers of their favorite second-time baby shower gifts. 1. Diapers, wipes and lotions. This isn’t the most romantic of gifts, but most second-time moms tell us that this is a practical and always-appreciated gift. A package or two of newborn-sized diapers, sensitive skin baby wipes and lotion make a great gift basket! 2. Board Books are always a hit for children. Good sturdy backed board books can survive chewing, drooling and dropping, and are nice for young children of all ages! Look online for some suggestions or try these tried and true favorites: Good Night Moon, Moo Moo Peekaboo, Time for Bed, The Mitten, Mouse Count, and The Cheerio Play Book. 3. A soft blanket or unique stuffed animal is always a welcome touch. Most children bond to one special “lovey”, so look for something soft and unique. One nice idea is the blanket/animal combinations made by Stephen Industries, like the bunny blankets – a soft stuffed bunny rabbit head, with a blanket body, ready to be loved and cuddled. One source for this is http://www.bkpuffnstuff.com/nursery.htm. 4. Frozen Dinners are always a hit for second time moms. It’s hard enough to prepare a meal for the family when you only have one child at home, with the addition of a second (or more) time becomes even more precious! Bring two or three clearly labeled frozen dinners for her freezer. Be sure to write the contents and preparation instructions clearly on the outside, so she can tell at a glance what it is and how to make it. Using a disposable foil pan will eliminate any anxiety about returning the dishes, as well! 5. A Babysitting Certificate for the older child(ren). Offer to take her older kids out for a day – or two – after the baby arrives. She’ll appreciate the thought but probably be too embarrassed to initiate this, so just plan on calling her the week after the baby arrives to schedule your day. If you work, you can always offer to take the child(ren) on a Saturday afternoon, or after work for an evening. You might even consider scheduling a standing appointment – every Wednesday evening, for example, for a month – that way she can plan and prepare for her “free time!” 6. Picture frames and photo albums are always a welcome touch. If you’re a scrapbooker, you might also want to offer to make a scrapbook for her of baby’s first year, collecting photos and making special pages that you return for her to include in her album. 7. A Double Stroller is always a fabulous gift if there are other young children in the home. Check online resources like Epinions (research.epinions.com) to see what brands are recommended for the ages of her children. 8. A Gift for Mom is always a nice and personal touch. A gift basket with self-pampering items like lotions, a nice nightgown, home facial items, etc. will make her feel pretty and appreciated. If you give a gift certificate make it specific, like for a facial or a manicure/pedicure. 9. A fold-up Booster seat is a fabulous gift if she doesn’t already have one. These are travel high chairs but also double as secondary high-chairs at home if she has other little ones who still need a boost – and free up the regular high chair for the new arrival! 10. A Housekeeper Visit. If you can afford an outside housekeeper, give her a gift certificate for them to come and clean her house after the baby arrives. This will help relieve her of some of the drudgery that adds more demands on her time! If you can’t afford an outside housekeeper, consider offering to do this yourself. Bear in mind that like the babysitting, she’ll probably be embarrassed to take you up on this, so you’ll have to call to schedule this after the baby. Don’t take no for an answer, either – find a time that works for her, and just show up ready to work, with all of your own supplies if possible (that way you won’t have to bother her to ask where her broom, vacuum, cleanser, etc. are). Run a couple loads of laundry, clean her bathrooms and kitchen, and give her carpet a good cleaning and she’ll be thankful for life! When in doubt, a gift certificate to a nice children’s store such as the Right Start Store (which offers a great selection of unique kids products and has online shopping as well!) will always be appreciated. The most important thing is to have fun, and realize that every baby is a blessing! Happy Shopping! © 2002 Pagewise You are here: Essortment Home >> People & Culture >> Holidays:Gifts >> Baby shower gift ideas << Great gifts for school teachers Creative gift wrapping ideas >>

I purchased several other "how to" start a gift-basket business books and this is by far the most comprehensive instruction book. Frazier assumes her readership base is educated and has considered all of the common sense factors regarding the start-up phase of a gift basket business. The appendix lists several valuable sources such as trade shows, magazines, and wholesale product suppliers. I also read Prentice Hall's "Start Your Own Gift Basket Business" . . . this was a complete waste of money. Best bet is Frazier's book along with her "Gift Basket Design Book". -Roxanne Ocampo Was this review helpful to you? ( Report this ) 10 of 10 people found the following review helpful: Good Business Information , April 8, 2004 Reviewer: "private_storm" (Aldie, VA USA) - See all my reviews Anyone will tell you that starting a business is a lot of preparation before getting into the acutal running of the company. This book focuses on that important fact. Any business that deals with a product to a customer should have insurance. Some people may choose this business because they think that it is inexpensive and easy to sell your product, and yes it can be that if you work hard at it but the business information presented in this book is what will help save you from yourself and lack of knowledge about running a business. While it may seem improbable that someone could sue you for food poisoning because a product you sold them made them sick, it becomes very real when you are about to lose your house and all your possessions because you were not insured. Small business insurance is probably the most important thing that someone should have if they are a sole propiertorship. This may not be good news to someone who is looking to start a business on a limited budget but it a necessity. I was impressed with all the business information that was included in this book because a lot of home based business books skip over that section and instead focus on the product. If you have the idea than you already have the product, the rest is implementation. Get this book if you have ideas but not aware of how to run a business. Was this review helpful to you?

It is such an easy read and it really takes you step by step on how to start in this business. I began reading it not to long ago, and I can't wait to start my business. Was this review helpful to you? ( Report this ) 5 of 5 people found the following review helpful: Absolutely Fabulous - a MUST HAVE! , February 12, 2004 Reviewer: Sara Wilson (Washington, DC) - See all my reviews This book is by far the best handbook written about running a gift basket business. I've owned a gift basket business for one year and was looking for new marketing ideas, so I purchased several gift basket business books from Amazon. This book stood out from the rest because it includes TONS of marketing ideas and tells you who to contact at various types of businesses/potential markets. I am really impressed! The ideas in this book really work and have encouraged me to get even more organized and focused in my marketing. If you are interested in learning more about my gift basket company, go to www.BasketAct.com. I strongly suggest this book for any and all gift basket makers, whether they've been in the business for years or are just starting out. Was this review helpful to you? ( Report this ) 3 of 3 people found the following review helpful: Great for beginners in starting a Gift Basket BUSINESS , January 23, 2004 Reviewer: "rockstars_girlfriend" (OZ) - See all my reviews For people looking to set up a gift basket business structure and solid business foundation, then this is the book for you. The book gives you ideas and a methodology to follow to start and set up your own gift basket business. This book is great because it details things to check out to protect yourself legally such as health food regulations and permits that you may require. I would have never thought of these things myself since all i focus on is creating my gift baskets Many people are very passionate about the creative side of gift baskets, however it is the business side that gets your great gift baskets to the customers hands and this book tells you how to do it. It does go through the basics of putting together a gift basket with black and white hand drawn pictures. It may be disappointing to people looking how to create unusual gift baskets or ideas for new gift baskets - but as it states on the title "gift basket BUSINESS". Was this review helpful to you? ( Report this ) 4 of 4 people found the following review helpful: I was dissapointed... , January 5, 2004 Reviewer: A reader I was really excited to get this book; but I found that it was really not for beginners. She talks about getting attorneys accountants employees, etc, etc, while skipping the part of how you actually get up to the point where you can actually afford to do that. I found the information very generalized, and somewhat ellusive. I got this book, because I wanted to know how to start a gift-basket business. Yet the information seemed to skirt around the topic rather than addressing it head on. This book seems best suited to someone who has ran a business before, has a degree in business, or has abundant financial resources to tap in on. I was not impressed with it. I wish I had bought a different book on the same topic. Thanks. Was this review helpful to you? ( Report this ) See all 35 customer reviews... Listmania!
