Baby Shower Games

Games are a great way to have fun at a baby shower. Here are a few ideas to get the ball rolling:

Guess the Goo - Have jars of baby food and juices on hand. Take the labels off and number the jar. Write the food or drink information down corresponding the number to the jar. Have each guests try or smell the jar. Have them write down their guess. Those who match the kind of food or drink to the jar wins the game.

Create-a-Baby - Each guest is given a magazine, scissors, paper and glue. This idea is to clip baby parts from photos in the magazine to come up with a composite baby. Guests can then vote on which new baby they think looks most like the parents.

Mind the Baby - This game is a variation to Memory. You'll need baby items (no more than 10 or 15) placed onto a tray and covered with a small blanket. Uncover the blanket for two minutes, allowing the guests to see the items. Recover the tray and have each guest write down what they remember seeing on it. Remember to place a time limit on this game. Read more

Baby Gifts Worth Spending Money On

Baby showers are a great way to help any new mom get off to a good start at welcoming their bundle of joy to the world. Classic baby gifts like onsies, rattles, blankets and stuffed animals are sweet and thoughtful but can leave the soon to be mom unprepared. Instead of the classics that everyone else always seems to show up with, try to think of things that could be needed at the most inconvenient times like in the middle of the night or the wee hours of the morning before even coffee shops are open.
 
For about $50 you can get mom and baby a bulk supply of diapers and wipes from Costco or bulk stores of the like. While you're there, why not pick them up their own membership so they can also have the ease of the bulk baby products. Having the ability to buy in bulk will reduce the amount of hectic trips to the store on limited sleep for the basics.
 
Another group of items that soon to be moms are grateful for and most will make a habit to always keep on hand at all times is infant medicines.

Crafty ideas for baby gifts

I was feeling crafty today and while looking for ideas for a gift for my new nephew I came across this really nice blog. The person who runs it posted some great photos of cards, blankets, and a bib that could be made by hand. The items are classy and practical. Any mom would be happy with a homemade gift like this.

And if you're tired of the going to same old baby shower over and over again, consider this Danish tradition. I wish I had told my sister about it before I threw her one.
