The Baby Girl Gift Set: Ideas To Include

March 4th, 2009, Posted in Babies

So of course you can always go out and buy a baby girl gift set, but what about making your own? This way it is much more personalized and perfect for the person that you are buying. This will show that you took the time and really put some thought into your gift so it will go over that much better.

There are lots of great ideas for what you can include in your baby girl gift set, but here are a few of the very best.

Ideas

When it comes to creating a baby clothes gift set, clothing is one of the number one things that parents are going to need. Especially when they are just newborn, babies go through a lot of clothing. Even with bibs on they will likely need a couple of clothing changes each day, so it is a great idea to include at least some clothing in your baby girl gift set.

Toys are another great idea of what to include in your baby girl gift set. Just make sure if you are buying for a newborn baby that the toys you choose are soft and cuddly, and will not have anything hard on them that could hurt the baby. After all, all newborns are not able to control their hands and so they will probably end up hitting themselves with the toys.

As long as there is nothing hard on them you really won’t have to worry about them getting hurt. You should also take the tags off if there are any, so that the baby will not gum them off and get them caught in their mouth. Really you just need to make sure that you take all the precautions you can when it comes to toys and other gifts for baby.

Baby lotions, creams, shampoos and other bath items are all great ideas too. But don’t forget about mom and dad when you are making up your baby girl gift set. Maybe a super fashionable diaper bag for mom or some gift certificates for dad, it will really help if you know the couple well because you will have a better idea of what the different things are that they could really use.

Try to avoid getting gifts that you know they already have or expect them to get. Helping to welcome a new baby into the world is a great thing and something that you should definitely want to be a part of.

Where To Find The Perfect Personalized Baby Girl Gift

March 2nd, 2009, Posted in Babies

There are great varieties of baby gifts that can be baby girl or baby boy gifts that are personalized.Personalized baby girl gifts are usually similar to the baby boy gifts but are made in lots of different colors as well as the clothing being in lace and frills rather than little overalls or shirts.There are shops that are specialized in personal gifts for babies as well as for other special occasions.It is great fun to choose the type of gift and then have it personalized for a baby girl.

Types of Gifts

Some personalized baby girl gifts are often done by embroidery.  A popular creative baby gift is to choose a baby blanket that is the perfect color and style, such as a satiny soft baby blanket or a fuzzy plush one.  Then the baby blanket can be taken to an embroidery shop to have the baby’s name and possibly a saying or Bible verse embroidered onto it.The exact same process can be done for baby clothing and bibs where the child's name is embroidered onto it. One popular piece of clothing that is embroidered for a personalized baby girl gift is the baptism or baby dedication dress, which is usually a lacey white dress and sometimes a bonnet.

Another type of personalized baby girl gift is to have a piggy bank that is decorated with flowers or other cute scrollwork and have the baby’s name written on it as well.  Other decorative items for the baby’s first nursery are also popular personalized baby girl gifts such as a diaper bag, growth chart or stool so that the baby’s name is written on it, usually with some other form of decoration.  Picture frames and photo albums an also be decorated with lace and the baby’s name and picture so that it can be used to store all of the baby’s first moments from day one.

There are also other personalized baby girl gifts that are fun to buy or make from scratch.  For those who are more artistic, there are framed poems for the baby, or framing the meaning of the baby’s name in a decorative writing with designs or patterns around it.  Some other individuals who are good at cross stitching, there are many different patterns that can be made and personalized with the baby’s name so that it can be framed and hung on the nursery wall.  There are also jewelry options for personalized baby girl gifts such as a bracelet with the name of the baby or a locket with their initials on it.

Putting Together A Brand New Baby Girl Gift Basket

March 1st, 2009, Posted in Babies

If you are thinking of a new arrival baby gift, you may have thought to put together a gift basket for the baby and also the new mom. If the baby is a girl, then you need to put together a new baby girl gift basket. There are some essentials and optional items that you should put in this new baby girl gift basket that you are making.

Essential Items For The Gift Basket

There are quite a few essential items that you can put in the new baby girl gift basket. First, find some bibs. New parents do not realize just how many bibs they will go through a day with a new baby. Since the baby is a little baby girl, you can find some super cute, pink, frilly baby girl bibs to put in the new baby girl gift basket. Along these same lines, make sure that you put a bunch of receiving blankets in the new baby girl gift basket. These work much better than burp clothes, but make sure to tell the new parents that they were put in the basket as burp clothes!

The second set of essential items that you should put in the new baby girl gift basket has got to do with feeding. If you know that the new mom is breastfeeding, there are a fair few items you can put in the basket. First, look for some breastfeeding friendly binkies or pacifiers. These will be long and shaped like a finger instead of the heart shaped versions. Second, look for some breastfeeding friendly bottles. These are normally quite expensive and you can really help the new mom out by purchasing some for her. Finally, find some good nipple cream and breast pads for the new mom’s comfort. If you know that she is formula feeding, you can also put feeding items in the new baby girl gift basket. Look for bottles, pacifiers, and even gift cards for places that sell formula. It is not recommended that you purchase any formula because each baby is different and might need a different formula than the one you purchase.

Non Essential Items For The Gift basket

There are many, many non essential items that you can put in the new baby girl gift basket. You can look for some cute girly clothes, some baby toys, or larger sized diapers for when the baby gets bigger. Walk around the baby section at the store and chances are you will find a non essential item or two to throw in the basket!

Maya 4 Piece Infant Bedding Sets

October 16th, 2008, Posted in Babies

We had nothing else to do yesterday, so we decided we’d better go pick out the crib bedding. Nothing too difficult, I thought, since we already knew we were going with a brown and pink theme. Going to a store and looking a handful of options wasn’t going to take more than an hour, was it? There was just one little problem - the store we went to didn’t sell baby bedding LOL. The next store had baby bedding. They even had brown and blue bedding. They just didn’t have brown and pink. I thought that was strange, because I was certain that brown and pink were hot nursery colors. I couldn’t believe it when even the third store we visited didn’t have what we wanted. So we went home and checked online - did a quick search for ‘brown and pink baby bedding’, and immediately found something we liked: the Maya 4pc baby bedding set. So of course the first thing Jack said after that was, “Why didn’t you do this in the first place???” :)

If you’re curious, here’s the description of the bedding:

Why is it that babies get the coolest stuff? This funky, hip crib set with polka dots and stripes presents a modern take on the “pretty in pink” standard for little girls. This Maya baby girl bedding collection includes a pretty solid pink color in the softest velour material along with striking 100% cotton twill material with bold stripes of pink, caramel, chocolate brown and white. The polka dot material is 100% cotton percale pink with chocolate brown dots. The solid chocolate brown and caramel colors are 100% polyester material. The coverlet which is perfect for keeping babies warm is a striking patchwork of all the different materials – stripes, polka dots and solids. The ultra suede brown trim perfectly sets off the look. The crib bumper comes in four separate pieces and is encased in a removable slip cover that incorporates both the stripes and polka dots and highlighted beautifully with the brown suede trim. The best part is the slip covers can be washed and replaced with ease! The crib skirt incorporating all of the pretty in pink and chocolate brown colors and patterns is the final touch on an overall charming bedding set, perfect for baby girls.
