Baby Shower Gift Ideas

We know we've been there before (at least us women) and we've tried to find the perfect baby shower gift. What I usually do is buy a gift from the registry and give an additional more personal gift, one the mother won't need to search in the baby shower notebook to be reminded of who gave it to her. I have come up with some unusual gifts in my life time and have been given a few too. By far, the best is a diaper cake. You roll disposable (or cloth diapers-going green lately) into circles, tie them with ribbon and decorate them to your liking. You can add upwards of 20 items baby accessories (toys, stuffed animals, rattles, wash cloths, shampoo, baby oil, etc.) and you have a unique, practical gift that the mom will surely remember YOU for.

If you are not crafty, then there are many websites out there selling these too, http://www.diapercakedepot.com/ is by far the best resource for those that need to purchase a diaper cake in a hurry. You can place your order online or over the phone.

Diaper Cake creations are very popular as gifts since the mother can use all the items on baby, nothing goes to waste.
