“Did you hear she’s expecting?”

“Oh, how exciting! We have to throw her a baby shower! We can organize games,”

Look no further than BabyBox.com for lots of fabulous ideas for baby shower games. With ideas ranging from an Alphabetical Baby Word Game to Stork Bingo and Nursery Rhyming to the old stand-by of the Dirty Diaper, you won’t have to strain your brain thinking of fun things to do with your guests.

“and pick up party favors…”

Like these “Baby is Brewing” baby shower favor coffee kit w/ heart scoops set. This favor is just what mom will need as well, with its special “hearty” blend that is sure to help after all those sleepless nights. A great way to get the morning started! Each glossy white pouch contains 2 ounces of flavorful coffee and comes with a chrome heart-shaped coffee scoop that can be attached with the white organza ribbon.

“Plus, think of the food we can serve,”

Babybox.com has recipes for savory finger foods like watercress sandwiches, gruyere parmesan puffs and smoked salmon canapés, amongst other things. Or if you prefer, peruse our muffins, cakes and cookies page. Drinks are always nice as well, and the soon-to-be Mommy will have to pass on champagne toasts, so perhaps one of these beverage ideas might work?

“But did you hear the other part of the news? She’s expecting twins!”

“Twice the fun! Let’s go shopping!”

LUXURY TWINS GIFT BASKET

Watching all the birds sitting on their nests has me in mind of babies today. I love the Springtime for its sense of renewal that it brings! And it is no surprise that we love babies at Babybox.com. So let’s celebrate babies today with a few ideas for what to give to some of the new arrivals to the world.

Give the gift of a baby gift basket and make any new mom or dad very happy. For that reason, we have put together a collection of some wonderful baby items and placed them all together in a canvas crate than can be personalized with a baby’s first name or classic “baby”. Not only will the contents be a welcome surprise to any new or expectant mom, but the canvas crate can be used again and again. This sturdy stainless steel frame is covered with canvas and is perfect for toys, book or just about anything.

This 100% cotton baby layette set is a wonderful present for a new baby – an instant wardrobe in one box. These baby essentials are made with the world’s softest cotton and carry an adorable pink dot print throughout. You can never have enough baby onesies and we have conveniently included three sizes within each set for growing babies. A matching beanie hat, bib and cotton receiving blanket complete this set.

Our luxurious baby play mat in white is made with micro-suede fabric and generously padded for soft landings and sound napping. The play mat is designed to avoid fabric bunching beneath the baby’s face during “tummy time,” making it a perfect lounge spot for infants and pre-crawlers. Choose from various embroidery colors and monogram style of your choice. The play mat measures approximately 36 x 56 inches. It makes a great nap map for a toddler and it also fits as a perfect overlay to protect sumptuous crib-size or toddler bedding. Each mat comes with a cinch-tie bag for toting on the go. Machine wash gentle cycle, tumble dry low (baby tested for stain resistance to general baby drool, spit-up and the like… washes up like new).

There are few gifts as timeless and classic as a silver baby cup. This is the perfect gift to celebrate a new baby or christening. This sterling cup has an adorable bear at the center and can be personalized as well for an additional fee. This cup will become a family keepsake and be cherished for years to come.

One last thing that every new baby needs is their very own stuffed animal. This friendly, cuddly, easy-to catch monkey is hard to put down. Full of endearing character, and infinitely poseable, he will soon become your best friend. He is made of a soft cuddly polyester and enhanced with a partially bean filled body. Perfect for your brand new monkey to the family.

Ahh, we love babies! Celebrate the new ones in your life today.

I know that everyone is out shopping and fighting through the crowds right now. The malls are packed and the parking lots are enough to put you on Santa’s naughty list for several years to come as you weave in and out looking for that spot closest to the door. You fly by Santa in his red and green throne, but don’t you just want to stop and go over to hug that big guy? Maybe ask him to pretty please turn back the clock, so that you can be 6 again and wish upon a star? Or at least not have to stand in line a dozen deep to get that very last iPad for your teenage son, before whisking off to the grocery store to snag fixings for cookies and a gingerbread house that you will never have time to actually make?

For the musically inclined, Schoenhut’s® bright red, 18-key tabletop is the perfect choice for a toddler’s first piano. (Also available, in classic white). Both fun and educational. It is an ideal instrument to use for developing eye-hand coordination and encouraging musical creativity. Chromatically tuned, the lovely chime-like notes are produced by little hammers striking precision-ground, German steel music rods (versus the conventional taut wires used in full-sized models). Schoenhut’s® patented Learning System, with its play-by-color teaching method, makes playing simple and fun. A removable color strip fits behind the keys to guide small fingers from chord to chord. The chart also works on adult keyboards, since keys on Schoenhut® toy pianos are of corresponding width. This teaches children proper “finger stretch” from the very beginning. The accompanying Songbook contains a collection of familiar tunes. This Learning System has been specially designed to build a child’s confidence and develop basic playing skills.

There are many other gift ideas to be found at Babybox.com. Start in our Baby’s First Christmas section, but don’t hesitate to browse around to see what else we have. Good luck and happy shopping! Oh, and just to let you know, we have a holiday special on right now;

It is one of the most exciting times in a young woman’s life; a first pregnancy. Anticipation is felt in every swish and kick of the little life that is busy growing in her belly. You can see the glow in her eyes, as she dreams and plans for the future. Everyone around her can see it and feel it. As the days pass and her mid-section grows, the pampering mounts, until it peaks with the baby shower. Of course, baby’s arrival will see a whole new set of love pour forth, but this is a wonderful time to start presenting gifts to the new baby to come. So break out the balloons, round up some games and order the cake. It is time to spoil the new Mama to be.

Before anyone even gets there, some planning needs to occur. While gifts for Mom and baby will be arriving by the droves, it is nice to have a few things for the guests at the shower. This enchanted baby shower favor is reminiscent of centuries past, the arrival of a beautiful coach often brought with it the mystery of its contents. In fairy tales, the captivating carriage brought beautifully attired people to the ball. In our “Enchanted Carriage” Favor Boxes, you decide the wonderful surprise these elegant coaches bring to your guests. Fill them with chocolates, Jordan almonds, cinnamon hearts or whatever your heart desires.

The guests might have some questions about what the new Mama needs. With so many choices available, why not try a gift basket? Give the gift of a baby gift basket and make any new mom or dad very happy. Babybox has put together a collection of some wonderful baby items and placed them all together in a canvas crate than can be personalized with a baby’s first name or classic “baby”. Not only will the contents be a welcome surprise to any new or expectant mom, but the canvas crate can be used again and again. This sturdy stainless steel frame is covered with canvas and is perfect for toys, book or just about anything. You can feel confidant that your gift will be appreciated and well loved.

Everyone is buying for the baby, so why not buy a special gift for Mom? The Peakcock Market Sling is a favorite of chic moms everywhere. The simplified design – one seamless piece of fabric without buckles, belts or straps—is snug, sleek and easy to wear. The inside lining, made from super-soft brushed 100% organic jersey cotton, is gentle against baby’s delicate skin. Not only are they beautiful, but our slings are practical too: just toss in the washing machine and they get better looking with every wash.

Of course we all know that once baby arrives nothing is certain, but one thing; Poop! Yes, the darling angels will sleep and eat on their own schedules, regardless of Mom and Dad’s wishes and wants. Prayers for schedules to one day match theirs can often seem like pipe dreams, but diapers are a mainstay for a long time to come. A gift of this elegant diaper cake, might elicit laughter, but you know the appreciation will be a certainty. Bloomers Baby Diaper Cakes offer a fresh, simple and modern design and are offered in a variety of styles/colors and sizes. All cakes arrive on a silver scalloped cake platter, are decorated with silk flowers of your choice, and topped with a lovely porcelain “abc” baby block before being wrapped in white tulle, tied with a satin bow, and secured with an old-fashioned diaper pin. When you present this beautiful and very practical gift you know that your gift is the topping on the cake of a wonderful and very special day in the expectant woman’s life.  Her baby shower will be remembered for a long time to come.
