I'm very excited to say that I think the horrific ritual of the Jack and Jill baby shower has come and gone. I went to a couple and if that never happens again then I'll be the happier for it.
Even though I don't have to attend the blessed shower event I sometimes am asked to help with buying the baby shower gift. Additionally, as a result of writing the blog, we get asked occasionally what would be a unique gift to give(the unique part seems to be important to a lot of people). There are only three things I usually recommend:
1) The first is a sound machine. We have three boys and they are loud and the sound machine gives our youngest a chance to sleep uninterrupted. We take it on the road as well and it's not something given at baby showers too often.
2) The second is an umbrella stroller. This product is discussed in the previous post by that lousy n'er do well Gil Buckman. They're inexpensive, fun and important for people traveling, doing short trips etc.
3) Finally, my personal favorite, the Patemm Pad. We've written about this company and their products before (and one of our bloggers knows the founders through little league). They make natural, eco-friendly, round diaper changing pads. They hold a couple diapers, wipes and change of clothes, fold up nice and neat as a substitute for the big diaper bag on short trips. They are gold as a baby shower gift.
So, that's what we've got for you. If you want to forgo the dreaded diaper cake, which i think you should, enjoy these alternatives.
