If I’ve said it once, I’ve said it a million times. Personalized baby gifts just rock. I was looking through a catalog that offered embroidering on all item and it just makes me gushy inside. Monogrammed diapers bags….*sigh* Makes me want to have a baby just so I can get new things.
MamaBebe.com has a ton of adorable baby keepsake gifts for you to choose from, and not just your everyday items. Camo Layettes and gifts for Mom and Dad top the list on this site too. A one stop-shop of sorts for shower, christening, or birthday gifts. They have any adorable handprint kits that lets you put the little one’s handprint on a baseball for Dad. A great Father’s Day gift if you ask me. I’m thinking about getting one to stash away should we have a little boy in the near future. You could always tuck it away in a hope chest until your son gets older and share with him the tiny size of his hand when he’s all grown up.
A fellow blogger of mine introduced me to mamabargains.com, a Web site that offers a variety of unpredictable deals. The site works differently than most retail sites. Only one deal is offered at a time and until it sells out. Items sell for 50-80% off of original retail. You must log in several times a day to see all of the offerings, which can make it either fun or frustrating, depending on how you look at it. So far, I haven’t seen any deals that I can’t live without, but I now know others who are hooked. You can check out the deals at mamabargains.com. If you have time to check out daily deals then this is the site for you.
Can you tell I’m on a Rainforest roll? If you never experienced the joy of a bouncer, you don’t know what you are missing. There is a magical allure to boucing and there have been times that I thought for sure that any said infant would surely eject themselves from the seat because they were bouncing so hard. This is much more portable than a swing and you can carry it into the bathroom while you bathe! Ingenious!
This is part of the ever awesome Rainforest collection. This soother lets you bring the peaceful serenity of a rainforest right to babys crib! A glowing waterfall has mesmerizing motion to help lull baby to sleep. The waterfall cascades gently into a pool where theres a playful, bobbling fishand plenty of bubbles for baby to enjoy! A friendly monkey and frog play peek-a-boo in the leaves, ready to keep baby company. You can choose up to 18 minutes of classical music, lullabies, or rainforest sounds for baby, with or without the soothers softly colored lights that pulse gently on and off. Includes a power/volume control and I highly recommend this. I’ve given this soother SEVERAL times for a shower gift.
What a perfect way to make your child feel special. I was searching for baby gifts for Christmas and I ran across this personalized storybook. This award-winning book includes the child’s birthdate, a printed dedication from you, and an illustrated encyclopedia of 53 animals. It’s a great way to help your child learn to recognize letters and spell their names. Definitely a treasured item guaranteed to last for generations to come!

There are so many cute owl products out there these days. This Hoot Blanket would make a perfect additional to an owl-themed nursery. Knit by hand, it features a sweet owl on one side with a soft cotton backing on the other. You can purchase one for $114 at artebebe.com. A matching sweater, cap, and booties are available too.
I’m always on the lookout for unique baby shower gifts. I love this crabby little hooded bath towel for $34.99. Forget puppies & butterflies, go with the crab. If you happen to live in an area near the beach, or if the nursery has a beachy theme, this would fit in perfectly. He’s just simply too adorable to pass up. You know you want one for your own little crab!
