Celebration generally ensues with the announcement that a new bundle of joy is expected to join the family. Amid all the revelry also sits the need to prepare and get everything ready to welcome the little one into the home. This is one reason many will host parties that will present an opportunity for friends and family member to give baby gifts to the expectant parents and be part of the nesting process. These parties are called showers and they are a great way to include everyone in the joy of pregnancy and impending birth. They are filled with fun, infant based games, delicious food and of course gifts to fit the occasion. Generally the presents will be items that are necessary for newborn care such as diapers and sleepers, as well as larger necessities like cribs and car seats. It is not uncommon for the parents to receive several items that are either the same. With some things, such as diapers, wipes and undershirts, this is not necessarily a negative because infants go through these products like crazy. But, if one is looking to give a present that will be unique and memorable, a bit of creative thinking may need to be utilized. Finding out a few things ahead of time will provide some sort of direction in which to begin the search for the perfect gift. Knowing the sex of the child is a big help, as is being aware of the shower or nursery theme. This allows the giver to look for something that relates specifically to the infant or to the interest of its parents, which shows that a lot of thought and care went into the selection present. One does not have to go extravagant to be creative. It is simply a matter of knowing a bit about the recipients and then managing to step outside normal thinking patterns and try to relate on a personal level. Knowing if this will be the couple's first child or if they have other children is helpful, as is getting some idea as to their preferences on different areas of childcare like feeding, playing, learning and dressing. One thing that can almost always be counted on is that the new parents will be taking a lot of pictures once the little one arrives. This is a topic that yields a great number of possibilities and it will be hard to not find something wonderful. Digital and traditional frames are great choices as are gift certificates to have the child's portraits taken with a professional photographer or local studio. Anything sentimental or that preserves a memory is also sure to be a big hit. There are several kits available that help parents take impressions of their child's hands and feet, printed in ink or pressed in clay, to save forever. Others can provide the opportunity to save favorite photos on coffee mugs, decorative plates, ornaments or any number of things that will be cherished for years.
