What to Take to That Baby Shower As a Gift

Seems like the wedding happened only yesterday. It may have. Nature takes her procedure and new human life begins. But wait. For the wedding you bought a big turbo waffle/pancake/Cuban sandwich/bagel maker. Have they used it? You haven't seen it on their counter during the 20 times you've been over since. Maybe because times are a diminutive tougher now you don't want to go so expensive. But you don't want to be cheap right? Hey. Times are tough for the parents-to-be also. They don't want fancy stuff. They (think they) know how much having and raising an infant is going to take and they'll decree for good old fashioned stuff. Hang with me because I've got a list that will make your day.

But let's talk about this shower for a minute.
Like most things in this delightful society of ours, they've gotten a little, uh... Over the top. Oh, I'm not saying that it's a bunch of women getting naked and dancing colse to a maypole in the forest - not that there's whatever wrong with that. Showers have just come to be so...so... Themey. You got your books showers, pamper mom showers, Baby Einstein showers, spas, garden tea parties where everybody wears a floppy hat just like F. Scott Fitzgerald characters (there's probably a theme shower for that too.) Or Elizabethan England or the Valkery Faeries.

Me? I like things simple
And I'll bet that most of you do too. So there's a list of simple ideas that will please your bank catalogue and the shower recipient. But hold it for another second. Let me get back to this shower scene. I read about something pretty unsettling because baby showers have been on my mind. The understanding is so unnatural I woke up at 3 am mental about it.... Are you ready for this? A shower for the dad. Ok ok. I know that some of you hip, edgy chicks out there find that endearing because you're hooked up with hip metro dudes who are sooo derive in their sexuality.

But check this out.
Somebody has got to institute this thing and request the other guys. Who's going to have the courage to do that? (Believe me. Hip metro dudes don't hang out with each other. Why? Because they make each other jealous.) Do you as a matter of fact think that Merle, Joey, Bobby, Dave, and Bubba are going to go along with that without subjecting the shower dad and the organizer to unfathomable jocular abuse?

Let me put it this way.
What if your hubby came home from work on Friday night and told you that he couldn't take you to a movie because he's going to a baby shower for Bill and everybody's going to be there. What would you think? I understanding so. Yeah, I suppose it happens but, sheesh, wouldn't you like to be a fly on the wall at that diminutive get together?

Full disclosure.
I'm a guy. as a matter of fact had you fooled didn't I? So you're request what do you know about shower gifts. Well, it turns out, plenty. You see, after each of the four kids we raised was born, I had to buy the stuff that kept the diminutive poopers clean, fed, alive, warm, and healthy. The key, my dear wife and I found, was to consolidate on what they need - because they don't want whatever . They don't want a diaper cake (that sounds disgusting ) or a theme party. They don't care about Baby Einstein. They need nurturing, love, laughter, food, a clean butt, shelter, clothes, mama's extra apparatus, and dad's willingness to convert diapers without puking.

Anything you bring to the shower should address those things - period. You're jones'n for a list because that's what these articles do.

Here's the list.
1. A six pack or two of one piece outfits. Newborn to 6 months
2. A baby song Cd
3. A case of butt cleaners
4. A blanket, that, if you're lucky, could come to be a cherished "banky".
5. A high potential stuffed animal that could come to be inseparable.
6. Some booties that go from newborn to about 8 months.
7. A half case of high potential chardonnay from Napa valley. (why not?)
8. A colorful bandanna for dad to wear colse to his face while he's using the butt cleaners on the baby.

There you have it. Simple. Down-to-earth and mum approved.
Cheers
