Baby Bedding Sets Make The Perfect Baby Shower Gift
Do you know someone who is expecting their first bundle of joy? Are you attending an upcoming baby shower and don’t know what gift to present to the new parents to be? Don’t settle for repacking the same old boring gifts of diapers and onesies. Instead make a lasting impression and give the upcoming parents a gift that will go a long ways in helping to take care of their new child. Give the gift of baby bedding sets.
Shopping for baby clothes is cute and fun. Everyone coos and awes over tiny little booties and footed sleepers with cute little slogans on them. Sure, you might find the cutest little outfit that at first glance seems like you can’t pass up. But think again before spending all your gift money on designer clothing for the baby. After all, babies outgrow their clothing fast. Additionally parents can find great deals on designer baby clothing from boutique second hand stores who specialize in buying and selling these types of clothing. Not to mention everyone will be giving the couple baby clothing, so much so that they won’t be able to make room in the closets and dresser drawers for all of them.
A lot friends and family members consider practical gifts for first time parents. Things like diapers, bibs, bottles, and baby bath seem like excellent and useful gift ideas, and to a large extent they are. The only problem with going the practical route is that so many people also choose to give these types of gifts. As a result parents to be become inundated with scores of diapers, bottles, and pacifiers. Additionally infants tend to stick to one particular type of bottle and pacifier which can render many of these gifts more or less useless down the road. Besides, there’s no “sex appeal” in the practical gift, and you want to be eternally remembered as the cool aunt or uncle not the down to earth reasonable one.
Instead of following the herd when it comes to baby shower gift giving, why not buck the trend. Bedding is a unique, useful, and exciting gift. You might shy away from giving baby bedding as a gift because you don’t know what decorating style or theme the parents have decided on. Or maybe you don’t even know if the couple is having a boy or girl. But don’t let that stop you.
Of course the parents to be are probably going to purchase a full crib and bedding set for their new family addition. They’ll decide on a theme, whether it’s Noah’s Ark or Little Slugger and likely purchase the full nine piece bedding set including blankets, comforters, crib bumpers and the likes. And if they’re first time parents they’ll most likely stop there.
What many first time parents fail to realize is that with a newborn comes a lot of mess. Those designer or themed bedding sets are going to get spit up on, dirtied and soiled quickly. And if the parents don’t have extra bedding sets on hand they’ll likely be making a lot of midnight trips to the laundry mat. Bedding gifts, even if their primary residence ends up being the linen closet make great gifts that are likely to come in handy time and time again, taking you from aunt number two to Superauntie with all the great ideas!
If you know someone that is expecting make sure you give their new baby the perfect gift, one that is cool, useful, and one that no one else will think to give. Give your loved ones a baby bedding set as a shower gift, not only will they thank you, they’ll get miles of use out of their baby bedding before their child moves from the crib to a toddler bed and needs a whole new set of bedding – at which time Superauntie can once again come to the rescue with new superhero big boy sheets. Yeah, you’ve got this gift giving thing down.
