Baby Shower Gift Idea – Unique and Usable! (WFMW)

What do you get for the special Mommy-to-Be or for the “I don’t know what to get them” baby gift? I always try to get a gift that is a little different, yet practical for the Mommy. What do we always need? Soft blankets and burb cloths – not ordinary ones, but extra soft and oh, so cute ones made by Bel Scriba Bakery.

Susan and Lynn have designed a cute presentation to these quality products. The sweet baby items are designed from top to bottom using only the best ingredients including a dash of happiness, a pinch of love, lots of sprinkles of sweet baby wishes and the secret ingredient of Binkeez™ and Burpeez™. The Binkeez™ are handmade, 100% cotton flannel, machine washable blankets that are 44″ x 44″, which makes them a wonderful size for swaddling the little one.

Lil Duck loved to be swaddled and was always “breaking free” if the blanket wasn’t large enough, wish we had a Binkeez then!

The Burpeez™ are handmade, 100% cotton flannel, machine washable burp clothes that are 18″ x 10″. Burpeez ™ also have a triple layer design for absorption but at the same time also provide a baby with a super soft resting place while they await that burp.

We could have used the extra size and absorption for Lil Duck also…

You can request custom embroidery and select from their wonderful “flavors” (pink, blue, neutral pastels or honey colored 100% organic). An additional “ingredients” list you can choose from are numerous, including the most adorable fluffy animals .

You will be most pleased with the cake style presentation – I am not even going to wrap the one I am ordering for an upcoming baby shower, it is too cute (see it wrapped here)! Well, you just have to see them for yourself at Bel Scriba’s Bakery!

We absolutely enjoy working with Susan and Lynn here at Lil Duck and we know you will not be disappointed with them or their product . Be sure to also check out our customizable invitations for your baby shower & see more WFMW tips here!

Rainforest Baby Shower Party Ideas & Activities

Play Rainforest Sounds Music throughout the party.
Build a tree out of colored butcher paper to designate the gift table. (Wrap brown paper around a cylinder. Leave some folds and crinkles in the paper to make it look like bark. Unfold some wire coat hangers. Cut out leaf-like shapes about 2 – 2.5 feet long (think banana trees) out of green paper and attach one leaf to the end of each wire. Stick the bare ends of the wires into the cylinder so that the wire side of the leaves are facing up and the wires are hidden. Attach a few frogs to the trunk of the tree and place on a table.
Use banana leaves (on plates) to serve food. Use dark wood or bamboo serving dishes and utensils.
Use ingredients that you would find in the rainforest – bananas, mangoes, macadamia and brazil nuts, cocoa, etc.
Use bright green colors to decorate the room, cut out photos of tree frogs, toucans & other rainforest animals to hang around the room, use green & blue balloons.
Buy inexpensive rainforest-themed fabric, then cut out squares for the table, you may even make napkins if you wish (or just cut large squares to lay on a solid green tablecloth & use dark blue napkins).

Party favors:

Use a circle cookie cutter, then cut a triangle out of one side, so it looks like a lily pad, and pipe a cute colorful frog onto each cookie. Wrap in green cellophane & tie with blue curly ribbon.
Little bags of gummy frogs
Plastic frog toys
Use a frog soap mold to make little froggy soaps or chocolates.
Foil-wrapped chocolate frogs
