A memorable baby birthday

1. A memorable baby birthday A memorable baby birthday You've been invited to the baby's first birthday and haven't the foggiest idea what to take for the baby? Not to worry. We've created a list of unique and useful gifts that will be appreciated by the parents. Read on. During a survey conducted over a two year span and covering 114 baby first birthday parties, you might be amazed to know we found that roughly 50% of the invitees bought baby hampers containing the same three or four assorted items, another 30% bought diaper and nappy sets, 19% bought soft toys and only 1% bought some unique personalised item for the baby or its parents. Consequently, the baby's parents ended up with loads of baby powder, soaps, diapers, feeding bottles and baby suits suitable for one year olds. With so much of each type of baby use products, the one-year-old baby's parents either end up wasting most of it (using a couple of times before discarding), or simply dumping it because the child had quickly outgrown the need for the item. The long and short of the story is that there is a lot of wastage. Cary instead something that is unique, is useful and would be highly appreciated. Even though the party is for the one year old, you do not have to necessarily carry something for the baby – you could buy a gift for the parents instead. Monogrammed bath towels or bathrobes for instance. If the baby is named “Cinderella”, you could monogram “Cinderella's dad” and “Cinderella's mom” on the bath robes. If you decide to gift the parents rather than the one-year old child, then sky is the limit. There's no shortage of ideas and items you could gift. But ideally, it should be something connected with the baby – think practical deodorants and air-fresheners included. If you're thinking for gifting the one year old birthday girl or birthday boy something, think

The parent could alternately read the child a story while giving it a bath or select a nursery rhyme or song from the waterproof mp3 player. A child's waterproof camera is also a wonderful gifting idea. These cameras while highly functional have a toy like appearance and colour – something the kids love and insists photographed with this camera. The camera has a sturdy build and can take a on being few knocks while still delivering the perfect snapshot. While on the topic of camera's you could also buy a nice picture frame or two. With a new one year kid in the house, the parents tend to take lots of photos and a nice picture frame or two would be quite handy and much appreciated as would a photo album.
