What could possibly be a more personalized baby gift than a homemade baby gift basket? One way to make it special is by selecting baby gifts specifically for the new bundle of joy. This is a beautiful and useful gift for a baby shower, christening, or to take with you when you go to visit the precious new baby. A baby gift basket overflowing with beautiful and functional baby things that will be appreciated by the new parents.
The ideal baby gift basket would be attractive as well as functional. In order to create your ideal gift basket, it’s a good idea to do a little planning first. Would you prefer to make your gift basket with baby gifts that indicate a special baby theme or color? If the gift basket is for a baby shower gift and you don’t know the gender of the baby, select a white wicker basket as the container. The new mommy will find many uses for this type of container.
To create a baby gift basket using a wicker basket as the container begin the assembly process by placing a large package of disposable diapers, a container of baby wipes, a baby blanket or quilt, receiving blankets, crib sheets, a baby pillow, or baby bath towels in the bottom of the basket. Place smaller baby gifts, rattles, and plush toys on the top to give your finished gift basket a decorative look.
Another useful container is a baby tote bag. Place larger items in the bottom and more decorative gifts sticking out the top of the tote bag. Instead of zipping the tote bag closed, roll pretty receiving blankets, crib sheets, or baby bath towels and place them into the bag so they stick out the top. Place cute little rattles, plush toys, or other small baby gifts between the rolled items. Include a gift for the new mommy — a scented candle, bath salts, or body lotion.
A baby bath theme makes a useful and practical gift. It’s a great idea for a baby shower gift when you are unsure of the baby’s gender. Choose an infant bath tub or bath seat, line it with a hooded bath towel and baby wash cloths or a hooded bath robe. Include bath toys or necessities such as baby soap, tearless shampoo, bubble bath, a hair brush, and comb. Don’t forget the rubber ducky!
If you prefer to create a baby gift basket that is more unusual, a baby book theme is a nice idea. For a more professional look, place pastel pink, blue, or yellow purchased shred in a wicker basket; this will also help you place the gift items so that they stay in place. Add soft baby books, timeless classics, and a couple of more contemporary books — Sesame Street, Barney, or Blue’s Clues. Include soft baby blocks, a CD of lullabies, or a Baby Einstein DVD. A nice touch is to add a baby theme photo frame or a “brag book” for the new parents.
Tips For Making A Baby Gift Basket:
Wrap some of the gifts in tissue paper and tie with thin satin ribbon before placing in the gift basket.
Choose items that are safe for babies. Bath products should be gentle and tearless. Sleepwear should be flame retardant. All toys should have suggested ages.
Ideally, your finished baby gift basket will appear to be overflowing with gifts, so keep that in mind when you choose a container. Fill in empty spaces with purchased shred.

Review our important tips for safe products and toys before giving your baby any toys or products which may cause harm. Picking out the items on your baby registry is a lot of fun, but make sure to choose items that are safe for your baby too:
- Using one piece pacifiers eliminates the risk of the pieces coming apart which is a choking hazard. In addition, one piece pacifiers are easier to clean.
- Never attach pacifiers to a string, rope, or ribbon to prevent accidental strangulation.
- Inspect pacifiers and nipples often to ensure their integrity.
- Ensure clothing does not contain drawstrings since this is a potential strangulation hazard.
- Ensure that toys, clothing and other baby products do not contain small parts that can be removed and become potential choking hazards. If you are unsure, use the toilet paper roll test to check for potential choking hazards. Take the item in question and see if it can fit through an empty toilet paper roll. If it can, it’s a choking hazard.
- Provide age-appropriate toys.
- Inspect toys and other products that come in contact with your baby frequently for damage, potential choking hazards, and potential strangulation hazards.
- Do not use toys made prior to 1978 since these items may contain lead-based paint.
- Monitor for toy and baby product recalls.
- Research and review toy and product safety ratings before purchasing.
All the cute baby items are so tempting, it’s easy to get carried away. Just remember to put safety and function before style and you’ll do just fine!

how do you clean your babies toys?
how do you clean them and what do you clean them with?
do you clean them everyday?
Clorox Anywhere spray is the BEST, it’s color-free(won’t bleach anything) , and is completely safe to use around kids, and pets. I use it on everything, and it’s really nice to just give a quick spray down on my kid’s toys, especially their little play food that is ALWAYS in the mouth. I clean them about once every few weeks.

How do I get toy marks off my baby doll’s head?
The toy marks when a toy rubs against another or scratches. My doll’s head has black marks that won’t wash off or go away. I’m using acne medicine that I saw another woman use, but it’s not working. Please help!
Thanks guys! Were going to buy some magic erasers this weekend 
Eek, wash off the acne cream!
It does work in conjunction with sunfading.. Basically, you put on the acne cream, cover over the unmarked areas to protect them and then let it sit in the sun for weeks.
The drawback? Sometimes the acne cream keeps fading for a LOT longer then you want it to. I have a my little pony I bought on Ebay that someone used acne cream on. When I got her, she looked lovely and mark free. Now, about 6 months later, she has a huge faded blotch on her. Sure enough, the previous owner used acne cream to remove a small pen mark and it’s still fading where it was used..
I use a “Magic Eraser” I believe they are made by Mr Clean. They are sold in small boxes with a couple sponges in each one for a few dollars. Basically, if a mark doesn’t come off with Magic Eraser, then it’s not going to come off.
Be careful around any painted surfaces though! Generally the skintone of most plastic doll is from dyed plastic. However, things like blush, freckles, eyes and lipstick are painted on later. Those things will rub off if you rub them with a magic eraser.

Adorable newborn babies are indeed a wonderful blessing to the family. But before they arrive, there are several preparation the parents should consider, and maybe their entire family and friends. The family and friends of the parents-to-be, as a tradition, are those who should be responsible in throwing a baby shower. Baby shower is a fun and memorable time for the parents-to-be. Baby showers are usually given before or after the baby is born but in some countries this party is not celebrated until the baby is born. This celebration will be incomplete without gifts for the baby. By convention, a baby shower is intended to help parents get items that they need for their child.
For the guests, the first few they will think after hearing a baby shower party are diapers, baby clothes and wipes. These things may seem to sound traditional gifts but they can be very helpful. Although you can never get enough of them, but there other items you can add to them. Raising a baby is really a tough job and obviously it requires a lot of basic baby supplies to use, therefore, buying such supplies in bulk can be sometimes helpful.
If you want to give a baby gift that is within the limit of your budget, you can purchase diapers and wipes at wholesale stores. This can make a great gift that doesn’t cost that much. Just be aware of the size, so get a size one or two. You can also purchase wipes as many as you like. Buying wipes by the boxes ables the parents to refill the tub when its empty.
Aside from diapers and wipes, baby clothing can also make a great baby shower gift for the child. Adorable little outfits are always a hit during shower and birthday parties. You can make a bit of change by not just getting blue or pink clothes. Today, there are so many cute designs for baby girls and boys. But make sure also to get a bigger size for babies are growing so fast. The same thing you should think when buying blankets, socks, hats and all those other things.
Another basic essentials you can give are bathing supplies, such as baby shampoo, soap, lotion, soft towels, baby bath toys and others. You can never go wrong with pampering gifts. Other safe choice are personalized baby gifts. They are not only safe to give, but they can truly make a memorable gift for the child. There are so many personalized baby supplies available in the market. They come in different variety of styles, designs and colors. You can find personalized baby blankets, clothing, furnitures, toys and even baby shower supplies such as baby shower favors, shower invitations and baby shower decorations. These are what baby shower and shower gifts are all about. Each of these pieces can give a great help in the future, so parents can really concentrate on taking care of that little bundle of joy. Therefore, giving such wonderful gifts they need is a simple means of showing how you care for them.

With the stock market performing so poorly this year, many people who have no experience are getting interested in learning about stocks. They have probably heard that is good to buy stocks when they are low and sell them when they are high. With all the bad news of the stock market going down seemingly day after day, these beginners are now becoming interested in getting involved.
Once a beginner learns how to buy a stock, the next step is to try to figure out what stocks to buy. Where does one get that kind of information or opinion? You can get stock pics almost everywhere including magazines, TV shows, radio shows, The Internet and probably many other places as well. One thing is for sure, there is no shortage of opinions.
If you watch the financial TV shows, you will often see segments with the top analysts or “experts” where they give their stock tips. These experts might be asked to analyze certain stocks or to give their own stock pics. It seems to me that most of the time these so called stock market gurus are positive about most stocks. There are exeptions but rarely do you find an analyst come on and say that he would not be buying any stock and that now is not the time to invest.
These stock analysts are often the representatives for their company that the public sees and so they don’t want to be negative. It is so much harder to drum up business with a negative outlook than it is if you have a positive rosy outlook. It seems to me that these analysts are told to go out there and paint the most positive picture you can about the market. For example, “the market might be bad right now but it will turn around and these are the stocks you want to own when it does”.
Learning how to do some of your own research and not listen exclusively to the experts is perhaps the hardest part of investing. If you are going to do things right, you do need to learn how to form your own opinions and research stocks on your own. If you buy every stock a guru says is a winner, you will soon find that they aren’t right much more than someone who picks stocks by throwing darts.
If you are a beginner looking to buy stocks and learn, it is wise advice to proceed slowly and not believe everything you hear. These stock analysts are professional salesman and can make the worst stock in the world look like a screaming buy. It is your money and not theirs so be careful with it.

What can I give the dad-to-be at a couples baby shower?
I’m throwing a baby shower for my brother and his wife. It’s a couples shower. I’m buying some lotions and stuff for the mom-to-be from burts bees baby line, since I know she’d like it. But I would like to get my brother something too, that he will appreciate. I don’t want it to be something really expensive because we are already spending a lot on the shower. Does anyone have any suggestions?
And just some additional info: They are not registering anywhere so I can’t just pick something off their list. And they’ve asked that no one buy them blankets, clothes, or soft toys, etc. (Long story) They also want to pick out their own crib, carseat, moniters, etc etc. So I’m looking for something kind of unique that would be more appreciated by dad than mom.
Thanks in advance!
good ideas so far!
To answer a few questions: They are not going to find out the sex of the baby and it is their first.
My husband (a new dad) received the book Be Prepared: A Practical Handbook for New Dads by Gary Greenburg. It’s a useful and humorous book. He’s enjoyed reading it, so I would recommend it or a similar daddy guidebook.
Another suggestion, a children’s book (or books) that your brother enjoyed. That way, he can read it to the new baby.

Should Darts become an olympic event?
They say its not skilled enough but they have arhcery and shooting, which in a way are similar. Both have to hit a target, at least in darts you need “sights” and “scopes”
Besides i think the atmosphere would be brilliant
Moonpig..how do you explain shot-putters?
And dart players do train for hours a day, if it was that easy then why not take on the world yourself
Yeah, but only if it’s gonna include beer drinking and smag folking.

How concerned should you be bringing your baby to playdates where all the kids share toys?
and put the toys in their mouths? i dont want to be over paranoid and shelter him but I’m just grossed out. and how do you handle other kids taking your babies toys..and dont want to seem selfish but I’m afraid I won’t see them again
he is 8 months old
This is kind of a tough question since you definitely don’t want to offend the other parent(s), with whom you setup the playdates with.
I’m not sure about just how bad it is bacteria-wise, but the best thing I can say is to clean the toys before & after use.
Try bringing toys that aren’t furry or soft, as these things would probably collect more saliva and schmutz on them.
Perhaps plastic toys would help?
