Dont wnt to looka twat, but when I had my kids baby showers were unheard of. The work colleagues had a wip round and you got a baby bath full of Johnson goodies!!!! Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.......

I went to one recently and took a toy for the baby. 90% of the gifts would have been toys or clothes, one person also brought a 'baby proof your home' kit.

Baby shower sounds ace! I agree with everyone else really, take a drink a pressie for mom and a pressie for baby. I think a pampering treat for mom would be nice.

However don't do what I did - get hammered at my brothers wedding whilst breastfeeding a 4 month old and then have to cope with vinegar smelling nappies for the next 2 days :scared: Natures payback I guess

My midwife thought I was mad tipping it away, she was saying 'give it him he'll be fine' - thankfully he had a good 8 hours that night

Re: What do I take??????????
All ready to go tommorrow with my gifts all wrapped.
Bottle of white wine, (not for me as I hate the stuff, just being polite!!!!)
A beautiful picture frame for bubbs, 5 frames in one somehow.....abstracty...if you get my jist, with 'My First year' engraved accros the top. Sounds a bit naff but honestly its nice. Also a 6 piece baby outfit set.
I bought for mum AND dad. they have quite a modern house so I bought this ornament thingy. Its a bit like a clay like model (sort of thing a kiddy will do) and it is of a man and woman, holding each other, whilst at the same time the man is holding a new born baby. Its modern art, the heads have no faces and it is in a beigey. browny colour. Sounds a bit naff again, but its really nice. And it is called......'A New Life'
