Baby Shower Gifts -Something Beautiful For Mom That Will Last A Lifetime

One excellent baby shower gift that I received (at my own baby shower of course) was a "Babys First Year" Diary that I could fill in and add photos myself. It was a beautiful book and I still love it to this day. In fact it was such a beautiful baby shower idea I wanted to tell you about it.

Here is what a "Babys First Year" Diary is: a combination of a photo book, a diary and a scrap book. You can fill in details about baby as they go from newborn to sitting up, to what foods they ate, when you first changed their diaper and when they first gurgled at you for the first time. You can even take hand a foot prints of baby each month so you can see how fast they grow. Its beautiful bound and will last for years. Mom will never forget this amazingly practical and gorgeous gift. If you want, you can always share the cost of this book and ask other people going to the baby shower if they would like to contribute to this gift. Most people get stuck for good ideas and will glady give you money to go and get a baby shower gift and share the giving with you.

OK its not under $5 but for something mom can use for a lifetime and look back on this baby shower gift will be treasure and so appreciated. I highly recommend this special baby shower gift. To show you more about what I mean and what a genious baby shower gift idea this really is, I found this type of gift on this website with a photo to show you.

This is what they say:

"Wonderful handbound book made from scratch. Display a favorite photograph or title text in our new feature frame covers. The 3-1/2” square frame provides a charming format for customizing your album or keepsake archive. A keepsake that chronicles the pregnancy, birth and the first year of a child's life. The design features original illustrations and borders of whimsical and nostalgic elements from childhood: teddy bears, rattles, a rocking horse, building blocks. Journal sections include a family tree, a chart for stamping the handprint and footprint, a name history, an envelope for a lock of hair, as well as space for listing key "firsts" and "favorites". In addition, mounting spaces include the birth certificate, shower invitation, birth announcement and many first photos. 18 page count. Size: 9.5" x 9.5"
