Baby Shower Games

The impending arrival of a new baby stirs up wonderful emotions. When planning a baby shower for a friend or family member, choose baby shower favors that will create a lasting impression. The best place to start your search is with your computer...finding the perfect baby shower favors is a matter of point and click.

Do you know if your friend is having a boy or a girl? Chocolate storks with pink or blue icing are an adorable choice. Of course, there is also the possibility of personalized chocolate bars, announcing the name of the new baby if the mom-to-be knows the gender. Or if things are being done the old-fashioned way, and the gender is a surprise, chocolate shower favors in the shape of baby rattles or booties work just as well.

One of the first things that I would go for is a dangling musical mobile. This is to be dangled above the crib, as an invitation to magic. Both colorful and musical, it delights the dawning senses.

It won't be too long before the baby is up and banging on things, which makes a simple colorful xylophone a perfect baby shower gift. Until they're old enough to play, you play it for them, and excite them toward the mystery of music.

If you're looking ahead a little, you can also get books to read to the child. Very small children like to be read to, and there are charming and simple books appropriate for almost every age. Personalized books make very creative gift ideas, and are sure to be a delightful surprise at a baby shower.
