Baby Shower Best Bets - Gifts to Make Moms Smile (and Aunts Jealous)

Baby Shower Best Bets - Gifts to Make Moms Smile (and Aunts Jealous)


Most mothers-to-be end up surrounded by a cornucopia of lovely gifts in the wake of their baby shower.  Invariably, all of those friends and family want to make sure that mom and baby are swimming in the latest infant raising technology (if it has batteries, it has to be good… Right?)  Of course, not everyone will bring a gift that squeals, or lights up, or lights up and squeals.  These are the folks who bring the pack and play,  the changing table,  the towels. You know, the practical baby stuff.  These people are otherwise known as future grandparents.   If you are heading to a shower sometime soon, why not be unique and impress the mother to be?  Make those other guests WISH they had an ounce of  your creativity.

Now, I've made my share of baby shower cakes, and there is always the gift basket option.  A little something for baby and a little something for mom.    There are quite a few places out there on the interwebs that offer these two alternatives pre-packaged, and with good reason as a LOT of people buy them.  However, if you want to be different and give a memorable gift,  a personalized piece of original art  is both unique and thoughtful.  It certainly shows that you're thinking outside of the little pink (or blue) box.

All over the web, artists are coming up with innovative new ways for parents to spell out their child's name, decorate their room,  and even cover up that hole in the wall dad somehow made putting the crib together.   Many of these independent children's artists inhabit websites like Etsy or have their own Yahoo Store. Many have our own sites, http://www.krankykrab.com is mine.  Sorry for the shameless plug, but a girls gotta do what a girls gotta do.   Just about anything can be personalized to match the child's name (provided they've picked one) or the overall theme of the room or nursery.  You can also find gift certificates so that after new mom and new dad decide whether it'll be John or Jon, they can send away for that memorable gift you got them.

Next on the list, how about something to spoil the new mom a little after the baby arrives, she's been through a lot after all.  If she has a particular place she like to go to get her hair or nails done, get her a gift certificate.  Don't forget about spa treatments either.  After nine months of lower back pain, mommy could use a 'Me' day.  Daddy can stay home and bond with the little one. Know what I mean?

The bottom line is, you shouldn't stress over what to get the new mom,  just put yourself in her position and think about what would make you smile.  There are a plethora of options to choose from that are original and different.  Creative and thoughtful shopping ensures you'll always find the perfect baby shower gift!

The Dashing Ba Boy Names And Ba Girl Names Of The Joyful 1950s

The Dashing Ba Boy Names And Ba Girl Names Of The Joyful 1950s

Article by Benedict Manovill

The 1950s was a decade of big achievements. The dashing baby boy names and baby girl names of the joyful 1950s reflected an atmosphere of new expectations. The bold spirit of this new era held the belief that everything was possible. The world war was over, people were free, and the country was safe again.

New parents are often influenced by events around them when they name their new babies. This is particularly true for baby girls. Baby boys are more often named after family members such as their father, grandfather, or uncle. Baby girls have more of a chance to receive wonderful, fanciful names.

Among the new names that made it to the top 10 most popular were Mark, Deborah, Donna, Karen, and Debra.

The decade of the Fifties was a time of firsts. Sir Edmund Hillary was the first climber to reach the top of Mount Everest. Jonas Salk came out with the first vaccine against polio. In 1953, scientist, Rosalind Franklin, discovered the structure of DNA - the secret of life, itself. The Soviet Union launched "Sputnik," - the first vehicle to leave earth and venture into outer space. Closer to home, the United States expanded. Alaska became the 49th state, and Hawaii, the 50th.

In the meantime, Elvis Presley was making the hearts of lovers all over the world beat faster. "Heartbreak Hotel" was playing in homes, cafes, and nightclubs everywhere. Across town, "West Side Story" was a smash hit on Broadway and people couldn't stop singing "Maria." Leonard Bernstein was at the height of his power as a composer. The song, "In the Still of the Night," soothed everyone's spirits at the end of the day. Readers thrilled in the adventures of "James Bond" in Ian Fleming's novels, while moviegoers watched the handsome spy on screen. People's love affair with cars heated up. The 1954 Aston Martin DB-3/S took everybody's breath away.

Top 10 baby boy names from 1950 to 1959, in order of popularity, were James, Michael, Robert, John, David, William, Richard, Thomas, Mark and Charles. All are Christian saints' names and all of them go back in history for centuries as the names of emperors, kings, and nobles. These handsome names stand as pillars of Western civilization.

James (English) means "steadfast;" Michael (Hebrew) means who is like God;" Robert (English) means "brilliant;" John (Hebrew) means "honorable;" David (Hebrew) means "beloved;" William (English) means "staunch protector;" Richard (Germanic) means "strong ruler;" Thomas (Greek) means "twin;" Mark (Latin) means "combative;" and Charles (German) means "well-loved."

From 1950 to 1959, the top baby girl names took a totally new turn. Moms and dads felt it was time for a big change. The second world war was over and done with. It was time to clear the decks. Why not get away from the biblical names, as well as the names of empresses and queens, to say nothing of the heroines of old books? Their babies were children of a new world. What better time than now for thoroughly modern American names and their meanings.

The baby girl names, in order of their popularity, are Mary, Linda, Patricia, Susan, Deborah, Barbara, Debra, Karen, Nancy, and Donna.

Mary (Hebrew) means "spiritual;" Linda (Spanish) means "pretty;" Patricia (Latin) means" of noble birth;" Susan (Hebrew) means "lily;" Deborah (Hebrew) means "prophetess;" Barbara (Greek) means "unusual;" Debra (Hebrew) means "prophetess;" Karen (Greek) means "pure-hearted;" Nancy (Medieval English) is a pet form of "Agnes" meaning "generous;" and Donna (Italian) means "ladylike."

The beginning of the 1950s was like a dream. There was peace and there was plenty. Everyone thought this happy state would go on and on. But it was not to be. Once again, the world was badly shaken as the Korean War and the Vietnam War ripped through people's souls.

Still, the spirit of the people did not bend. There would soon be a new president, exciting job challenges, and big achievements to lift the spirit. Children with their dashing baby boy names and baby girl names of the joyful 1950s moved into the decade of the 1960s. And, their hearts were filled with great expectations.
