Have a baby shower coming up? Wishpot has tons of great gift ideas for that mommy to be!
The first gift is an adorable polka dot duck bath gift set which consists of a cute rubber ducky (either blue, pink, or green!) and four matching wash cloths. Bath time is now fun with this gift!
Our second recommendation are wooden hanging letters from a baby boutique called Bel Bambini. You can get the name of the future bundle of joy and hang it up on the wall next to the crib or anywhere in the nursery.
There is no doubt any baby would enjoy our next gift idea. Keep any baby constantly engaged and intrigued by this Baby Einstein Seek and Discover Activity Gym. It is a great way to get a baby’s mind moving and keep them busy for the busy mommys!
Want to get personal? Well this is a great way to do it with a personalized “My First Nap” gift bag from Pottery Barn! It’s filled with a variety of coordinating essentials, including a microfleece blanket, a picture frame, a chamois stuffed critter toy and a chamois critter rattle.
Our last recommendation is a receiving set which comes with a blanket, sleeper, beanie, socks, and bib! You can find receiving sets at Nordstrom along with many other adorable baby gift ideas!

Baby shower baby shower baby shower…. I hear those words and I immediately see large hats and bows and pink and blue ribbons. Kim, of Lilly Lynn Events, a new mom expert shows us a way out of the traditional and into the Stylish.
Stylish Shower :: To me, black and white are such classic colors. They are great to use with a pop of color that you can throw in depending on the sex of the upcoming baby! Here is a great example of how to use the black and white with a zebra print. 
Zebra gives this look a chic elegant look but is also fun and fresh looking. You can’t be scared to mix patterns to give your parties life and boldness. I love this cake and how it is decorated. Modern patterns are such a great look for events. To me patterns and simple accents make me think chic and classic. These are the kinds of moments you will remember your entire life. Why would you want to remember streamers and tacky balloons for your baby shower?
As you are decorating the party for the baby shower, keep small color accents through out the party in pinks or blues so that you have pops of color. This is a great way to tell people what you are having but not over pink or over blue the party.
Flowers, place mats, candles, napkins, candies, and paper lanterns are all great ways to bring in a pop of color! For more ideas or help with your shower clickhere!!
I have some great food and drink ideas as well so check those out!
Thank you Kim! This Baby Shower is Styling!

Today Wishpot Mom Expert Dana of Babyluxe Daily and The Winning Pitch looks back at the Top Gift Items for 2008.
As 2008 comes to an end; I wanted to share my top favorite items I’ve purchased, reviewed, or received as gifts this year! These products all come from fabulous companies and owners so I’m sure they will be just as great in 2009, if not better!
Baby shower or hospital visit gifts:
The Baby Bunch was a new find for me this year; what an awesome concept! Flower bouquets made of infant clothing, beautiful yet practical, perfect for any new mommy!
BabyTime Bags is another recent find for me and I am in love with them! What could be better for a gift: a gorgeous carryall bag {to be used as a diaper bag of course} packed full with everything mommy will need at the hospital; this creative product will be a must have on every expectant mom’s wish list next year!
Stroller:
My all time favorite stroller for 2008 is the EasyWalker Sky Duo! I needed a double this year and the side by side Sky Duo did it for me! Lightweight, versatile, easy to use, maneuver, and comfortable for the kiddos; oh, and comes in bright, stylish colors…I’m predicting this will be my favorite for years to come!
Diaper Bag:
Zosephine has 4 of the best looking diaper bags I have ever seen. They do NOT look like regular old diaper bags and I think that’s what I like the most about them, yet they have all the features you need in a bag, whether it’s used as a carry all or a diaper bag. Mine goes with me everyday and I receive more complaints on my bag than anything else I own!
Baby Clothing:
Being in this business, you have to be a sucker for unique things. Potato Playground has that unique clothing line making it a perfect stop for a special one-of-a-kind gift for the new baby. Potato stamped clothing; every potato is different so every stamp, every piece of clothing is unique. Clever! I love it!
Parenting Book:
If you are an expectant parent or need a gift that will make the new mommy and daddy laugh til they pee, check out The Parent Trip by Jenna McCarthy! It’s honestly funny; guiding you into parenthood with humor, honesty, some clever little tips, did I say humor; who doesn’t need a laugh when you are so uncomfortable at 9 months+ pregnant?!
Baby Carrier:
At almost 7 months old, Aidan is still being worn in our Belle Baby Carrier. And he’s a chunkier little monkey yet mommy doesn’t have any back pain! I love how simple this carrier is to use, and it’s easily folded up and thrown in the diaper bag. With so many baby wearing contraptions out there, it’s nice to find one you love and stick with it!
Happy Shopping in 2009! I can not wait to see what great finds there will be next year!
