Trying to decide on what type of gift to get my pregnant friend

by

I just found out earlier this week that a close friend from work is expecting a baby in the Fall. I’m really happy for her as she’s wanted to have a baby for a long time.

I know it’s kind of early for gifts, but I’d like to get her a mother to be gift now … just to show her that I’m in her corner and that I’m excited for her and her husband.

My big dilemma is whether to get her a gift just for her – something that she can use to pamper herself now, or to get her a gift that she can use when the baby comes in the Fall. Hmmm … What to do, what to do …

If you were just fairly newly pregnant would you want a present for yourself right now or would you want a present for your baby? I mean … in a few months she’s definitely going to have a couple of very big baby showers from the people at work and all of our friends … I think I’m leaning towards getting her a personal gift.

Looking for Free Baby Coupons? Read This Review and Learn How You Can Obtain Them Now!

by



There is nothing more exciting and precious as a newborn baby, though they grow up really fast, and when it comes down to shopping for them, it can cost a hefty sum of money for new moms and dads. But who would put a price tag on a tiny little angel, there’s nothing more rewarding than shopping for baby items. Especially when you have a free Babies R Us gift worth $50 or more to spend as you wish! You can find other great online sites offering reasonably priced deals on baby items.


But even better, this is one of the few times companies are eager to hand out free things when someone is having a baby!  Offering free baby coupons is perhaps the easiest way for companies to also test their products too. A vast majority of people tend to buy baby products that they had first got as free stuff.

Familiar with the online term “freebies”? It simply means that some type of physical item can be acquired and delivered to your doorstep for free and at no cost to you. Or it can be a service that you would normally have to pay for, but instead it is offered to you for free. When you see words like freebies, these are generally samples of well known products or a freebie can also be described as a product you receive after purchase by mailing back a UPC code of some sort. But in most cases, shipping and handling charges are not free and you will have to cover that small cost.

This is why receiving free baby product samples is so attractive in itself. If you are a struggling mom, then honestly, this is what I call a guilt free hand out when receiving a mailbox full of free baby goodies, especially knowing you didn’t have to pay a nickel for none of it!  Given the unfavorable economic hardship at this time, you might be trying to curb your spending habits and find other ways in saving money on baby diapers, milk, etc.  I can attest that I watch every dime I spend!

You will be amazed at how much free and fabulous baby products you’ll receive in the mail including things like:

– Free baby food
– Free diapers
– Free baby bibs
– Free baby wipes
– Free discount coupons and more

It’s not secret that our babies are our pride and joy, and it is always nice to receive free baby products like product samples from time to time as well! Receiving baby freebies can really help when your money is tight too!

At this point, all that is left for you to do is sign up with several freebie sites, particularly those that offer free baby stuff and take advantage of the free offers. Happy freebie hunting!

New Baby Blankets for New Babies

by

It’s becoming far too common to hear about infants who have born into difficult circumstances. If the mother has struggled with drug addiction, or the baby suffered during the delivery and has serious health concerns we often feel as though we wish there was something we could do to help. Thankfully there are many organizations that are now initiating blankets for babies which collect new blankets for deserving infants .

It’s not only children who have suffered some trauma during delivery that are in need of the comfort and security of having a blanket of their own. Infants who have been born into families that have limited monetary resources also can benefit with a blankets for babies campaign.

If you can’t find one of these organizations in existence in your local area, consider visiting the hospital where you live. Quite often a hospital with a maternity wing will gladly collect blankets for babies . Some will be used on premature and full-term infants during their stay after birth others will be given to mothers who are less fortunate.

Another way to get involved is to take up the cause. Almost every charity including those focused on children are looking for volunteers. Inquire about what you can do to help and be prepared to hit the pavement in search of blankets for babies. Helping in this first-hand way will give you the satisfaction of knowing that you are doing everything within your power to get blankets for babies who truly need them. You’ll feel good about your efforts knowing that you’ve helped improve the life of a little one.

For most of us though, it is a real joy picking out baby blankets for boys and girls . Some women take it a step farther and decide to give a handmade touch to their contribution. Many people are skilled in the crafts of quilting, knitting and crocheting. A baby blanket is a chance to give that same comfort to someone else. If you pick up the perfect blanket for a baby, you can be sure that it will be remembered for their whole life.

Making blankets for babies by hand and then donating makes for a lovely gesture. Imagine the joy in the face of a mother who can’t afford a special blanket for her baby to be given something handmade with love.

The knit blanket is one of my favorite type of baby blankets. The knit or crocheted blanket blanket for babies are classics. They are thin, comfortable, warm and safe.
