I know, I know, I know… after 2 kids and baby showers of my own, and a gazillion friends’ baby showers, I know you are supposed to order off a registry.  I mean, we moms need so much stuff for a new baby, and another blanket or stuffed animal is definitely going to be returned to the store for the necessities like bottles, diapers, etc.  However (and this is where I break my rule and make a recommendation), I was recently at a baby shower where the mom to be received one of the cutest and most creative baby baskets that I have ever seen.  It was a “Rockabye Baby” Rocking Horse with Plush Toy and Layette Set by One Source Gift Baskets. This wasn’t just any baby basket, but a REAL toy rocking horse. It comes with a reusable blue storage caddy sprinkled with brown and white dots and white rocking horses. Inside the caddy is a plush, rocking-horse rattle and an endearing layette in white with blue trim receiving blanket, bodysuit, bib and booties, each featuring adorable, blue, embroidered rocking-horse detail. Who would want to return this gift???!!!

The website has many other cute options too - one of my favorites being the
Bath Time Baby - Satin Edged Duckling Blanket w/ Embroidery & Baby Necessities because my 20 month  old LOVES any and all duckies.  Sorry sweet Daughter, you have enough duckies already!
