Baby's Bathtime
Theme Your Gift : Baby Bath and Body Gift Theme
To the dismay of many a new parent, their sweet little love bug requires more care and cleaning then expected. Help keep baby clean, happy, and healthy with selections from our Baby Bath and Body Gift Theme.
Babies outgrow those cute little newborn onesies so quickly, but diapers and wipes will be a part of their life for several years. There are so many options these days that it is hard to choose. Having a few different options to try can help mom and dad make the best of this inevitable mess. Cloth diapers are no longer just the white rectangles your grandma used. Now they come in fleece, wool, plush flannel, in cute colors with snaps and fasteners. They are easy to wash or parents can sign up for a diaper service. Disposables include the well known grocery store brands but also chlorine-free, biodegradable and even flushable variations. Find out which way new parents want to go and then give them a diaper cake, starter set or package of the appropriate kind. Remember sizing is based on weight. Go bigger if in doubt since baby will grow into them.
Tender new skin can get dried out, sunburned, or sting from that infamous diaper rash. Pick from a whole variety of baby creams, lotions, powders, and shampoos to keep baby clean and safe. Soothe baby’s bottom with organic diaper rash cream. Use baby sunscreen to protect that delicate little face. Extra mild shampoo keeps that downy hair soft. Most of your favorite adult brands make custom options for your beautiful baby and are an inexpensive and thoughtful gift.
Splish, splash, let’s take a bath! Bath tubs and toys make bath time much more fun for everyone. There are cute little critters that squirt water, tubs that let parents know when the temperature is just right and are easy to clean, waterproof floating books, pirate ships, measuring cups and more. Choosing bath time gifts can be great fun…and no one has to know that you got yourself that bright yellow rubber ducky!
Wrap baby in the softest plush terrycloth after the bath or wipe down sticky little fingers and faces with adorable baby towels and washcloths. Hooded towels help keep baby’s head warm and stripes, colors, or critters make washing up more fun. Choose pink or blue or more unique patterns to go with bedroom or bathroom décor.
Babies need their own special body care items. Baby wellness and grooming items include tiny finger nail clippers, thermometers that now come in pacifier form, playful little brush and comb sets, and more. Buy items individually or get a kit that includes it all.
Don’t forget changing tables and accessories! While you can change baby on the bed for the first few months, soon he or she is rolling over or crawling and having a safe surface to change diapers is essential. And drawers and shelves to store diapers, towels, extra wipes, pads, and more makes a big difference. Changing tables come in lightweight foldable models or fancier pieces of furniture to coordinate with the whole nursery. Hanging bags for diapers, wipes, and other accessories keep everything needed right at hand.
Our Baby Bath and Body Theme has gifts for every budget. For less than ten dollars, you can give an organic calendula baby cream or a cute little floating bath toy. For a bit more, get a package of disposable diapers and wipes or a custom grooming kit. Buy a bath tub and fill it like a gift basket with bath toys, baby towels, and a gentle baby shampoo. Splurge all out on a designer wooden changing table…but make sure you find out what the nursery colors are first (White? Cherry? Natural wood?). Everything in this theme is essential, so you really can’t go wrong.
