Julie, have you heard of diaper cakes? Just google "diaper cakes". Many sites come up -- both for buying and instructions for making.

Julie...with the recent birth of my GrandSon, one of the very best things his mommy got was a seat called a Bumbo. The spelling may be wrong. It's a rubbery seat and he is still using it at 8 months. You can also get a tray that snaps onto it for when they're a bit older.

Diaper cakes are simple to make, fun to shop for, and can be used as an awesome center piece for a baby shower! You just buy diapers and whatever goodies you want to include (bibs, washcloths, onesies, jammies, etc,) roll them up, and put a small rubber band around them and arrange them into cake form, then tie with ribbon. Then decorate it with things like rattles, pacifiers, socks.

I've also done diaper wreaths (that's a way to keep it cheap too) and those were really cute.

Shameless plug for our new product. These can be ordered without any personalization, so mom can make hand and footprints after baby's born and have them forever!

Ohh, thanks all!! Beekind, we have a bumbo and will pass it on as a hand me down. It is a nice product!

Color and War, I was thinking of a diaper cake, but maybe a wreath would be cool/different. War, do you have the directions for a wreath?

Kar-thanks for that link! I love those keepsake things. I'll have to see if they finalized a name yet, I think it would be way to cool have them open something with the name on it. Makes the baby seem really real then!!

These suggestions are great. Keep any more coming!!

Ok, those are really cool, Kar!

Julie, I can tell you how to do it if you decide on the wreath. Not sure I ever saw directions online, I just played around with them til I liked them. I'll see if I can find the pics of the ones I did for sis too.

Panda, I own the company. I started it in 1994 so I could stay home and be a mom, and since then have grown it to be nationwide and hired other moms parttime to work at home so they could be home with their kiddos too.

Thanks for asking, and thanks for being a customer!
