Baby shower coming up?
What you can buy and bring. I browsed and had so much fun finding some suggestions
But as a grama, I suggest that you first talk to the parents about what they need really. Sometimes it is smarter to get together and buy something more expensive for the new born. Very often what you give them can be used over and over. I remember years ago in Sweden. A family got a very expensive little coat. I saw that coat on all girls among our friends for years. Good quality is always paying off in the long run:-D

Baby showers are coming to Sweden too
More and more I hear about baby showers
When my children were born there were no baby showers. Neither when my grand children started to come. But now I hear about them here and there in Europe!I looked up the word in Wikipedia and found:
A baby shower is a party in which expectant parents receive gifts for their expected or born child. By convention, a baby shower is intended to help parents get items that they need for their baby, such as baby clothes. It is a popular tradition in the United States and in other cultures influenced by American culture or media. In some countries this party is not celebrated until the baby is born.
In the past few decades, baby showers have become more common, as families become smaller and as each child receives more individual attention. Traditionally, a baby shower is held only for the mother-to-be, and only women attend.
Traditionally, baby showers were given only for the family's first child, but over time, it has become more common to hold them for subsequent or adopted children. Even when a shower is held for only the first child, it is not uncommon for a parent to have more than one baby shower, such as one with friends and another with co-workers.
It is a nice custom. To have a baby is really costly and you need a lot of things. Allow your friends and relatives to help this nice way!
In Sweden we just had a competition in a Magazine called "Allt om barn" (All about children)what baby had the funniest face. This little girl won. Her name is Molly and the mom Maria took the photo. The rest of the photos are at the bottom of the lens!
Now there was another competition about children and animals. The same magazine "Allt om barn" I will post the lovely photos down at my lens. Scroll!
I could hardly believe my eyes ;-D

- Due to the changes in Groups at Squidoo, I have converted The Baby Shower Group into a lensography (regular lens that you can rate). This lens is featured on the lensography and I would greatly appreciate it if you would consider lensrolling or featuring the converted Baby Showers Group (http://www.squidoo.com/groups/baby-showers-group) here. Thanks much!

I got something so funny in my e-mail today.
Kids talk about marriage - just have to share it with you. Ecpecially Derrick, 8
You got to find somebody who likes the same stuff. Like, if you like
sports, she should like it that you like sports, and she should keep the
chips and dip coming.
-- Alan, age 10
No person really decides before they grow up who they're going to marry.
God decides it all way before, and you get to find out later who you're
stuck with.
-- Kristen, age 10
WHAT IS THE RIGHT AGE TO GET MARRIED?
Twenty-three is the best age because you know the person FOREVER by then.
-- Camille, age 10
HOW CAN A STRANGER TELL IF TWO PEOPLE ARE MARRIED?
You might have to guess, based on whether they seem to be yelling at the
same kids.
-- Derrick, age 8
WHAT DO YOU THINK YOUR MOM AND DAD HAVE IN COMMON?
Both don't want any more kids.
-- Lori, age 8
WHAT DO MOST PEOPLE DO ON A DATE?
Dates are for having fun, and people should use them to get to know each
other. Even boys have something to say if you listen long enough.
-- Lynnette, age 8 (isn't she a treasure?)
On the first date, they just tell each other lies and that usually gets
them interested enough to go for a second date.
-- Martin, age 10 (isn't he ready for the world of dating?)
WHAT WOULD YOU DO ON A FIRST DATE THAT WAS TURNING SOUR?
I'd run home and play dead. The next day I would call all the newspapers
and make sure they wrote about me in all the dead columns.
-- Craig, age 9
WHEN IS IT OKAY TO KISS SOMEONE?
When they're rich.
-- Pam, age 7
The law says you have to be eighteen, so I wouldn't want to mess with that.
-- Curt, age 7
The rule goes like this: If you kiss someone, then you should marry them
and have kids with them. It's the right thing to do.
-- Howard, age 8
IS IT BETTER TO BE SINGLE OR MARRIED ?
It's better for girls to be single but not for boys. Boys need someone to
clean up after them.
-- Anita, age 9 (bless you child)
HOW WOULD THE WORLD BE DIFFERENT IF PEOPLE DIDN'T GET MARRIED?
There sure would be a lot of kids to explain, wouldn't there?
-- Kelvin, age 8 (I like this kid )
And the #1 Favorite is ...
HOW WOULD YOU MAKE A MARRIAGE WORK?
Tell your wife that she looks pretty, even if she looks like a truck.
-- Ricky, age 10 (He'll be married forever )
