Baby’s Bath Time Baby Shower Gift Hamper

I love building gift hampers and had lots of fun putting together this Baby’s Bath Time Hamper for my friend’s baby shower last month. If you’re looking for Baby Shower Gift Ideas then look no further!

The pitter-patter of tiny feet

It would seem that Jon and I have finally reached that age – the one where everyone is either getting married or having babies and to be honest we hadn’t really noticed it had happened until just a few weeks ago. It seems adulthood just kind of crept up on us. Take the weekend just gone – I found myself at a baby shower while Jon was painting the town red at a friend’s stag do. These are our weekends now when we’re not engrossed in buying our first house.

Out of our school friends we are now the only unmarried couple. The first to get married now have not one, not two, but THREE children and our best friends are eagerly awaiting their first. How did it happen that we were all old enough to settle down and start having kids?! There are no wedding bells nor the pitter-patter of tiny feet for us just yet but we are enjoying getting to celebrate everyone else’s weddings and babies all the same.

Baby Shower gift Ideas

I feel like I’ve nailed house-warming gifts after putting together this breakfast in bed hamper for my sis and her partner when they moved into their first home two years ago. I love doing a variation along the same theme with different breakfast foods and drinks, perfect for the first morning they wake up in their new home.

Practical presents are always best and its the same with baby shower presents. By the time the baby shower comes around the likelihood that Mum and Dad-to-be have already spent  a fortune on baby clothes so I tend to steer well clear of baby grows and booties. Nappies are super handy and there are lots of examples on the internet of baby shower nappy “cakes” (like this one) but who REALLY want’s a cake made out of nappies?! I certainly don’t…

For the little munchkin due at the end of May I decided instead to put together a baby’s bath time hamper. Half of the gifts were consumables that would be used up and replaced in no time. Babies are expensive business so often the best baby shower gifts are the lotions and potions that Mum and Dad are going to use up hard and fast, like baby oil or cotton wool balls. The rest of the gifts were more gifty items like a rubber ducky hooded towel, baby massage oil, bath thermometer and a duck shaped musical pull toy that plays lullabies to (hopefully) sooth the just bathed baby off to sleep.

This Baby's bath time gift hamper is the perfect baby shower gift. Find out how to put it together on the Supper in the Suburbs blog

Baby Shower Gift Hamper Variations

Of course you could change up the hamper however you wanted. If you know the sex of the baby you could go all out princess pink or boisterous blue if you so choose. The little munchkin we’re all excited to meet is a boy but we went for a very neutral hamper (plus Mum is obsessed with rubber ducks!!!)

Other useful hamper contents include:

  • Flannels;
  • Sponge;
  • Grooming kit (e.g. little brush, nail scissors etc);
  • Cotton buds;
  • Baby wipes etc.

You could even buy a baby bath tub and use it as the base of your hamper instead of a wrapped shoe box!

Gifts for new parents

I love giving gifts. I genuinely think giving a gift is better than receiving. So I’m already planning what I’m going to give the new Mum and Dad once munchkin is born. (And this time it will very much be food and drink related!) If you want to see what I put together make sure you pop back in early June!

Unit then, if you like this Baby Bath Time Baby Shower Gift Hamper please do share, like and comment!

How to Install Tile Flush with Hardwood Floors

Today I’m sharing how to install tile flush with hardwood floors, like I did in my bathroom.  Can you believe the Jack and Jill bathroom finally has floors?  I’m making slow but steady progress.  The vanity area of the bathroom has a combination of hardwood and tile.  The room that contains the shower and toilet is all tile but it butts up to the wood in the other room.   Install Tile Flush with Hardwood Floors" /> I wanted the tile to be flush with the hardwood floors so I installed the tile on LATICRETE STRATA_MAT™ XT   .    It helps create an even transition between typical ¼” to 3/8″ thick tile and 3/4″thick hardwood flooring.  The STRATA_MAT XT replaces 1/4″ thick cement board — it’s much lighter, easier to cut and installs with just mortar (no screws required). install tile flush with hardwood floor" /> Installing STRATA_MAT XT I cut a piece of STRATA_MAT XT to fit in the powder room.  Then I test fit that piece and cut out the vent and toilet drain hole .  I

A Custom Six-Pac - Truck Camper Magazine

Ken “Bear” Iddins of Buffalo Hats reveals his unique eight-foot custom Six- Pac shell model with an extremely custom, tricked-out, and modified interior.  Are those really stained glass windows ? Many of us have dreamed of designing and building our own truck camper.  One moment you’re sitting in your dinette looking at the kitchen thinking, “Why didn’t they put another cabinet right there?” and the next you’re drawing a truck camper floor plan on a napkin.  We have certainly inked a few ideas this way over the years.  Then the reality the of cost and time involved in such an endeavor hit us.  If truck campers could be built in Photoshop, we would make the world’s greatest truck camper .  Until then, we’re probably just dreaming. Then again, what if we could buy a shell and then have it custom up-fitted to our exact specifications?  That eliminates the need to design and build the exterior structure and allows us to focus on the interior we’ve always wanted.
