Jessica’s baby shower

Posted on May 16, 2011

I was so excited when I received Jessica’s pictures of her baby shower. Looking at these pictures, I know that this was a true celebration of a new life.   

I asked Jessica to give me a hint on what to get a mommy-to-be, as I usually have no idea what to buy. The last time I had to buy something for a baby shower, I ended up spending an hour in Baby City, walking around staring at all these baby products. It is really, really scary for someone that have no kids.

This is what she said:

My husband is a pharmacist and it happens so often that he gets called-out to homes where the mom is so overwhelmed by a crying baby, that they have no idea what to give their baby when something is bugging them. I love giving a ‘medical box’ filled with medicine and other remedies as a baby shower gift.

The list is:

  • Gripe Water
  • Earbuds
  • Surgical Spirits
  • Cotton Wool
  • Panado Drops
  • Karvol Gel
  • Illiadin Drops
  • Prodol
  • Tibb Bonnycare
  • A 5ml Syringe
(this list is for South African citizens and the names of the products might differ in your country)

Jessica and her husband Jaco, welcomed little baby Mieke. Isn’t she just gorgeous?

 Thanks Jessica for sharing your beautiful shower and for this great baby shower gift idea. I think that it is a brilliant gift! Guess what everybody that’s having a baby from now on is getting? I love the idea.

Do you want to share your baby shower with us or have a tried-and-tested baby shower gift, please send it through to me idonette@dvineliving.co.za, we love baby showers.

    Hey Idonette,

    Great post, I love the baby shower pics, they’re gorgeous. I haven’t been to many baby showers but apparently these support cushions are the business. Check this link. http://www.diapers.com/products/Boppy-Newborn-Booster-23832
